4. 2. MRI Contrast Enhancement using Gd2O3 Nanoparticles

   Author : Anna Klasson; Maria Engström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; nanoparticles; gadolinium oxide; magnetic resonance imaging; contrast agent; Medicine; Medicin;

   Abstract : There is an increasing interest for nanomaterials in biomedical applications and in this work, nanoparticles of gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) have been investigated as a novel contrast agent for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Relaxation properties have been studied in aqueous solutions as well as in cell culture medium and the nanoparticles have been explored as cell labeling agents. READ MORE

5. 3. Knowledge-based speech enhancement

   Author : Sriram Srinivasan; Bastiaan Kleijn; Rainer Martin; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; speech enhancement; noise reduction; linear predictive coe±cients; autoregressive; codebooks; maximum-likelihood; Bayesian; nonstationary noise; blind source separation.; Telecommunication; Telekommunikation;

   Abstract : Speech is a fundamental means of human communication. In the last several decades, much effort has been devoted to the efficient transmission and storage of speech signals. With advances in technology making mobile communication ubiquitous, communications anywhere has become a reality. READ MORE

6. 4. The Visible and the Invisible : Color Contrast Phenomena in Space

   Author : Gertrud Olsson; Jadwiga Krupinska; Henrik Oxvig; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; color in architecture; color theory; color phenomena; simultaneous contrast; simultané; afterimage; transparency; material and immaterial; color mixture; light-colors; Art; Konstvetenskap; Architecture; Arkitektur;

   Abstract : This study deals with the changes in color that arise in space, primarily simultaneous contrast in three dimensions. The typical account of simultaneous contrast is that the contrast phenomenon occurs between two or more color surfaces seen together, thus affecting one another. READ MORE

7. 5. X-ray Phase Contrast Tomography : Setup and Scintillator Development

   Author : Hanna Dierks; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; x-rays; x-ray imaging; x-ray microscopy; X-ray detectors; perovskites; laboratory setups; phase contrast; μCT; scintillator; Phase contrast PC ; Tomography x-ray computed ;

   Abstract : X-ray microscopy and micro-tomography (μCT) are valuable non-destructive examination methods in many disciplines such as bio-medical research, archaeometry, material science and paleontology. Besides being implemented at synchrotrons radiation sources, laboratory setups using an X-ray tube and high-resolution scintillation detector routinely provide information on the micrometre scale.
