Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is currently the state of the art method for characterizing microscopic tissue structure in the white matter in normal or diseased brain in vivo. DTI is estimated from a series of Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) volumes. DWIs suffer from a number of artifacts which mandate stringent Quality Control (QC) schemes to eliminate lower quality images for optimal tensor...

The question of the uniqueness of energy-momentum tensors in the linearized general relativity and in the linear massive gravity is analyzed without using variational techniques. We start from a natural ansatz for the form of the tensor (for example, that it is a linear combination of the terms quadratic in the first derivatives), and require it to be conserved as a consequence of field equatio...

A major challenge in high-precision light-pulse atom interferometric experiments such as tests of the weak equivalence principle is uncontrollable dependency phase on initial velocity and position atoms presence inhomogeneous gravitational fields. To overcome this limitation, mitigation strategies have been proposed, however, valid only for harmonic potentials or small branch separations more g...

The spherical tensor gradient operator Y l (∇), which is obtained by replacing the Cartesian components of r by the Cartesian components of ∇ in the regular solid harmonic Y l (r), is an irreducible spherical tensor of rank l. Accordingly, its application to a scalar function produces an irreducible spherical tensor of rank l. Thus, it is in principle sufficient to consider only multicenter int...
