High-Performance 3D Compressive Sensing MRI Reconstruction Using Many-Core Architectures by Daehyun Kim, Joshua Trzasko, Mikhail Smelyanskiy, Clifton Haider, Pradeep Dubey, Armando Manduca

“…In this work, we investigate how different throughput-oriented architectures can benefit one CS algorithm and what levels of acceleration are feasible on different modern platforms. We demonstrate that a CUDA-based code running on an NVIDIA Tesla C2050 GPU can reconstruct a 256 × 160 × 80 volume from an 8-channel acquisition in 19 seconds, which is in itself a significant improvement over the state of the art. …”

Linear Correlation of Ba and Eu Contents by Hydrothermal Activities: A Case Study in the Hetang Formation, South China by Chao Chang, Qi Fu, Xiaolin Wang

“…This interpretation was supported by similar linear Ba-Eu correlations retrieved from barite-bearing chert in another area of the Yangtze platform during the same geological period. Therefore, linear Ba-Eu correlations may be more common than previously thought in this area, where hydrothermal activities were active during the specific time interval.…”
