The rotating frame nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation rate R(1rho) in the blood and cell lysate was studied at 4.7T to provide reference values for in vivo modeling and to address the mechanisms contributing to net relaxation. A strong dependence on oxygenation, hematocrit, and spin lock field strength B(1) (0.2-1.6G) was observed in whole blood, whereas in lysate the effects were severely attenuated. The results were further compared to transverse relaxation rate R(2). A good agreement in low-field asymptotes of these two relaxation rates was found. R(1rho) field dispersion was fitted to Lorenzian line shape and resulted in correlation times around 40 micros. The dispersion behavior was related to motional properties of intracellular hemoglobin and effects of susceptibility shift interface across the cell membrane induced by compartmentalization of Hb into cells in blood.

Bayesian active sound localisation: To what extent do humans perform like an ideal-observer?

Self-motion is an essential but often overlooked component of sound localisation. As the directional information of a source is implicitly contained in head-centred acoustic cues, that acoustic input needs to be continuously combined with sensorimotor information about the head orientation in order to decode to a world-centred frame of reference. When utilised, head movements significantly reduce ambiguities in the directional information provided by the incoming sound.

This paper presents a robust and efficient method for validating the accuracy of orientation sensors commonly used in practical applications, leveraging measurements from a commercial robotic manipulator as a high-precision reference. The key concept lies in determining the rotational transformations between the robot's base frame and the sensor's reference, as well as between the TCP (Tool Center Point) frame and the sensor frame, without requiring precise alignment. Key advantages of the proposed method include its independence from the exact measurement of rotations between the reference instrumentation and the sensor, systematic testing capabilities, and the ability to produce repeatable excitation patterns under controlled conditions.

In modern knee arthroplasty, surgeons increasingly aim for individualised implant selection based on data-driven decisions to improve patient satisfaction rates. The identification of an implant design that optimally fits to a patient's native kinematic patterns and functional requirements could provide a basis towards subject-specific phenotyping. The goal of this study was to achieve a first step towards identifying easily accessible and intuitive features that allow for discrimination between implant designs based on kinematic data.

Nocturnal and crepuscular fast-eyed insects often exploit multiple optical channels and temporal summation for fast and low-light imaging. Here, we report high-speed and high-sensitive microlens array camera (HS-MAC), inspired by multiple optical channels and temporal summation for insect vision. HS-MAC features cross-talk-free offset microlens arrays on a single rolling shutter CMOS image sensor and performs high-speed and high-sensitivity imaging by using channel fragmentation, temporal summation, and compressive frame reconstruction.

This study aims to improve the detection of dental burs, which are often undetected due to their minuscule size, slender profile, and substantial manufacturing output. The present study introduces You Only Look Once-Dental bur (YOLO-DB), an innovative deep learning-driven methodology for the accurate detection and counting of dental burs. A Lightweight Asymmetric Dual Convolution module (LADC) was devised to diminish the detrimental effects of extraneous features on the model's precision, thereby enhancing the feature extraction network.
