Article Abstract
Measurement of static magnetic field (B) homogeneity is an essential component of routine MRI system evaluation. This report summarizes the work of AAPM Task Group (TG) 325 on vendor-specific methods of B homogeneity measurement and evaluation. TG 325 was charged with producing a set of detailed, step-by-step instructions to implement B homogeneity measurement methods discussed in the American College of Radiology (ACR) MRI Quality Control Manual using specific makes and models of MRI scanners. The TG produced such instructions for as many approaches as was relevant and practical on six currently available vendor platforms including details of software/tools, settings, phantoms, and other experimental details needed for a reproducible protocol. Because edits to these instructions may need to be made as vendors enter and exit the market and change available tools, interfaces, and access levels over time, the step-by-step instructions are published as a living document on the AAPM website. This summary document provides an introduction to B homogeneity testing in MRI and several of the common methods for its measurement and evaluation. A living document on the AAPM website provides vendor-specific step-by-step instructions for performing these tests to facilitate accurate and reproducible B homogeneity evaluation on a routine basis.

Department of Psychological Science, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Edinburg, TX, USA.
This study used an odd (isolated) item inserted into a homogeneous serial list to investigate process differences between absolute- and relative-order judgments. The serial list consisted of eight names of people ordered in height. These were all male or female names except the fourth name which was of the opposite gender.

We reveal contrasting behaviors in molecular motion between the two materials, including the identification of resonance-enhanced dynamic features in elastomers. We present a depth-resolved analysis of molecular dynamics in semicrystalline polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and fully amorphous fluorinated elastomer (SIFEL) films using static-gradient solid-state F NMR imaging. By measuring spin-lattice relaxation rates ( ) at multiple frequencies and evaluating the corresponding spectral density functions, we reveal distinct dynamic behaviors between the two materials.

Accurately assessing saltiness perception in solid foods is essential for the development of low-sodium foods that maintain saltiness despite possessing a lower sodium content. This study aimed to develop a practical system for evaluating human-perceived saltiness during oral processing, particularly when food was initially placed on the tongue. As a basis for system design, sensory evaluations demonstrated that higher local salt concentrations (inhomogeneous distribution) on the tongue significantly enhanced perceived saltiness intensity compared to a homogeneous distribution, despite equal total salt content.

Introduction: The Covid-19 pandemic has intensified shortages in various pharmaceutical products, notably injectable propofol in lipid emulsion form. Its demand surged sharply due to its critical role in intubating patients with respiratory distress during the pandemic, exposing vulnerabilities in the supply chain for this essential product.
Objectives: This project aims to develop an alternative formulation to commercially available propofol products and to evaluate its stability through a detailed study.
