X-ray Crystallography02:18

X-ray Crystallography

25.9K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Retrieval01:12

Retrieval

425
Retrieval is the process of getting information out of memory storage and back into conscious awareness. This ability is essential for daily tasks like brushing hair and teeth, driving to work, and performing job duties. Retrieval occurs in three ways: recall, recognition, and relearning.
Recall involves accessing information without cues, such as during an essay test, where individuals must retrieve facts and concepts from memory unaided. Another example is remembering the name of a colleague...

ER Retrieval Pathway01:45

ER Retrieval Pathway

4.7K
In the secretory pathway, vesicles transport proteins from one cellular compartment to another in forward transport to deliver the protein to its correct location. Occasionally, misfolded proteins and incorrect proteins escape their original compartments, and a retrieval pathway is used to return the escaped proteins to their original compartment.
The ER uses many checkpoints to prevent the entry of incorrectly folded or a resident protein as cargo onto a transport vesicle. These mechanisms...

Propagation of Waves01:07

Propagation of Waves

2.9K
When a wave propagates from one medium to another, part of it may get reflected in the first medium, and part of it may get transmitted to the second medium. In such a case, the interface of the two mediums can be considered as a boundary that is neither fixed nor free.
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...

Phase Diagrams02:39

Phase Diagrams

49.9K
A phase diagram combines plots of pressure versus temperature for the liquid-gas, solid-liquid, and solid-gas phase-transition equilibria of a substance. These diagrams indicate the physical states that exist under specific conditions of pressure and temperature and also provide the pressure dependence of the phase-transition temperatures (melting points, sublimation points, boiling points). Regions or areas labeled solid, liquid, and gas represent single phases, while lines or curves represent...

Propagation of Action Potentials01:23

Propagation of Action Potentials

9.1K
The propagation of an action potential refers to the process by which a nerve impulse, or "action potential," travels along a neuron.
Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Materials Science
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • X-ray phase-contrast tomography (PB-CT) is crucial for imaging multi-material objects.
  • Conventional PB-CT methods often involve complex phase retrieval on individual projections.

  • To develop and evaluate a novel 3D post-reconstruction phase retrieval method for PB-CT.
  • To improve noise suppression and computational efficiency in the reconstruction of multi-material objects.
  • To compare the performance of the 3D method against conventional absorption tomography and 2D phase retrieval techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a 3D post-reconstruction phase retrieval using the homogeneous transport of intensity equation (TIE-Hom).

  • Numerical simulations to assess accuracy and noise characteristics under various experimental conditions.

Main Results:

  • The 3D post-reconstruction method demonstrated a modest improvement in noise suppression compared to existing PB-CT methods.
  • Significant computational gains were observed for multi-material samples compared to projection-based phase retrieval.
  • Constraining phase retrieval to a 3D region of interest reduced computational cost and eliminated the need for multiple reconstructions.

  • The developed 3D post-reconstruction phase retrieval method offers enhanced noise suppression for PB-CT.
  • This approach provides substantial computational advantages for reconstructing multi-material objects.
  • The localized 3D region of interest strategy is efficient and effective for complex sample imaging.
