Accelerators

291
Accelerators in concrete serve as admixtures to speed up the hardening process, enabling the concrete to achieve early strength faster. Although accelerators do not necessarily impact the time it takes concrete to set, they reduce this time in practice. A common accelerator is calcium chloride, which is particularly useful for hastening early strength development in cold weather or for rapid repair jobs that require quick heat generation after mixing.
The effectiveness of calcium chloride can...

Space Trusses

1.3K
A space truss is a three-dimensional counterpart of a planar truss. These structures consist of members connected at their ends, often utilizing ball-and-socket joints to create a stable and versatile framework. The space truss is widely used in various construction projects due to its adaptability and capacity to withstand complex loads.
At the core of a space truss lies the fundamental unit known as the tetrahedron. This structure is composed of six members that form a three-dimensional shape...

State Space Representation

The frequency-domain technique, commonly used in analyzing and designing feedback control systems, is effective for linear, time-invariant systems. However, it falls short when dealing with nonlinear, time-varying, and multiple-input multiple-output systems. The time-domain or state-space approach addresses these limitations by utilizing state variables to construct simultaneous, first-order differential equations, known as state equations, for an nth-order system.
Consider an RLC circuit, a...

Average Acceleration

14.0K
The importance of understanding acceleration spans our day-to-day experiences, as well as the vast reaches of outer space and the tiny world of subatomic physics. In everyday conversation, to accelerate means to speed up. For instance, we are familiar with the acceleration of our car; the harder we apply our foot to the gas pedal, the faster we accelerate. The greater the acceleration, the greater the change in velocity over a given time. Acceleration is widely seen in experimental physics. In...

Instantaneous Acceleration01:16

Instantaneous Acceleration

23.2K
Acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity, but it is not always in the direction of motion. When an object slows down, its acceleration is opposite to the direction of its motion. Although commonly referred to as deceleration, this causes confusion in our analysis as deceleration is not a vector, and does not point to a specific direction with respect to a coordinate system. Therefore, the term deceleration is not used. For example, when a subway train slows down, it...

Acceleration Vectors

23.0K
In everyday conversation, accelerating means speeding up. Acceleration is a vector in the same direction as the change in velocity, Δv, therefore the greater the acceleration, the greater the change in velocity over a given time. Since velocity is a vector, it can change in magnitude, direction, or both. Thus acceleration is a change in speed or direction, or both. For example, if a runner traveling at 10 km/h due east slows to a stop, reverses direction, and continues their run at 10 km/h...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Quantitative MRI Techniques

Background:

  • Cardiac T2 mapping is crucial for assessing myocardial tissue properties.
  • Current techniques often require long acquisition times, limiting clinical applicability.
  • High-spatial-resolution T2 mapping is desirable for detailed myocardial assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and optimize a novel, accelerated cardiac T2 mapping technique.
  • To achieve high spatial resolution and precision with reduced acquisition time.
  • To validate the new technique against established methods in healthy volunteers and patients.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation and optimization of the SKRATCH (Shared k-space Radial T2 Characterization of the Heart) technique.
  • Evaluation of six SKRATCH variants (including different pulse sequences and breathing strategies) in phantoms and 22 healthy volunteers at 3T.
  • Comparison with a navigator-gated reference technique for precision and spatial resolution assessment.
  • Application of the optimal breath-held SKRATCH technique in patients with subacute myocardial infarction.

Main Results:

  • The free-breathing SKRATCH technique reduced acquisition time by 52.4% while preserving precision and spatial resolution.
  • The optimal breath-held SKRATCH technique showed homogenous T2 values comparable to the reference (39.9 ± 3.4 ms vs. 39.5 ± 3.4 ms).
  • All myocardial infarction patients exhibited elevated T2 values in ischemic regions, demonstrating clinical utility.

Conclusions:

  • The optimized SKRATCH technique enables accelerated, high-spatial-resolution cardiac T2 mapping.
  • The method is validated in healthy volunteers and shows promise for clinical application in patients.
  • SKRATCH offers a precise and efficient approach for quantitative assessment of myocardial tissue.
