This work determines the spatial and temporal distribution of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure and brain displacement during an infusion test in a spherically symmetric model of the brain. The response of CSF pressure and parenchymal displacement to blood pressure pulsations is determined in the solution. We use a spherically symmetric, three-component poroelastic model of the brain, differentiating between the solid elastic matrix, the CSF and the arterial blood compartments. The governing equations are linearized with quasi-constant poroelastic parameters. The solution does reproduce the average intracranial pressure increase during the test as well as the rise in CSF pressure pulsation amplitude due to transmission of blood pressure oscillations. In addition, the CSF flux into and out of the parenchyma is shown over time.

Granular hydrogels are injectable and inherently porous biomaterials assembled through the packing of microparticles. These particles typically have a symmetric and spherical shape. However, recent studies have shown that asymmetric particles with high aspect ratios, such as fibers and rods, can significantly improve the mechanics, structure, and cell-guidance ability of granular hydrogels.

We performed the first simulations of accretion onto the compact objects in the Reissner-Nordström (RN) space-time. The results obtained in general relativity are representative of those for spherically symmetric naked singularities and black holes in a number of modified gravity theories. A possible application of these calculations is to the active galactic nuclei with their powerful jets and outflows.

Background: This study investigates a multi-angle acquisition method aimed at improving image quality in organ-targeted PET detectors with planar detector heads. Organ-targeted PET technologies have emerged to address limitations of conventional whole-body PET/CT systems, such as restricted axial field-of-view (AFOV), limited spatial resolution, and high radiation exposure associated with PET procedures. The AFOV in organ-targeted PET can be adjusted to the organ of interest, minimizing unwanted signals from other parts of the body, thus improving signal collection efficiency and reducing the dose of administered radiotracer.

Nanogold is an emerging material for enhancing surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), which enables the detection of hazardous analytes at trace levels. This study presents a simple, single-step plasma synthesis method to control the size and yield of Au nanoparticles by using plasma-liquid redox chemistry. The pin-based argon plasma reduces the Au precursor in under 5 min, synthesizing Au spherical particles ranging from ∼20 nm at 0.
