Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has long been considered a workhorse MR imaging
pulse sequence for neuroimaging, particularly in the realm of stroke imaging. Over the past …

Eleven aromatic pesticides were used for a removal study using a 4040 spiral-wound
polyamide nanofiltration (NF) membrane. The influences of molecular weight, molecular size (…

A multicentre, randomized clinical trial was undertaken to test the hypothesis that acupuncture
is more efficacious than sham control procedure in the prevention of episodic tension-type …

Otalgia is very common, and when the cause of ear pain is not identified on otoscopy and
physical examination, cross-sectional imaging is routinely used to evaluate for potential …

Markov chains are central to the understanding of random processes. This is not only because
they pervade the applications of random processes, but also because one can calculate …

… In, Cu and Zn all have similar volatilities, consistent with their similar relative abundances in
the silicate Earth, whereas Sn is more volatile and Cd, Ag and Ge much more volatile than Zn…

The authors present photometric and high-resolution spectroscopic data on the ultra-metal-deficient
red giant CD-38 245. A model atmosphere analysis yields the parameters effective …

We report the discovery and high-resolution, high-S/N spectroscopic analysis of the ultra-metal-poor
red giant HE 0557-4840, which is the third most heavy-element-deficient star …

A spectroscopic survey has been performed of 69 stars on or near the giant branches of the
metal-poor globular cluster NGC 6752. Our basic results are:(i) There is a large range in the …

We present high-resolution (R∼ 40,000), high-signal-to-noise ratio (20–90) spectra of an
extremely metal-poor giant star Boo− 1137 in the" ultra-faint" dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) …
