The use of hyperpolarized agents in magnetic resonance, such as (13)C-labelled compounds, enables powerful new imaging and detection modalities that stem from a 10,000-fold boost in signal. A major challenge for the future of the hyperpolarization technique is the inherently short spin-relaxation times, typically <60 s for (13)C liquid-state compounds, which limit the time that the signal remai...

The hardness, heat conductivity and low friction coefficient of microcrystalline diamond make it a suitable candidate for tribological applications. However, its roughness and high deposition temperature pose significant obstacles to these applications. We have successfully grown nanocrystalline diamond on steel at 400 °C by hot-filament chemical vapor deposition by employing a CrN interfacial ...

in this paper, we establish some new results in ultra bessel sequences and ultra bessel sequences of subspaces. also, we investigate ultra bessel sequences in direct sums of hilbert spaces.specially, we show that {( fi, gi)}∞ i=1 is a an ultra bessel sequencefor hilbert space h ⊕ k if and only if { fi}∞ i=1 and {gi}∞ i=1 are ultrabessel sequences for hilbert spaces h and k, respectively.
