The magic angle artifact refers to the increased signal observed when MRI sequences with short echo time (TE) (e.g., T 1 or proton density spin-echo sequences) are used to image tissues with well-ordered collagen fibers in one direction (e.g., tendon or articular hyaline cartilage). [1] This artifact occurs when the angle such fibers make with ...
mass attenuation coefficient, also called mass extinction coefficient, is the attenuation coefficient divided by density; see mass attenuation coefficient for details; absorption cross section and scattering cross section are both quantitatively related to the attenuation coefficient; see absorption cross section and scattering cross section ...
The acoustic reflex (also known as the stapedius reflex, [1] stapedial reflex, [2] auditory reflex, [3] middle-ear-muscle reflex (MEM reflex, MEMR), [4] attenuation reflex, [5] cochleostapedial reflex [6] or intra-aural reflex [6]) is an involuntary muscle contraction that occurs in the middle ear in response to loud sound stimuli or when the person starts to vocalize.
In engineering, attenuation is usually measured in units of decibels per unit length of medium (dB/cm, dB/km, etc.) and is represented by the attenuation coefficient of the medium in question. [1] Attenuation also occurs in earthquakes; when the seismic waves move farther away from the hypocenter, they grow smaller as they are attenuated by the ...
The "ceiling effect" is one type of scale attenuation effect; [1] the other scale attenuation effect is the "floor effect".The ceiling effect is observed when an independent variable no longer has an effect on a dependent variable, or the level above which variance in an independent variable is no longer measurable.

Two new studies suggest once again the importance of getting a good night's sleep for good health over a lifetime, as scientists pursue new understandings of restorative deep sleep.
A graph of amplitude vs frequency (not time) for a single sinusoid at frequency 0.6 f s and some of its aliases at 0.4 f s, 1.4 f s, and 1.6 f s would look like the 4 black dots in Fig.3. The red lines depict the paths ( loci ) of the 4 dots if we were to adjust the frequency and amplitude of the sinusoid along the solid red segment (between f ...
A recent park visitor to Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico dropped a bag full of Cheetos that created a “huge impact” on the cave’s ecosystem, rangers said.
