An example transistor arrangement includes a channel material shaped as a nanoribbon, and a gate stack wrapping around at least a portion of a first face of the nanoribbon, a sidewall, and a portion of a second face of the nanoribbon.

The shear testing system can be used in conjunction with an axial pressure application device to simplify the structure, save costs, and facilitate a triaxial confining pressure—temperature—axial pressure—torsional shear coupled test on a rock specimen.

Third, the shear testing system can apply a triaxial confining pressure and a temperature field to the rock specimen.

Abstract: Magnetic resonance images with improved image quality consistent with those obtained using parallel radio frequency (“RF”) transmission (“pTx”) techniques are generated from data acquired using single transmission hardware (e.g., single channel RF transmission).

The pTx-like images have reduced signal variations and dropouts that may otherwise be attributable to B1+ inhomogeneities.
