Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the utility of weighted amide proton transfer (APTw) MRI in three different rodent models of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods: APTw MRI was evaluated in models of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced HCC, N1S1 syngeneic orthotopic xenograft and human HepG2 ectopic xenograft.Results: All models of HCC showe
The fossiliferous Upper Varswater Formation at Langebaanweg (South Africa) produced remains of at least five species of owls (Strigiformes).Tyto richae sp.nov.is the first palaeospecies of Tytonidae described from an African fossil site, though indeterminate remains referable to the genus Tyto are known from the Middle Miocene of Morocco, the early
Integrated thermal protection system (ITPS) is regarded as one of the most promising thermal protection concepts with both thermal Wovens insulation and load-bearing capacities.However, the traditional layout of webs could inevitably lead to thermal short effects and high risk of buckling failure of the ITPS.A topological optimization method for th
The changes of the seabed environment caused by a natural disaster or human activities dramatically affect the life span of the subsea buried cable.It is essential to track the cable route Honey Jars in order to inspect the condition of the buried cable and protect its surviving seabed environment.The magnetic sensor is instrumental in guiding the
