Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA HIGH B1 FIELD HOMOGENEITY GENERATION USING FREE ELEMENT ELLIPTICAL FOUR-COIL SYSTEMSidi M. Ahmed Ghaly, Sulaiman S. Al-SowayanDesign and testing of a prototype probe with high B1 magnetic field homogeneity that can be used for MRI is presented. It consists of four coaxial separately tuned rings of wire in a symmetric arrangement on an ellipsoidal surface. Compared to Helmholtz pair, which presents 2nd-order homogeneity, an improvement in field homogeneity is achieved, while preserving the simplicity of implementation. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 28 Jan 2014 · 7,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Sequence Based Validation of Gene Expression Microarray DataGerhard G. Thallinger, Eva Obermayr, Pornpimol Charoentong et al.Problem statement: Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is often used to validate microarray data. Previous studies show different levels of correlation, without further investigation of influencing factors. Approach: We compared expression levels of 381 genes obtained from microarray hybridizations and from TaqMan based RT-qPCR assays. Correlation of expression levels was determined by comparing: (i) single genes across samples, (ii) all … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2012 · 13,722 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWellbore Surveying While Drilling Based on Kalman FilteringMahmoud ElGizawy, Aboelmagd Noureldin, Jacques Georgy et al.Problem statement: Oil and gas are global fuels obtained primarily from drilling wells in underground terrestrial reservoirs. Vertical drilling is preferred because of its simplicity and therefore low cost, but subsurface targets can often be procured only by directing the wellbore along predefined non-vertical trajectories. For instance, directional drilling must be employed to reach locations inaccessible to the drilling rig, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWireless Phones Electromagnetic Field Radiation Exposure AssessmentA. D. Usman, W.F. Wan Ahmad, M.Z.A. Ab Kadir, M. MokhtarProblem statement: Inadequate knowledge of electromagnetic field emitted by mobile phones and increased usage at close proximity, created a lot of skepticism and speculations among end users on its safety or otherwise. Approach: In this study, near field electromagnetic field radiation measurements were conducted on different brand of mobile phones in active mode using a tri-axis isotropic probe and electric … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,726 accessesView PDFCite
