  • (17) The resolution and homogeneity limitations of echo-planar imaging (EPI) are overcome by zoom imaging of an easily shimmed localized volume.
  • (18) This high failure rate has led the authors to reevaluate the use of prosthetic shims or wedges in large fragment defects but to continue to use bone grafting for smaller, circumscribed defects.
  • (19) A sialidase [EC 3.2.1.18] has been partially purified from human placenta by means of procedures comprising Con A-Sepharose adsorption, ammonium sulfate precipitation, sucrose density gradient centrifugation, and high-pressure liquid chromatography on a Shim pack Diol 300 column.
  • (20) We have developed a pulse sequence which enables fast and accurate measurement of three-dimensional field maps in vivo, and a data analysis package that allows calculation of shim currents to optimally shim arbitrary selected volumes.

Slider


Definition:

  • (a.) See Slidder.
  • (n.) One who, or that which, slides; especially, a sliding part of an instrument or machine.
  • (n.) The red-bellied terrapin (Pseudemys rugosa).
