Ordered porous materials for emerging applications

TL;DR: The past decade has seen significant advances in the ability to fabricate new porous solids with ordered structures from a wide range of different materials, which has resulted in materials with unusual properties and broadened their application range beyond the traditional use as catalysts and adsorbents.

Comparison of magnetic properties of MRI contrast media solutions at different magnetic field strengths.

TL;DR: Awareness of the field strength and solvent associated with relaxivity data is crucial for the comparison and evaluation of relaxivity values and should be replaced by relaxivities measured at 1.5 T and at 3 T in plasma at physiological temperature.

Perfusion imaging with NMR contrast agents

TL;DR: The use of MR contrast agents to measure tissue perfusion is reviewed, and the potential of contrast‐enhanced NMR for high resolution in vivo mapping of both physiology and anatomy is suggested.

Effective core potential methods for the lanthanides

TL;DR: In this paper, a complete set of effective core potentials (ECPs) and valence basis sets for the lanthanides (Ce to Lu) are derived, and the results of atomic calculations indicate that the greatest error vs highly accurate numerical potential/large, eventempered basis set calculations results from replacement of the large, even-tempered base sets with more compact representations.

Computed tomography of the body

TL;DR: This research presents a novel approach called “computed tomography of the body” (C tomography) that combines X-ray diffraction and Evans-Bouchut tomography for simple and efficient characterization of the structure of the human body.
