    Abstract Objectives: Quantitative measurement of plasma free hemoglobin (fHb) concentrations is essential for monitoring pediatric ECMO patients, since hemolysis has a great impact on the patient's clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to validate the hemolysis index (HI) assay on Abbott's Alinity c system as a quantitative method to measure fHb.
    Methods: The performance of the HI assay, based on an automated spectrophotometric method recording the absorption at four different wavelength pairs, was evaluated using the 20 × 2 × 2 design according to the CLSI-EP05-A3 guidelines. LLOQ and LLOD were calculated according to CLSI-EP17 guidelines with CVs set to 10% and 20%, respectively. Furthermore, the method was tested for interferences with bilirubin and Intralipid®.
    Results: Linearity was ensured over an analytical measurement range of 30-7250 mg/L and the calculated LLOQ and LLOD were 80 mg/L and 50 mg/L, respectively. Intra-run and total imprecisions ranged from 0.9-3.4% and 1.0-3.4%, respectively. The HI assay correlated well with the Harboe method (HI (mg/L) = 0.998 * fHb (mg/L) + 28 mg/L, R = 0.998, n = 50) and interference testing showed no impact of bilirubin and Intralipid® up to 709 mg/L and 5580 mg/L, respectively.
    Conclusions: The HI assay on Abbott's Alinity c system allows a precise and accurate determination of fHb concentrations with no significant interferences in a simple, rapid and cost-effective way.

    Abstract This paper proposes a phase modulation method for Lissajous scanning systems, which provides adaptive scan pattern design without changing the frame rate or the field of view. Based on a rigorous analysis of Lissajous scanning, phase modulation constrains and a method for pixel calculation are derived. An accurate and simple metric for resolution calculation is proposed based on the area spanned by neighboring pixels and used for scan pattern optimization also considering the scanner dynamics. The methods are implemented using MEMS mirrors for verification of the adaptive pattern shaping, where a 5-fold resolution improvement in a defined region of interest is demonstrated.

    Abstract Purpose: To explore the use of conductive elastomer for MR signal detection and the utility of this approach for wearable detector arrays.
    Methods: An elastomer filled with silver microparticles was used to form stretchable radiofrequency coils for MR detection. Their electrical performance in terms of the Q
    Results: The elastomer coils proved highly stretchable and mechanically robust. Upon repeated stretching by 20%, a medium-sized coil element settled at Q
    Conclusion: Conductive elastomer is a viable material for MR detection. Coils made from this material reconcile high stretchability and adequate electrical performance with ease of manufacturing. Conductive elastomer also offers inherent restoring forces and is readily washable and sanitizable, making it an excellent basis of wearable detector front ends.

    Abstract Purpose: Noise-optimal reconstruction of array transmitter calibrations would ideally require knowledge of the receive array sensitivities which can often only be measured once the transmitter is calibrated to provide sufficient coverage. This poses often a problem in bootstrapping transmit-receive arrays particularly at ultrahigh fields.
    Methods: Said problem is resolved by formulating the local transmit-receive efficiency of the array setup as a bilinear form and deriving therefrom a noise-optimal, joint reconstruction of the calibration data resulting in the relative sensitivities of the used transmitters and receivers.
    Results: Retrieval and reconstruction of parallel transmission calibration data in phantoms and in vivo are presented using an eight-channel parallel transmit setup with up to 16 receivers using strip-line TR arrays and parallel transmission by traveling waves.
    Conclusion: Data sets from calibration scans are reconstructed robustly and with optimal signal-to-noise ratio. The found array signal gain is furthermore a direct performance measure for array transmitter and receiver combinations. The concomitantly obtained image was shown to have maximum coverage of the subject. Magn Reson Med 76:1730-1740, 2016. © 2016 International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.

    Abstract 'To increase the number of inhabitants' is a commonly stated top objective in municipal strategies across European countries. Not differently in Austria, local policy follows a logic of growth as financial tax and redistribution systems reward according to population figures; but is demographic growth necessarily financially beneficial for a municipality, irrespective of the type of land use changes, and potentially urban sprawl, that it triggers? The Federal State of Lower Austria offers to its municipalities a strategic online planning tool to pre-assess eventual municipal infrastructural costs and tax revenues that would come with certain population increase. This study tests the Lower Austrian

    Abstract Large bone defects after trauma demand for adequate bone substitutes. Bone void fillers should be antibacterial and pro-angiogenic. One viable option is the use of composite materials like the combination of PLGA and amorphous calcium phosphate (aCaP). Copper stimulates angiogenesis and has antibacterial qualities. Either copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) were therefore added to PLGA/aCaP/CuO in different concentrations (1, 5 and 10 w/w %) or copper-doped tricalcium phosphate NPs (TCP with 2% of copper) were electrospun into PLGA/CuTCP nanocomposites. Bi-layered nanocomposites of PLGA/aCaP with different copper NPs (CuO or TCP) and a second layer of pristine PLGA were fabricated. Two clinical bacterial isolates (

Hence, depiction of myelin is desired for both research and diagnosis.

    Abstract This article introduces a bistatic joint radar-communication (RadCom) system based on orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). In this context, the adopted OFDM frame structure is described and system model encompassing time, frequency, and sampling synchronization mismatches between the transmitter and receiver of the bistatic system is outlined. Next, the signal processing approaches for synchronization and communication are discussed, and radar sensing processing approaches using either only pilots or a reconstructed OFDM frame based on the estimated receive communication data are presented. Finally, proof-of-concept measurement results are presented to validate the investigated system and a trade-off between frame size and the performance of the aforementioned processing steps is observed.
