background: early diagnosis of brain tumors has significant effect on the treatment process. brain metastatic tumors are usually diagnosed following the neurological symptoms in patients or incidentally after computerized tomography (ct) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) requests of the brain. objectives: implementation of a new method for being informed about the origin of brain tumors...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the techniques used in structural biology and drug discovery. A critical step in analysis of NMR images lies in automation of assigning NMR signals to nuclei in studied macromolecules. This procedure is known as sequence-specific resonance assignment and is carried out manually. Manual analysis of NMR data results in high costs, lengthy an...

Nonlinearity plays a critical role on the behavior of oscillators operating in the parametric resonance mode. Here, we study the effects of Effective Nonlinear Parameter, (effective cubic stiffness), γ3eff, on the behavior of parametric resonance in a micro electro mechanical oscillator. The value of γ3eff can be tuned by changing the amplitude of applied voltage. Varying the sign of γ3eff can ...

Coherent resonance is the effect of resonant excitation of nonlinear coherent modes in trapped Bose condensates. This novel effect is shown to be feasible for Bose-condensed trapped gases. Conditions for realizing this effect are derived. A method of stabilizing Bose condensates with attractive interactions is advanced. The origin of dynamic critical phenomena is elucidated. Interference effect...

This work presents data confirming the existence of a scan speed related phenomenon in contact-mode atomic force microscopy (AFM). Specifically, contact-resonance spectroscopy is used to interrogate this phenomenon. Above a critical scan speed, a monotonic decrease in the recorded contact-resonance frequency is observed with increasing scan speed. Proper characterization and understanding of th...

Atrial fibrillation ablation is a complex and challenging procedure. Appropriate patient selection is the most critical step to ensure safe and successful atrial fibrillation ablation procedure. The DECAAF study (Delayed-Enhancement MRI Determinant of Successful Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation) showed that atrial tissue fibrosis, as estimated by delayed enhancement magne...

Abstract. We consider a semilinear elliptic equation with a nonsmooth, locally Lipschitz potential function (hemivariational inequality). Our hypotheses permit double resonance at infinity and at zero (double-double resonance situation). Our approach is based on the nonsmooth critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functionals and uses an abstract multiplicity result under local linking and...

Inelastic magnetic neutron scattering reveals a localized spin resonance at 4.5 meV in the ordered phase of the geometrically frustrated cubic antiferromagnet ZnCr2O4. The resonance develops abruptly from quantum critical fluctuations upon cooling through a first order transition to a co-planar antiferromagnet at T(c) = 12. 5(5) K. We argue that this transition is a three dimensional analog of ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) play a critical role in diagnosing aortic disease such as aortic dissection and aneurysm. Additionally, the advent of contrast-enhanced MRA has allowed MRA to advance markedly and several new imaging techniques to emerge as well. While computed tomography (CT) angiography using multidetector-row CT is a significant innova...

We confront lattice QCD results on the transition from the hadronic phase to the quark–gluon plasma with hadron resonance gas and percolation models. We argue that for T ≤ Tc the equation of state derived from Monte–Carlo simulations of (2+1) quark–flavor QCD can be well described by a hadron resonance gas. We examine the quark mass dependence of the hadron spectrum on the lattice and discuss i...
