Application of travelling wave MR to human body imaging is restricted by the limited peak power of the available RF amplifiers. Nevertheless, travelling wave MR advantages like a large field of view excitation and distant location of transmit elements would be desirable for whole body MRI. In this work, improvement of…

OBJECTIVE To identify new genes and risk factors associated with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Several genes and loci have been associated with different forms of FTD, but a large number of families with dementia do not harbor mutations in these genes. DESIGN Whole-exome sequencing and whole-genome genotyping were pe…

The environment seems to have an effect on Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) which consequently causes physical, morphological and thermal stability changes to the polymer. Not only that, these changes may have caused nozzle blockage on the liquefier of the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) rapid prototyping machine…

Nanodumbbell gold nanoparticle (AuNP) dimers connected by DNA show significant change in interparticle distance in the presence of a specific analyte, ATP. The nanodumbbell begins in an extended state, but after the addition of the analyte, the DNA connecting the AuNPs forms a stable hairpin, which causes a large decr…
