This study evaluated the machine-dependent three-dimensional geometric distortion images acquired from a 1.5T 700 mm-wide bore MR-simulator based on a large geometric accuracy phantom. With the consideration of radiation therapy (RT) application requirements, every sequence was examined in various combinations of acquisition-orientations and receiver-bandwidths with console-integrated distortion correction enabled. Distortion was repeatedly measured over a six-month period. The distortion measured from the images acquired at the beginning of this period was employed to retrospectively correct the distortion in the subsequent acquisitions. Geometric distortion was analyzed within the largest field-of-view allowed. Six sequences were examined for comprehensive distortion analysis-VIBE, SPACE, TSE, FLASH, BLADE and PETRA. Based on optimal acquisition parameters, their diameter-sphere-volumes (DSVs) of CT-comparable geometric fidelity (where 1 mm distortion was allowed) were 333.6 mm, 315.1 mm, 316.0 mm, 318.9 mm, 306.2 mm and 314.5 mm respectively. This was a significant increase from 254.0 mm, 245.5 mm, 228.9 mm, 256.6 mm, 230.8 mm and 254.2 mm DSVs respectively, when images were acquired using un-optimized parameters. The longitudinal stability of geometric distortion and the efficacy of retrospective correction of console-corrected images, based on prior distortion measurements, were inspected using VIBE and SPACE. The retrospectively corrected images achieved over 500 mm DSVs with 1 mm distortion allowed. The median distortion was below 1 mm after retrospective correction, proving that obtaining prior distortion map for subsequent retrospective distortion correction is beneficial. The systematic evaluation of distortion using various combinations of sequence-type, acquisition-orientation and receiver-bandwidth in a six-month time span would be a valuable guideline for optimizing sequence for various RT applications.

β-Addition products are common in conjugate addition reactions consisting of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Here, we are reporting an uncommon α-addition product as a major product in the thioacetic acid conjugate addition reaction on a peptide consisting of ()-α,β-unsaturated γ-amino acids. In addition, we observed highly diastereoselective β-addition products from the thiophenol and thioethanol conjugate addition reaction on peptides.

Objective: Time distortions characterise severe mental disorders, exhibiting different clinical and neurobiological manifestations. This systematic review aims to explore the existing literature encompassing experimental studies on time perception in patients with bipolar disorder (BD), considering psychopathological and cognitive correlates.
Methods: Studies using an experimental paradigm to objectively measure the capacity to judge time have been searched for.

Acentric crystalline materials are the cornerstone of numerous cutting-edge technologies and have been highly sought-after, but they are difficult to construct controllably. Herein, by introducing a new p-block element to break the symmetrical environment of the d transition metal in the centric matrix TiTeO, a novel acentric tellurite sulfate, namely Ti(TeO)(SO), was successfully constructed. In its structure, two types of p-block element-centered oxo-anionic groups, [TeO] and [SO], endow [TiO] with an out-of-center distortion along the local C[111] direction, which is rare in titanium oxides containing a lone-pair cation.

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is the third most common cause of acute cardiovascular disease, which can lead to high morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Anatomical and electrophysiological variations and obesity may complicate timely diagnosis and delay required management. While computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) remains the most accurate diagnostic tool, initial assessments using electrocardiography (ECG) or echocardiography can be helpful in early suspicion.

Although mother-to-infant attachment begins during pregnancy, few studies have explored correlates of prenatal attachment and associations with later measures of attachment representations. This study explored whether prenatal attachment is related to attachment representations during toddlerhood and whether associations between them reflect the broader quality of mothers' relationships. Young, ethnically/racially diverse, low-income American women (n = 160) were followed from pregnancy through 30 months postpartum.
