Objective: To propose a deep learning-based low-field mobile MRI strategy for fast, high-quality, unshielded imaging using minimal hardware resources.

Methods: Firstly, we analyze the correlation of EMI signals between the sensing coil and the MRI coil to preliminarily verify the feasibility of active EMI shielding using a single sensing coil. Then, a powerful deep learning EMI elimination model is proposed, which can accurately predict the EMI components in the MRI coil signals using EMI signals from at least one sensing coil.

With the increase in the greenhouse effect and reduction of fossil fuel resources, it is urgent to find a feasible solution to directly convert power to chemicals using renewable energy and achieving zero carbon emissions targets. It is necessary to convert renewable energy (, solar, wind, water, ) into electrical power replacing fossil-fuel-fired power. Therefore, the power-to-chemicals approach is gaining more and more attention.

Although radiotherapeutic efficiency has been revealed to be positively correlated with ferroptosis, the neutral/alkaline cytoplasm pH value of tumor cells remains an intrinsic challenge for efficient Fenton/Fenton-like reaction-based ferroptosis induction. Herein, PEGylated hollow mesoporous organosilica nanotheranostics (HMON)-GOx@MnO nanoparticles (HGMP NPs) were designed as a ferroptosis inducer, which could specifically release Mn in tumor cells to activate the Fenton-like reaction for ferroptosis induction. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) were synchronously administered for cytoplasm pH level regulation by inhibiting V-H-ATPases activity, enhancing Fenton-like reaction-based ferroptosis induction.

Objective: Liquid metal (LM) nowadays is considered a new biomedical material for medical treatment. The most common application of LM in medical therapy is taking LM as a carrier for oncology therapeutics. However, the feasibility and direct effect of LM in tumor treatment are still unknown, and how to delineate the negative resection margin (NRM) of the tumor is also a crucial problem in surgery.

In order to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of Cu(In,Ga)Se (CIGS) solar cells, a BaTiO (BTO) layer was inserted into the Cu(In,Ga)Se. The performances of the BTO-coupled CIGS solar cells with structures of Mo/CIGS/CdS/i-ZnO/AZO, Mo/BTO/CIGS/CdS/i-ZnO/AZO, Mo/CIGS/BTO/CdS/i-ZnO/AZO, Mo/CIGS/CdS/BTO/i-ZnO/AZO, Mo/CIGS/BTO/i-ZnO/AZO, Mo/CIGS/CdS/BTO/AZO, and Mo/ CIGS/CdS(5 nm)/BTO(5 nm)/i-ZnO/AZO were systematically studied via the SCAPS-1D software. It was found that the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of a BTO-coupled CIGS solar cell with a device configuration of Mo/CIGS/CdS/BTO/AZO was 24.

Purpose: To describe a new method for accurate T measurement of cortical bone that fits the data sets of both 3D UTE actual flip angle imaging (UTE-AFI) and UTE with a single TR (UTE-STR) simultaneously (UTE-AFI-STR).

Theory And Methods: To make both the constant values and longitudinal mapping functions in the signal equations for UTE-AFI and UTE-STR identical, the same RF pulses and flip angles were used. Therefore, there were three unknowns in the three equations.

As drug carriers, magnetic nanoparticles can specifically bind to tumors and have the potential for targeted therapy. It is of great significance to explore non-invasive imaging methods that can detect the distribution of magnetic nanoparticles. Based on the mechanism that magnetic nanoparticles can generate ultrasonic waves through the pulsed magnetic field excitation, the sound pressure wave equation containing the concentration information of magnetic nanoparticles was derived.

Application of Linear Gradient Magnetic Field in Arterial Profile Scanning Imaging.

Sensors (Basel)

August 2020

College of Computer Science and Engineering, Northeastern University, Shenyang 110819, China.

: Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by arterial stenosis and sclerosis are the main causes of human death. Although there are mature diagnostic techniques in clinical practice, they are not suitable for early disease prediction and monitoring due to their high cost and complex operation. The purpose of this paper is to study the coupling effect of arterial blood flow and linear gradient magnetic field, and to propose a method for the reconstruction of the arterial profile, which will lay a theoretical foundation for new electromagnetic artery scanning imaging technology.

A novel ferroelectric coupling photovoltaic effect is reported to enhance the open-circuit voltage ( ) and the efficiency of CHNHPbI perovskite solar cells. A theoretical analysis demonstrates that this ferroelectric coupling effect can effectively promote charge extraction as well as suppress combination loss for an increased minority carrier lifetime. In this study, a ferroelectric polymer P(VDF-TrFE) is introduced to the absorber layer in solar cells with a proper cocrystalline process.
