Results of a parametric study of carbon nanotube production by the double-pulse laser oven process are presented. The effect of various operating parameters on the production of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is estimated by characterizing the nanotube material using analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermo gravimetric analysis and Raman spectroscopy. The study included changing the sequence of the laser pulses, laser energy, pulse separation, type of buffer gas used, operating pressure, flow rate, inner tube diameter, as well as its material, and oven temperature. It was found that the material quality and quantity improve with deviation from normal operation parameters such as laser energy density higher than 1.5 J/cm2, pressure lower than 67 kPa, and flow rates higher than 100 sccm. Use of helium produced mainly small diameter tubes and a lower yield. The diameter of SWCNTs decreases with decreasing oven temperature and lower flow rates.

BACKGROUND Solitary thyroid nodules present a challenge in differentiating between benign and malignant conditions using ultrasound (US). Arrival time parameter imaging (At-PI) following contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can effectively visualize the vascular architectural patterns of the nodules, providing valuable diagnostic information. This study aimed to explore the application value of At-PI in differentiating thyroid nodules, specifically focusing on a sample of 127 cases.

Introduction: Prior researches have reported abnormal changes of thalamus in patients with subcortical ischemic vascular disease (SIVD), which was usually analyzed as a whole. However, it was currently unclear whether the structure, function and connectivity of thalamic subregions were differentially affected by this disease and affected different cognitive functions.
Methods: This study recruited 30 SIVD patients with cognitive impairment (SIVD-CI), 30 SIVD patients with cognitive unimpaired (SIVD-CU) and 32 normal controls.

Background And Purpose: Punctate White Matter Lesion (PWML) is common in neonates. Multi-parametric MR imaging with flexible design (MULTIPLEX, MTP) generates multiple requires only about 6 min for full-head coverage. This study aimed to evaluate the value of T1WI and aT1WI contrasts of MTP in detecting neonatal punctate white matter lesions.
