Article Abstract
A methodology for determining the optimal voxel size for phase thresholding in nanostructured materials was developed using an atom simulator and a model system of a fixed two-phase composition and volume fraction. The voxel size range was banded by the atom count within each voxel. Some voxel edge lengths were found to be too large, resulting in an averaging of compositional fluctuations; others were too small with concomitant decreases in the signal-to-noise ratio for phase identification. The simulated methodology was then applied to the more complex experimentally determined data set collected from a (Co(0.95)Fe(0.05))(88)Zr(6)Hf(1)B(4)Cu(1) two-phase nanocomposite alloy to validate the approach. In this alloy, Zr and Hf segregated to an intergranular amorphous phase while Fe preferentially segregated to a crystalline phase during the isothermal annealing step that promoted primary crystallization. The atom probe data analysis of the volume fraction was compared to transmission electron microscopy (TEM) dark-field imaging analysis and a lever rule analysis of the volume fraction within the amorphous and crystalline phases of the ribbon.

Voxel Volume Overlap: Voxel-Size Sensitive Indicators of Subject Motion in Functional MRI.

Subject motion is a significant problem for the analysis of functional MRI data and is usually described by "total displacement" or "scan-to-scan displacement". Neither parameter, however, takes into account voxel size, which clearly is relevant for the actual effects of motion on the data. Consequently, it is hitherto impossible to compare motion between subjects/studies acquired using different voxel dimensions, precluding the development of generally applicable recommendations for fMRI quality control procedures.

Background: This study investigates the impact of voxel size on dose calculations for the FlexiSource iridium-192 (Ir) high-dose-rate brachytherapy source using the TOol for PArticle Simulation (TOPAS) Monte Carlo code. It aims to establish a new dataset for future research by determining TG-43 parameters.
Materials And Methods: TG-43 parameters (radial function and anisotropy function) were calculated using 0.
Neural representations of visual statistical learning based on temporal duration.

Time perception is an essential aspect of daily life, and transitional probabilities can be learned based on temporal durations that are independent of individual objects. Previous studies on temporal and spatial visual statistical learning (VSL) have shown that the hippocampus and lateral occipital cortex are engaged in learning visual regularities. However, it remains unclear whether VSL on temporal duration unlinked to object identity is represented in brain regions involved in VSL and object recognition or in those involved in time perception without sensory cortex involvement.

Introduction: Exergame-based training is emerging as the most effective exercise modality for improving cognition, yet its neural correlates remain largely unexplored. This study explored gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) changes following the addition of ‘Brain-IT’ training to usual care in mild neurocognitive disorder (mNCD) and their associations with cognitive performance changes.
Methods: We included 41 participants with mNCD, randomized to either the intervention (‘Brain-IT’ training + usual care) or the control (usual care only) group.

Introduction: Accurate characterization of multi-size fractures in coal is crucial for estimating its transport properties. However, the extraction of narrow microfractures in 3D voxel-type CT images is difficult, which causes the loss of connectivity in the extracted fracture network and reduces the accuracy of the predicted transport properties.
Objectives: Improving the image quality and optimizing the segmentation process to deal with the inaccuracy of fracture extraction from coal CT images.
