https://www.selleckchem.com/products/cerivastatin-sodium.html We report electron-beam activated motion of a catalytic nanoparticle along a graphene step edge and associated etching of the edge. The catalytic hydrogenation process was observed to be activated by a combination of elevated temperature and electron beam irradiation. Reduction of beam fluence on the particle was sufficient to stop the process, leading to the ability to switch on and off the etching. Such an approach enables the targeting of individual nanoparticles to induce motion and beam-controlled etching of matter through activated electrocatalytic processes. The applications of electron-beam control as a paradigm for molecular-scale robotics are discussed. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.Measurement of the blood T1 time using conventional myocardial T1 mapping methods has gained clinical significance in the context of extracellular volume (ECV) mapping and synthetic hematocrit (Hct). However, its accuracy is potentially compromised by in-flow of non-inverted/non-saturated spins and in-flow of spins which are not partially saturated from previous imaging pulses. Bloch simulations were used to analyze various flow effects separately. T1 measurements of gadolinium doped water were performed using a flow phantom with adjustable flow velocities at 3T. Additionally, in vivo blood T1 measurements were performed in 6 healthy subjects. To study the T1 time as a function of the instantaneous flow velocity, T1 times were evaluated in an axial imaging slice of the descending aorta. Simulation results show more than 30% loss in accuracy for 10% non-prepared in-flowing spins. However, in- and out-flow to the imaging plane only demonstrated minor impact on the T1 time. Phantom T1 times were decreased by up to 200 ms in the flow phantom, due to in-flow of non-prepared spins. High flow velocities cause in-flow of spins that lack partial saturation from the imaging pulses but only lead to negligible T1 time deviation (les
