Prism-PET II: Second prototype of the TOF-DOI Prism-PET brain scanner with tapered crystals and inverse rendering reconstruction

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Baptiste Alexandre Marie Philippe Claude Nicolet

Accurate PET quantification of tracer uptake in small brain structures is confounded by low sensitivity and the partial volume effect (PVE) caused by limited spatial resolution. In this study, we present the second prototype of the Prism-PET brain scanner ...

Inter- and intra-individual variability in CO2 production and metabolic rate

Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohamad Rida

Carbon dioxide generated by the human body and exhaled (VCO2) is commonly used for ventilation controls, while the metabolic rate (i.e., energy expenditure EE) is an important parameter defining human thermal comfort in buildings. These two parameters are ...

Two coupled chains are simpler than one: field-induced chirality in a frustrated spin ladder

Joël Mesot, Shuang Wang

Although the frustrated (zigzag) spin chain is the Drosophila of frustrated magnetism, our understanding of a pair of coupled zigzag chains (frustrated spin ladder) in a magnetic field is still lacking. We address this problem through nuclear magnetic reso ...
