Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of two free-breathing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences-spiral ultrashort echo time (spiral UTE) and radial volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (radial VIBE).
Methods: Patients were prospectively enrolled between February 2021 and September 2022. All participants underwent both 3T MRI scanning, utilizing the radial VIBE sequence and spiral UTE sequence, as well as standard chest CT imaging.

The current study assesses several water-based PVT system thermal absorber configurations. The thermal absorber in PVT system plays a vital role in efficiency evaluation as it lowers PV temperature and collects heat energy. The current study aims to discover and analyze advanced thermal absorber design by comparing well-received spiral circular absorbers and non-cooled PV with proposed semi-circular thermal absorbers with varying flow configurations.

Traveling waves of excitation arise from the spatial coupling of local nonlinear events by transport processes. In corrosion systems, these electro-dissolution waves relay local perturbations across large portions of the metal surface, significantly amplifying overall damage. For the example of the magnesium alloy AZ31B exposed to sodium chloride solution, we report experimental results suggesting the existence of a vulnerable zone in the wake of corrosion waves where local perturbations can induce a unidirectional wave pulse or segment.

Background: (1)Due to the mental health crisis that has spiraled since the onset of COVID-19, particularly among the nation's youth, the purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of a novel, school-based mental health intervention for high school students (ages 15-17 years). This project's main aim was to determine which intervention modality was more effective with students across two school districts with varying degrees of rurality (in-person delivery vs. remote delivery).

Image enhancement is an important step in image processing to improve contrast and information quality. Intelligent enhancement algorithms are gaining popularity due to the limitations of traditional methods. This paper utilizes a transformation function to enhance the global and local information of grayscale images, but the parameters of this function can produce significant changes in the processed images.
