Intersubject local SAR variation for 7T prostate MR imaging with an eight-channel single-side adapted dipole antenna array

Özlem Ipek

PURPOSE: Surface transmit arrays used in ultra-high field body MRI require local specific absorption rate (SAR) assessment. As local SAR cannot be measured directly, local SAR is determined by simulations using dielectric patient models. In this study, the ...

Locating leak detecting sensors in a water distribution network by solving prize-collecting Steiner arborescence problems

Thomas Liebling

We consider the problem of optimizing a novel acoustic leakage detection system for urban water distribution networks. The system is composed of a number of detectors and transponders to be placed in a choice of hydrants such as to provide a desired covera ...
