F. Lohberger, M. Amann, L. R. Schad Medical Physics in Radiology, German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, Germany Introduction Magnetic resonance imaging of the lung is very challenging because of low proton density, cardiac and respiratory motion and susceptibility effects at large number of air/tissue interfaces on small scales. Thereby, the effective transverse relaxation time T2 of lung ...

S. Schmitter, M. Amann, L. Schad Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, Heidelberg, Germany Introduction: MR scanner noise is often a problem in fMRI studies, especially in auditory experiments. The BOLD signal induced by the scanner noise may interfere with the auditory fMRI signal [1]. Additionally the scanner's sound pressure level (SPL) of up to 110 dBA causes discomfort or anxiety in many patie...

Abstract We present CLEDB, a “single-point inversion” algorithm for inferring parameters using $I$ I , $Q$ Q $U$ U and $V$ V Stokes of forbidden magnetic dipole lines formed in the solar corona. select interest construct databases combinations plasma thermal ...

We report spectropolarimetric observations of a supersonic downflow impacting the lower atmosphere within large sunspot umbra. This work is an extension Schad et al. using acquired in He i 10830 Å triplet by Facility Infrared Spectropolarimeter. Downflowing material accelerating along cooled coronal loop reaches peak speeds near 200 km s−1 and exhibits both high speed emission absorption umbra,...

News on the publication of Two Plays for Stage was announced Performance Philosophy website during 2021 but only received my attention this year, when I ordered a copy book out curiosity. After reading it and making copious notes, contacted two authors to give them impressions, particularly those concerning responses in terms sound. The trigger ReView came from an email discussion with John Sch...

It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him. Paraschiv and Ute Schad for all the help they gave me, Reinhold Weber for the organization and expert group leading in the Swiss Alps. Livia and Ioana for their support and the wonderful time spent together. Last but not least I wish to thank and to expres...

Under normal physiological conditions, pancreatic β-cells secrete insulin to maintain fasting blood glucose levels in the range 3.5-5.5 mmol/L. In hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH), this precise regulation of insulin secretion is perturbed so that insulin continues to be secreted in the presence of hypoglycemia. HH may be due to genetic causes (congenital) or secondary to certain risk factors....

Codons are simple primitives for describing plane curves. They thus are primarily C.:0 image-based descriptors. Yet they have the power to capture important information about the 3D world, such as making part boundaries explicit. The codon description is highly LLL redundant (useful for error-correction). This redundancy can be viewed as a constraint on the number of possible codon strings. For...
