Objective
To evaluate the influence of Gadolinium contrast agent on image segmentation in magnetic resonance (MR)-based attenuation correction (AC) with four-segment dual-echo time Dixon-sequences in whole-body [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET)/MR imaging, and to analyze the consecutive effect on standardized uptake value (SUV).Materials and methods
Hybrid imaging with an integrated PET/MR system was performed in 30 oncological patients. AC was based on MR imaging with a Dixon sequence with subsequent automated image segmentation. AC maps (µmaps) were acquired and reconstructed prior to (µmap?gd) and after (µmap+gd) Gd-contrast agent application. For quantification purposes, the SUV of organs and tumors based on both µmaps were compared.Results
Tissue classification based on µmap?gd was correct in 29/30 patients; based on µmap+gd, the brain was falsely classified as fat in 12/30 patients with significant underestimation of SUV. In all cancerous lesions, tissue segmentation was correct. All concordant µmaps?gd/+gd resulted in no significant difference in SUV.Conclusion
In PET/MR, Gd-contrast agent potentially influences fat/water separation in Dixon-sequences of the head with above-average false tissue segmentation and an associated underestimation of SUV. Thus, MR-based AC should be acquired prior to Gd-contrast agent application. Additionally, integrating the MR-based AC maps into the reading-routine in PET/MR is recommended to avoid interpretation errors in cases where tissue segmentation fails.2.

Recombinant protein–inorganic nanocomposites comprised of exfoliated Na+ montmorillonite (MMT) in a recombinant protein matrix based on silk-like and elastin-like amino acid motifs (silk elastin-like protein (SELP)) were formed via a solution blending process. Charged residues along the protein backbone are shown to dominate long-range interactions, whereas the SELP repeat sequence leads to local protein/MMT compatibility. Up to a 50% increase in room temperature modulus and a comparable decrease in high temperature coefficient of thermal expansion occur for cast films containing 2–10 wt.% MMT. 相似文献

New approaches for electroless plating of nonconductive polymers or polymer-based materials are described. In this work, polyimide substrates were surface-functionalized (i) in nitrogenated (ammonia at reduced pressure) and oxygenated (air at atmospheric pressure) atmospheres under assistance of vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) irradiation (use of a xenon silent discharge excimer source) or (ii) directly in air at atmospheric pressure using a dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) device. After functionalization, the substrates were “activated” by dipping in a dilute acidic PdCl2 solution or by spin-coating of a thin metal-organic film (from a solution of palladium acetate (PdAc) in chloroform). The catalytic activity of the so-deposited palladium species toward the electroless deposition of nickel was studied before and after a VUV post-irradiation (in air at atmospheric or reduced pressure) with a view to understanding better the role of the reducer (sodium hypophosphite) within the electroless bath.
This work confirms the specific interest of grafting nitrogenated functionalities onto polymer surfaces for attaching covalently the palladium-based catalyst (in particular in the case of the PdCl2 route), forming thus strong Pd - N - C bonds at the metal/polymer interface. This results from the strong chemical affinity of palladium toward nitrogen. On the other hand, when oxygenated functionalities are surface-grafted, the conventional two-step procedure using SnCl2 and PdCl2 solutions can be proposed due to the strong chemical affinity of tin toward oxygen. The Ni deposits obtained under these different conditions pass the standard Scotch®-tape test and, therefore, exhibit a good practical adhesion. For this same purpose, it is interesting to note that the DBD treatment operating in air at atmospheric pressure causes an increase of the surface roughness and, therefore, an improvement in adhesion of metallic films when their initiation is catalyzed through the PdAc route. In addition, this work demonstrates that extensive research still has to be performed to understand and improve the Ni/polymer adhesion when the PdAc route associated with a VUV irradiation is considered. 相似文献

Photoinitiated oxidation of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol by irradiation with 254 nm and 185 nm UV light 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The degradation of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) by UV irradiation at different wavelengths was investigated under varying boundary conditions. The results showed that conventional UV radiation (254 nm) is ineffective in removing these compounds from water. In contrast to the usual UV radiation UV/VUV radiation (254 + 185 nm) was more effective in the removal of the taste and odour compounds. The degradation could be described by a simple pseudo first-order rate law with rate constants of about 1.2 × 10−3 m2 J−1 for geosmin and 2-MIB in ultrapure water. In natural water used for drinking water abstraction the rate constants decreased to 2.7 × 10−4 m2 J−1 for geosmin and 2.5 × 10−4 m2 J−1 for 2-MIB due to the presence of NOM. Additionally, the formation of the by-product nitrite was studied. In the UV/VUV irradiation process up to 0.6 mg L−1 nitrite was formed during the complete photoinitiated oxidation of the odour compounds. However, the addition of low ozone doses could prevent the formation of nitrite in the UV/VUV irradiation experiments. 相似文献

Addition of small amounts (0.5-10 vol%) of multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT) to thermoplastic elastomer Morthane produced polymer nanocomposites with high electrical conductivity (σ∼1-10 S/cm), low electrical percolation (?∼0.005) and enhancement of mechanical properties including increased modulus and yield stress without loss of the ability to stretch the elastomer above 1000% before rupture. In situ X-ray scattering during deformation indicated that these mechanical enhancements arise not only from the CNTs, but also from their impact on soft-segment crystallization. The deformation behavior after yielding of the nanocomposites, irrespective of CNT concentration, is similar to the unfilled elastomer, implying that the mechanistics of large deformation is mainly governed by the matrix. The relative enhancement of the Young's modulus of the nanocomposites is comparable to other elastomeric nanocomposites, implying that to the first order specific chemical details of the elastomeric system is unimportant. 相似文献

The curing kinetics of styrene (30 wt %) and cardanyl acrylate (70 wt %), which was synthesized from cardanol and acryloyl chloride, was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry under isothermal condition. The method allows determination of the most suitable kinetic model and corresponding parameters. All kinetic parameters including the reaction order, activation energy Ea and kinetic rate constant were evaluated. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 85: 2034–2039, 2002 相似文献

Several papers describe linear time algorithms to preprocess a tree, in order to answer subsequent nearest common ancestor
queries in constant time. Here, we survey these algorithms and related results. Whereas previous algorithms produce a linear
space data structure, in this paper we address the problem of distributing the data structure into short labels associated
with the nodes. Localized data structures received much attention recently as they play an important role for distributed
applications such as routing. We conclude our survey with a new simple algorithm that labels in O(n) time all the nodes of
an n-node rooted tree such that from the labels of any two nodes alone one can compute in constant time the label of their
nearest common ancestor. The labels assigned by our algorithm are of size O(log n) bits. 相似文献

The relation of the stabile isotopes18O/16O was determined as deviation from an internationally accepted standard (Delta-value in per mil.; standard SMOW) with SIRA in 359 wines of Tunis, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Spain and Hungary. The determined relation is primary influenced by the geografical latitude of the wine region. The influence of the year and the climatic effect of certain areas increases from the south to the north. The results of individual climatical homogeneous areas are combined. They can serve as provisional base of knowledge in order to indicate the addition of water and false declarations of the origin of wines. Furthermore, information is given about the Delta-values of the ground-water of different regions, which are completely negative. Examples were given how to quantify the addition of water by using the Delta-values of authentic wines and ground-water. Some examples for falsification of wines are described. What ist further needed for using the18O/16O-ratio in the routine analysis of wines is discussed. 相似文献
