Purpose Abdominal MRI scans may require breath-holding to prevent image quality degradation, which can be challenging for patients, especially children. In this study, we evaluate whether FID navigators can be used to measure and correct for motion prospec ...
The overall performance of accelerator magnets strongly relies on electrical and mechanical robustness of their components. With an increase of the energy, future particle accelerators will have to withstand integral doses of ionizing radiation of up to se ...

The measurement of the position of single-sized spheres in 3D from a single, divergent, radiographic projection is addressed in the present study with the development of a novel method. Generally speaking, the location of the shadow cast by a single sphere ...
Virtual reality (VR) is immersive not only because of visual integration, but because we can act and perform in a virtual environment (VE). Beyond the mere fact that a VR system provides images computed directly from the users' viewpoint in stereoscopy, it ...
Recently a joint project has been carried out between the Paul Scherrer Institut, the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne and swissnuclear, an industrial partner, in order to determine the axial void distribution in a channel installed in the reflecto ...
We use photometric redshifts and statistical background subtraction to measure stellar mass functions in galaxy group-mass (4.5-8 x 10(13) M-circle dot) haloes at 1 < z < 1.5. Groups are selected from COSMOS and SXDF, based on X-ray imaging and sparse spec ...
Introduction: Early diagnosis and early treatment have become the gold standard for management of developmental dysplasia of the hip. Surgery is required in case of failed initial treatment. Innominate pelvic osteotomy of Salter (SIO), Pemberton's pericaps ...
This thesis focuses on the physics of suprathermal electrons generated by electron cyclotron (EC) waves in tokamak plasmas, which play an important role in the physics of current drive and energetic particle-driven instabilities. The suprathermal electron ...
A method of analyzing human pulmonary X-rays using a few software procedures to process the images will be presented. Photographs of the lungs were investigated and images of the arteries were illustrated, successfully extracting the shadows due to the rib ...
The neutral beam deposition model in the BEAMS3D code is validated against neutral beam attenuation data from Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X). A set of experimental discharges where the neutral beam injection system of W7-X was utilized were reconstructed. These di ...
