The timing of T&M (before vs after shimming) turned out to be critically important sufficient time is required to achieve full-temperature equilibrium relative to thermal gradients in the air inside the probe and the sample. Achievable accuracy across different NMR solvents varies with differences in thermal conductivity and leads to 2% or greater…[Read more]

We illustrate the proposed approach with hypothetical examples, and use simulation to compare the operating characteristics of trials analysed using our Bayesian model with several alternatives. Numerical results show that the proposed approach yields robust inferences, even when data from multiple sources are inconsistent and/or the bridging…[Read more]

In addition, our method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in abdominal organ segmentation. In conclusion, the approach provides a memory-conservative framework to enable 3D segmentation on high-resolution CT. The approach is compatible with many base network structures, without substantially increasing the complexity during inference.…[Read more]

We explore the origins of the extraordinary plant diversity in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) using Orchidinae (Orchidaceae) as a model. Our results indicate that six major clades in Orchidinae exhibited substantial variation in the temporal and spatial sequence of diversification. Our time-calibrated phylogenetic model suggests that the…[Read more]
