Open-loop narrowband magnetic particle imaging based on mixed-frequency harmonic magnetization response by Hongli Yu, Ping Huang, Xiting Peng, Zheyan Wang, Zhichuan Qiu, Kewen Li, Tianshu Li, Zhiyao Liu, Hao Cui, Shi Bai

“…The third harmonic signal is detected by a Gradiometer coil with high signal-to-noise ratio, and the voltage cloud image is formed.ResultThe experimental results show that the external noise caused by the excitation coil can be effectively reduced from 12 to about 1.5 μV in the imaging area of 30 mm × 30 mm, which improves the stability of the detection signal of the Gradiometer coil, realizes the detection of high SNR, and makes the detection sensitivity reach 10 μg Fe. By mixing excitation, the total intensity of the excitation field is reduced, resulting in a slight improvement of the resolution under the same gradient field, and the spatial resolution of the image reconstruction is increased from 2 mm under the single frequency excitation (20.7 kHz) in the previous experiment to 1.5 mm under the mixed excitation (8.664 kHz).ConclusionsThese experimental results highlight the effectiveness of the proposed open-loop narrowband MPI technique in improving signal detection sensitivity, achieving high signal-to-noise ratio detection and improving the quality of reconstructed images by changing the excitation magnetic field frequency of the excitation coil, providing novel design ideas and technical pathways for future MPI systems.…”

Analysis of the Efficiency of Hydrogen Production Technology at Mini-CHP Plants Using Local Fuelsby Thermochemical Method by V. A. Sednin, R. S. Ignatovich

“…For comparison, the maximum fuel utilization of a steam-powered mini-CHP of the same electrical capacity reaches 90.9 %. The expansion of mini-CHP options operating on local fuels by introducing a hydrogen production unit by hybrid thermochemical method into its scheme makes it possible to increase the maneuverability of the station, which implies the possibility of organizing the operation of mini-CHP in accordance with the requirements of thermal consumers and electrical graph-reducing the loads of the power system during the hours of maxima and minima of its consumption by changing the electrical power supply to the network or increasing the power consumption of electricity from the external network to the power required for hydrogen production. …”

Modelling the supply and need for health professionals for primary health care in Ghana: Implications for health professions education and employment planning. by James Avoka Asamani, Christmal Dela Christmals, Gerda Marie Reitsma

“…<h4>Results</h4>The projections show that based on the population (size and demographics), disease burden, the package of health services and the professional standards for delivering those services, Ghana needed about 221,593 health professionals across eleven categories in primary health care in 2020. At a rate of change between 3.2% and 10.7% (average: 5.5%) per annum, the aggregate need for health professionals is likely to reach 495,273 by 2035. …”
