A surface coil is any radiofrequency (RF) coil placed directly on the surface of the subject. Surface coils represent some of the simplest coil designs used in magnetic resonance, but are commonly used in experiments requiring the highest possible sensitivity. In contrast to volume coils, which are designed to provide homogeneous sensitivity over the whole field-of-view, surface coils sacrifice...

We prove two rigidity theorems on holomorphic isometries into homogeneous bounded domains. The first shows that a Kähler-Ricci soliton induced by the metric of domain is trivial, i.e. Kähler-Einstein. In second one we and flat (definite or indefinite) complex Euclidean space are not relatives, they do share common Kähler submanifold (of positive dimension). Our extend results proved us earlier ...

In the present paper, an asymptotic model is constructed for the short-time deformation of an articular cartilage layer modeled as transversely isotropic, transversely homogeneous (TITH) biphasic material. It is assumed that the layer thickness is relatively small compared with the characteristic size of the normal surface load applied to the upper surface of the cartilage layer, while the bott...

Two families of general affine surface areas are introduced. Basic properties and affine isoperimetric inequalities for these new affine surface areas as well as for Lφ affine surface areas are established. 2000 AMS subject classification: Primary 52A20; Secondary 53A15. Finding the right notion of affine surface area was one of the first questions asked within affine differential geometry. At ...
