Although the birdcage resonator has been theoretically described for single- and multinuclear operation, this study provides the basic experimental guidelines needed for the fabrication and testing of such coils for various geometries and resonant frequencies from 10 to 95 MHz. The correlation of coil dimensions and resonant frequencies with individual inductance elements, L1 and L2, is also shown. Experimentally derived algorithms are presented for the determination of the capacitance needed for low-pass resonators based on measurements of the coil's "global" inductance. Ten low-pass birdcage coils with eight legs were evaluated and their four resonant frequencies were within 4% of theoretical predictions.

Low-frequency oscillations (LFO) are inherent to large interconnected power systems. Timely detection and mitigation of these oscillations is essential to maintain reliable power system operation. This paper presents a methodology to identify and mitigate low-frequency oscillations ( forced and inter-area) using a wide area monitoring system (WAMS) based power system model utilizing phasor measurement units (PMUs).

Coherent harmonic generation of magnons in spin textures.

Nat Commun

Beijing National Laboratory for Condensed Matter Physics, Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.

Harmonic generation, a notable non-linear phenomenon, has promising applications in information processing. For spin-waves in ferromagnetic materials, great progress has been made in the generation higher harmonics, however probing the coherence of these higher harmonics is challenging. Here, using in-situ diamond sensors, we study the coherent harmonic generation of spin waves in a soft ferromagnet.

Nonlocal Huygens' meta-lens for high-quality-factor spin-multiplexing imaging.

Light Sci Appl

Combining bright-field and edge-enhanced imaging affords an effective avenue for extracting complex morphological information from objects, which is particularly beneficial for biological imaging. Multiplexing meta-lenses present promising candidates for achieving this functionality. However, current multiplexing meta-lenses lack spectral modulation, and crosstalk between different wavelengths hampers the imaging quality, especially for biological samples requiring precise wavelength specificity.

Objective: Exposure to extreme temperatures has been linked to acute mental-health events in young populations, but the underlying neural mechanisms are not well understood. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging allows for the assessment of connectivity patterns in brain functional networks, which have been associated with mental-health disorders. We investigated the short-term effects of ambient temperature on functional connectivity of brain resting-state networks in preadolescents.

Clinical outcomes of adults with intracranial grade 1 and 2 ganglioglioma.

J Clin Neurosci

January 2025

Ganglioglioma is a rare primary brain tumour that most frequently occurs in children and young adults. They are generally low-grade and have a favourable prognosis, but there is limited literature to guide the optimal management. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of adults with intracranial ganglioglioma, and to determine the frequency and duration of radiological follow-up.
