Abstract: The present invention discloses a magnetic resonance fingerprinting imaging method with variable number of echoes, in addition to conventional MRF coding such as changing the excitation pulse angle, the method also introduces the change of the number of echoes, so that quantitative maps of B0, B1+, T1 and T2* can be obtained in a single scan. Further, if the echo time corresponding to the in-phase, opposed-phase and in-phase of water and fat is set for three consecutive echoes, the present invention can also image water and fat, and achieve the accurate quantification of B0, B1+, T1w, T1F, [T2*]w and [T2*]F. Through in vivo experiments and simulations, the effectiveness of the present invention has been proved. Therefore, the present invention can provide multiple information representations for common brain diseases (glioma) and fatty diseases (such as lipoma, fatty liver, etc.), which is conducive to clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a determining device for the weathering resistant capability of clastic rocks in a tunnel based on feldspar features, which overcomes the shortcomings of current evaluation methods, is easy to operate, can be used to detect the type, content, and crystal structure of feldspar in a rock stratum, and integrates the information by combining a computer deep learning method to determine the weathering resistant capability of clastic rocks containing different types of feldspar in a tunnel, with high accuracy.

Abstract: Systems and methods of rendering effects are described herein. A computing device can receive a user selection of an effect to be applied during gameplay of a computer game. The computing device can initiate a framework with which to apply the effect during the gameplay. The computing device can determine scenes during the gameplay to apply the effect through the framework. The computing device can determine graphical elements in the scenes that correspond to non-user interface elements through the framework. The computing system can apply the effect to the graphical elements through the framework.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel use of koumine, an alkaloid monomer from Gelsemium elegans Benth., or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and more particularly to use of koumine or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a battery module. The battery module includes a plurality of secondary batteries stacked along a thickness direction, a top of each secondary battery being provided with an electrode terminal; and a connecting component provided at the top of the secondary battery, the connecting component being connected to at least two electrode terminals for electrically connecting at least two secondary batteries. The connecting component includes a first fixed connecting piece and a second fixed connecting piece, and along an extending direction of the connecting component, the first fixed connecting piece matches and is engaged with the second fixed connecting piece. The present disclosure solves the problem of the unreliable connection between the connecting component and the electrode terminal.

Abstract: A transparent and heat-resistant polycarbonate (PC) composite and a preparation method thereof. The PC composite is a blend of a PC, a polyarylester (PAR) and an organic salt. The preparation method includes: drying the PC and the PAR each under vacuum at 80-120° C. for 24-48 h; adding the dried PC, the dried PAR and the organic salt into a melt blending device at a mass ratio of (60-90):(40-10):(0.3-3), and performing melt blending at 250-300° C. to obtain a mixture; and discharging the mixture from the melt blending device, and cooling to normal temperature to obtain a PC composite.
