Unstable behaviour of rocks by Luong Minh Phong

“… This paper aims to introduce a new non-destructive testing technique in use for detecting the occurrence of material instability and a specific data reduction procedure to access damage accumulation. An input-output non-parametric procedure based on ultrasonic pulse propagation, and a non-linear analyser were chosen to portray the unstable behaviour of brittle rock material under static compressive loading. …”

Research on Metal Mesh Coupling Mirrors Utilizing Metasurfaces for Optically Pumped Gas THz Lasers by Lijie Geng, Zhenxiang Fu, Shuaifei Song, Chenglong Bi, Wenyan Zhang, Ruiliang Zhang, Kun Yang, Yanchen Qu

“…The parameters of substrate-free metal mesh are calculated by the Ulrich equivalent circuit model, and the influence of metal mesh period and linewidth on its transmittance is analyzed quantitatively. Taking the THz laser with the 118.8 µm of CH₃OH optically pumped by the 9.6 µm CO₂ laser line for instance, two kinds of metal mesh were devised as input and output couplers of the resonator, and the transmittance and reflectance of the metal meshes are verified by the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. …”

Kinetics of the amino acid uptake tracer O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET) in human brain by Korbinian Krieger, Thomas Pyka, Clemens Mingels, Hasan Sari, Albert Gjedde, Axel Rominger, Paul Cumming

“…While its high tumoral uptake reflects over-expression of the L-type amino acid transporter (LAT1), there is little knowledge about the kinetics of [18F]FET uptake in healthy brain tissue, owing to the limited PET data in healthy volunteers, and to the requirement of an arterial input function for compartmental analysis. To address this, we used long axial field-of-view (LAFOV) dynamic 40-min recordings of 28 post-operative patients with intracranial tumors to undertake parametric brain mapping relative to an image-derived arterial input function (IDIF) obtained from the aorta. …”
