BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Different and specific MR imaging patterns of lesions involving WM are widely defined in neonatal encephalopathy. The aim of this study was to describe a novel MR imaging pattern of damage characterized by the abnormal prominence of DMVs in premature and full-term neonates. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one (11 premature and 10 full-term) neonates with MR imaging evidenc...

Human meniscus is one of the important tissues related to the maintenance of the performance of knee joint, which plays a critical role in the normal biomechanics in load bearing, load distribution, and so forth [1]. Degeneration of human meniscus correlated strongly with the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) [2]. As a result, obtaining regional information of the menisci is helpful to clinica...

Tumor angiogenesis plays very important roles for tumorigenesis, tumor development, metastasis, and prognosis. Targeting T1/T2 dual modality magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the tumor vascular endothelial cells (TVECs) with MR molecular probes can greatly improve diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, as well as helping to make an early diagnosis of tumor at the preclinical stage. In this st...

Upon introducing charge carriers into the copper-oxygen sheets of the enigmatic lamellar cuprates, the ground state evolves from an insulator to a superconductor and eventually to a seemingly conventional metal (a Fermi liquid). Much has remained elusive about the nature of this evolution and about the peculiar metallic state at intermediate hole-carrier concentrations (p). The planar resistivi...

A simple matrix is a (0,1)-matrix with no repeated columns. For a (0,1)-matrix F , we define that a (0,1)-matrix A has F as a configuration if there is a submatrix of A which is a row and column permutation of F (trace is the set system version of a configuration). Let |A| denote the number of columns of A. We define forb(m,F ) = max{|A| : A is m-rowed simple matrix and has no configuration F}....
