Published: September 1999

Distortion caused by local static field variations in magnetic resonance imaging can be corrected by using a method developed by Chang and Fitzpatrick (CF) that requires two acquisitions identical except for the polarity of the read gradient. This approach has previously been applied to spin-echo imaging. In this report, its role in correcting geometric distortion in gradient-echo imaging is investigated using a dynamic programming algorithm. This approach appears to successfully handle many of the edge artifacts otherwise inherent in the CF method. Once the correction has been made, it is then possible to extract the local magnetic field itself. Magn Reson Med 42:585-590, 1999.

The formation of following the double ionization of small organic compounds via a roaming mechanism, which involves the generation of H and subsequent proton abstraction, has recently garnered significant attention. Nonetheless, a cohesive model explaining trends in the yield of characterizing these unimolecular reactions is yet to be established. We report yield and femtosecond time-resolved measurements following the strong-field double ionization of CHX molecules, where X = OD, Cl, NCS, CN, SCN, and I.

Article Synopsis
  • All-solid-state lithium metal batteries are promising for high energy density and safety, but issues like voids at the anode/electrolyte interface during lithium stripping can hurt stability.
  • Stack pressure and operating temperature can induce creep deformation in lithium metal, potentially improving interfacial issues caused by these voids, although understanding of these effects is still lacking.
  • A new coupled model (EDMP-VE) has been developed to study the influence of pressure and temperature on void evolution, showing that higher conditions can enhance void healing and stabilize interfaces by reducing void expansion and promoting filling.

Background: Intraoral radiography remains the most widely employed dental radiographic technique for producing geometrically accurate images with minimal distortion and magnification. Despite its common use in the dental office, incorrect projection geometry can be challenging leading to image distortions. To mitigate these inaccuracies specific radiographic landmarks on the face are utilized during periapical radiography.

The hominin mandible SK 15 was discovered in April 1949 in Swartkrans Member 2, dated to ∼1.4 Ma. Albeit distorted on the right side, the left and right corpus of SK 15 are relatively low and thick, even compared to most Early to Middle Pleistocene Homo specimens.

Distorting crack-front geometry for enhanced toughness by manipulating bioinspired heterogeneity.

Control of crack propagation is crucial to make tougher heterogeneous materials. As a crack interacts with material heterogeneities, its front distorts and adopts complex tortuous configurations. While the behavior of smooth cracks with straight fronts in homogeneous materials is well understood, the toughening by rough cracks with tortuous fronts in heterogeneous materials remains unsolved.
