    Notes: Abstract. The relaxivities r1 and r2 of magnetic resonance contrast agents and the T1 relaxation time values of tissues are strongly field dependent. We present quantitative data and simulations of different gadolinium-based extracellular fluid contrast agents and the modulation of their contrast enhancement by the magnetic field to be able to answer the following questions: How are the dose and field dependences of their contrast enhancement? Is there an interrelationship between dose and field dependence? Should one increase or decrease doses at specific fields? Nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion data were acquired for the following contrast agents: gadopentetate dimeglumine, gadoterate meglumine, gadodiamide injection, and gadoteridol injection, as well as for several normal and pathological human tissue samples. The magnetic field range stretched from 0.0002 to 4.7 T, including the entire clinical imaging range. The data acquired were then fitted with the appropriate theoretical models. The combination of the diamagnetic relaxation rates (R1 = 1/T1 and R2 = 1/T2) of tissues with the respective paramagnetic contributions of the contrast agents allowed the prediction of image contrast at any magnetic field. The results revealed a nearly identical field and dose-dependent increase of contrast enhancement induced by these contrast agents within a certain dose range. The target tissue concentration (TTC) was an important though nonlinear factor for enhancement. The currently recommended dose of 0.1 mmol/kg body weight seems to be a compromise close to the lower limits of diagnostically sufficient contrast enhancement for clinical imaging at all field strengths. At low field contrast enhancement might be insufficient. Adjustment of dose or concentration, or a new class of contrast agents with optimized relaxivity, would be a valuable contribution to a better diagnostic yield of contrast enhancement at all fields.

    Notes: We report the fabrication and dc, microwave characteristics of 0.1 μm, Schottky-collector resonant tunnel diodes (SRTDs) in the AlAs/In0.53Ga0.47As/InP material system. Devices with contact areas as small as 0.05 μm2 have been fabricated using electron beam lithography with an interrupted footprint T-gate process. SRTD's fabricated with 1.4 nm AlAs barriers exhibited a 5×105 A/cm2 peak current density at 0.95 V and a −19 mS/μm2 peak negative conductance. The devices incorporate fully depleted P-doped cap layers to suppress surface leakage currents. From the measured dc and microwave characteristics, a maximum frequency of oscillation fmax=2.2 THz is estimated. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Morphological properties and origin of the photospheric facular granules (1977)

    Notes: Abstract From time series of high resolution photographs, morphological properties of the photospheric facular granules were derived. The facular granules are cells of the common granular pattern, brighter than the normal granules when seen between cos θ = 0.6 and the limb. Their apparent diameter, which decreases towards the limb, is smaller than that of the normal granules: 0″.65 and 1″.25 respectively at cos θ = 0.55; their lifetime is 25 min but their ‘bright stage’ lifetime is only 15 min; they are visible closer to the limb than the normal granules: 1″.2 compared to 2″–5″; the brightening of the facular granules occurs at a faster rate than their fading. From the great similitude of both morphological properties and temperature models of facular and normal granules, it appears possible that the photospheric facular granules are convective cells modified by the presence of a magnetic field of some hundreds Gauss.

    The fine structure of light-bridges in sunspots (1979)
    Springer

    ISSN: 1573-093X
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Abstract High resolution photographs obtained at the Pic du Midi Observatory show that there are three types of sunspot light bridges according to their morphological structures: the photospheric ones, the penumbral ones and the umbral ones. Consequently there are no specific structures in light bridges; it results that they should not be due to specific physical properties. Properties of the fine structure of a penumbral light bridge are described.

    A model of photospheric faculae deduced from white light high resolution pictures (1975)
    Springer
    Solar physics 45 (1975), S. 105-114 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-093X

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Abstract High resolution pictures (about 0″.3) of photospheric faculae near the solar limb have been obtained with the Pic du Midi 50 cm refractor; their granular structure then clearly appears. The microphotometric study of these facular granules shows that the ratio of their intensity to the photospheric intensity, I f/I ph (cosθ) reaches a maximum near cosθ = 0.3 and then decreases towards the limb. The values of this ratio have been corrected with a most likely spread function. Then a temperature model of a facular granule is obtained: with respect to the neighbouring photosphere, this granule appears as a photospheric ‘hot cloud’ which does not extend high in the solar atmosphere (thickness 100 km above τ5000 = 1). The temperature excess is 750K at maximum. This hot region is located over a layer which is cooler than the normal photosphere at the same level. Another hot region might extend above the photospheric ‘hot cloud’, possibly up to the chromosphere. This photospheric facula model which is confined to the lower photosphere seems to indicate that this phenomenon is different from the photospheric network which is visible up to the lower chromosphere.

    Heterogeneity and the voluntary provision of public goods (1999)

    Notes: Abstract We investigate the effects of heterogeneity and incomplete information on aggregate contributions to a public good using the voluntary contribution mechanism. The non-linear laboratory environment has three-person groups as partners under varying conditions of information and communication. Bergstrom, Blum and Varian predict that increasing heterogeneity will have no effect on aggregate contributions in a no-communication environment. Ledyard conjectures a positive effect of incomplete information, a negative effect of heterogeneity, and a positive interaction of heterogeneity and incomplete information. We find that incomplete information has a small but significantnegative effect. Heterogeneity has apositive effect on aggregate contributions, but its effects interact unexpectedly with communication. In a no-communication environment, heterogeneity in two dimensions (endowment and preferences) increases contributions substantially while heterogeneity in a single dimension (endowment or preferences) has little effect. In the communication environment we find the reverse. We also find a positive interaction between heterogeneity and incomplete information. Thus we reject the Bergstrom, Blume and Varian invariance result and provide mixed evidence on Ledyard's conjectures.

    Flame pyrolysis – a preparation route for ultrafine pure γ-Fe2O3 powders and the control of their particle size and properties (1997)

    Notes: Abstract Highly dispersed γ-Fe2O3 powders with particle sizes down to 5 nm were directly synthesized by combustion of solutions of iron pentacarbonyl or iron(III) acetylacetonate in toluene in an oxyhydrogen flame. The particle size as well as other properties of the obtained powders can be controlled simply by varying the iron concentration in the starting solutions. Phase composition, morphological and magnetic properties of the powders were studied. The reasons for the formation of γ-Fe2O3 are discussed by means of structure–chemical/kinetic considerations. The materials are interesting as recording materials, or ferrofluids, or for colour imaging and bioprocessing.
