Published: October 2012

The flow in a cerebral aneurysm on the Anterior Communicating Artery is simulated based on patient medical imaging. The sensitivity of the flow pattern is assessed with respect to variation of outflow split and geometric parameters. A comparison is made between the results from unsteady pulsatile computations and steady-state computations. The results show that for this case there is no significant sensitivity to pulsatile flow-rate variations. Steady-state and pulsatile simulations both predict a strong sensitivity to outflow split and geometric smoothing. It is therefore proposed to analyse the stability of aneurysmal flow with an extensive sensitivity study based on steady-state computations and use this sensitivity for rupture prediction.

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines) is a major pathogen harmful to soybean all over the world, causing huge yield loss every year. Soybean resistance to SCN is a complex quantitative trait controlled by a small number of major genes (rhg1 and Rhg4) and multiple micro-effect genes. Therefore, the continuous identification of new resistant lines and genes is needed for the sustainable development of global soybean production.

Sensitivity of Functional Arterial Spin Labelling in Detecting Cerebral Blood Flow Changes.

Arterial spin labelling (ASL) is a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method. ASL techniques can quantitatively measure cerebral perfusion by fitting a kinetic model to the difference between labelled images (tag images) and ones which are acquired without labelling (control images). ASL functional MRI (fMRI) provides quantitative perfusion maps by using arterial water as an endogenous tracer instead of depending on vascular blood oxygenation level.

Dihydroporphyrin iron (DH-Fe) is a novel plant growth regulator that plays significant roles in plant stress resistance. We found that is extremely sensitive to low temperature (LT) with a threshold of 25°C. To evaluate whether and how DH-Fe alleviates LT stress in , different DH-Fe concentrations (0, 10, 20, and 40 μg·L) were applied to estimate its effects on C and N metabolism and antioxidative capacity in grown under 20°C.
