Microvascular stalling, the process occurring when a capillary temporarily loses perfusion, has gained increasing interest
in recent years through its demonstrated presence in various neuropathologies. Despite efforts trying to
study the stalling events, investigations are hampered by their elusiveness and scarcity. In an attempt to alleviate these
hurdles, we present here a novel...
The increasing availability of high-intensity radiation via synchrotron light source facilities has revolutionized paleontology research in the last couple decades. Synchrotron techniques are often non-destructive, allowing thorough imaging and chemical analysis of fossils without damaging precious specimens. Hard tissue skeletal remains such as bones and teeth have long been the only source...
Elastography is a growing area of research in which certain imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are employed to measure the response of materials to external stress allowing for quantitative estimation of viscoelastic properties. This has tremendous potential in a clinical setting, as changes in tissue viscoelasticity can be indicative of myriad health conditions....
Introduction
Dielectric Wall Accelerators (DWAs), which coordinate high-gradient, nanosecond electric field pulses with particle bunch trajectory, may be suitable as compact accelerators for proton therapy. Parallel plate waveguides (PPWGs) have been proposed as a means of generating the electric field pulses. This work is a study of annular PPWGs, where electrical...
