Open AccessMicroscopy techniques for determining water–cement (w/c) ratio in hardened concrete: a round-robin assessment
Water to cement (w/c) ratio is usually the most important parameter specified in concrete design and is sometimes the subject of dispute when a shortfall in concrete strength or durability is an issue. However...

Identifying variation in models of care for the genomic-based diagnosis of inherited retinal dystrophies in the United Kingdom
Advances in genomic technologies are prompting a realignment of diagnostic and management pathways for rare inherited disease. New models of care are being developed as genomic-based diagnostic testing becomes...

Late enhanced computed tomography in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy enables accurate left-ventricular volumetry
Late enhancement (LE) multi-slice computed tomography (leMDCT) was introduced for the visualization of (intra-) myocardial fibrosis in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). LE is associated with adverse cardiac e...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in cardiac CT: a validation study on the detection of intramyocardial fibrosis in consecutive patients
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) confers a 4–5 %/year-risk for sudden cardiac death. Intramyocardial fibrosis (IF) is associated with this risk. The gold standard of IF visualization is cardiovascular magnet...

Determination of a molecular torsional angle in the metarhodopsin-I photointermediate of rhodopsin by double-quantum solid-state NMR
We present a solid-state NMR study of metarhodopsin-I, the pre-discharge intermediate of the photochemical signal transduction cascade of rhodopsin, which is the 41 kDa integral membrane protein that triggers ...

Model for a three-dimensional optical illusion
A homogeneous coordinate system is used to describe the transformation from a real three-dimensional stimulus to an illusory three-dimensional perceptual object. The model comprises a series of transformations...
