Two cosmological models with non-phantom matter having the same expansion of the universe as phantom cosmologies are constructed. The first model is characterized by the evolving gravitational “constant” G and a dark energy component with a non-conserved energy-momentum tensor. The second model includes two interacting components, the dark energy component and the matter component. Closed form ...

An analysis with a transferred hyperfine field has been performed on the spectra of $^{115}\mathrm{In}$ nuclear quadrupole resonance experiments heavy fermion superconductor ${\mathrm{Ce}}_{3}{\mathrm{PtIn}}_{11}$ exhibiting co-occurrence two successive antiferromagnetic orderings (${T}_{\mathrm{N}1}$ = 2.2 K and ${T}_{\mathrm{N}2}$ 2.0 K) followed by superconducting transition (${T}_{\mathrm{c...

Purpose This study explores the possibility of a new method for x-ray computed tomography (CT) calibration by means cross-calibration with proton CT (pCT) data. The proposed aims at more accurate conversion Hounsfield Units (HU) into stopping power ratio (SPR) relative to water be used in proton-therapy treatment planning. Methods X-ray scan was acquired on synthetic anthropomorphic phantom, co...

Defect engineering plays an important role in tailoring the electronic transport properties of van der Waals materials. Methods reported so far mainly rely on $e\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}x\phantom{\rule{0.333em}{0ex}}s\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}t\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}u$ defect type and concentration, hindering realization new types device functionalities associated with engine...

Introduction: Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a well-known device for analyzing the biological fluids metabolically. Obtaining accurate and reliable information via MRS needs a homogeneous magnetic field in order to provide well-defined peaks and uniform water suppression. There are lots of reasons which can disturb the magnetic field homogeneity which can be corrected by a proc...

background: the aim of this work was to establish how well gel dosimeters performed, as substitutes for brain tissue compared with standard phantom materials such as water, polymethyl-methacrylate (or pmma), a150 plastic and te- liquid phantom material for dosimetry of neutron beams in boron neutron capture therapy. materials and methods: thermal neutron fluence, photon dose and epithermal neut...

Introduction: Appropriate definition of the distance measure between diffusion tensors has a deep impact on Diffusion Tensor Image (DTI) segmentation results. The geodesic metric is the best distance measure since it yields high-quality segmentation results. However, the important problem with the geodesic metric is a high computational cost of the algorithms based on it. The main goal of this ...

The $R(1)$, $R(3)$, and $P(3)$ rovibrational transitions in the (2-0) overtone band of HD molecule are measured Doppler-free saturation using technique NICE-OHMS spectroscopy. For line, hitherto not observed saturation, we report a frequency $203\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}821\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}936\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}805\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}(60)$ kHz. dispersive line sha...

BACKGROUND In integrated PET/MR hybrid imaging the evaluation of PET performance characteristics according to the NEMA standard NU 2-2007 is challenging because of incomplete MR-based attenuation correction (AC) for phantom imaging. In this study, a strategy for CT-based AC of the NEMA image quality (IQ) phantom is assessed. The method is systematically evaluated in NEMA IQ phantom measurements...
