the study area is a part of the sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic belt comprising low- to high-graderegional and contact metamorphic rocks that are intruded by various plutonic bodies. garnet crystals areabundant in pelitic schists, amphibole schists, migmatites, hornfelses and aplites. they are mostly almandinerich(xalm>60) pyralspite garnets and show dodecahedron, trapezohedron and mixed (dodecahed...

Temperature can be used as clinical marker for tissue metabolism and the detection of inflammations or tumors. The use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) monitoring physiological parameters like temperature noninvasively is steadily increasing. In this study, we present a proof-of-principle study MRI contrast agents (CA) absolute concentration independent imaging. These CAs are based on azoimidaz...

In this study structural and mechanical properties of a 1 μm thick Al2O3 coating, deposited on 316L stainless steel by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), subjected to high energy ion irradiation were assessed. Mechanical pristine ion-modified specimens investigated using the nanoindentation technique. A comprehensive characterization combining Transmission Electron Microscopy Grazing-Incidence X-ra...
