Abstract

Magnetic susceptibility measurement has wide-ranging applications in MR technical development and medical applications. A general susceptibility quantitation method for objects of arbitrary shapes in inhomogeneous magnetic fields is presented in this study. Based on the mean value properties of magnetic fields, the polarizing magnetic field at the location of interest inside an object can be exactly obtained in situ from the field values on a spherical surface enclosing the object. With numerical computation of the self-demagnetizing field and correction of contact shifts, magnetic susceptibilities were quantitatively measured for CuSO(4) phantoms based on their MR gradient echo phase maps.

Fast oxidation of thioglycosides to glycosyl sulfones using KMnO4/CuSO4*5H2O under neutral reaction conditions.

A rapid oxidation of thioglycosides to glycosyl sulfones has been achieved using a combination of KMnO4 and CuSO4*5H2O in acetonitrile and water. This reaction protocol has many advantages compared to other methods available for this transformation, including compatibility with acid and base labile functional groups used for the protection of carbohydrates, high yields, fast reaction times, and moderate reaction temperatures. The yields obtained were excellent in all cases.

Superposition of borehole-to-surface voltage residuals for Vadose Zone plume delineation.

An injected tracer field experiment was conducted at the University of Idaho Ground Water Field Laboratory to evaluate the application of borehole-to-surface voltage measurements for delineation of the tracer distribution in partially saturated, fractured basalt. A tap water tracer was injected into a fracture-dominated, salt-water plume formed during a previous salt-water injection experiment. The tap water tracer was injected into a central injection well under constant hydraulic head for 34 days. The injection well was surrounded by seven test boreholes. Each borehole contained several copper wire electrodes for borehole-to-surface potential measurements between a surface grid of 224 copper sulfate, porous pot electrodes. Eight pole-pole, borehole-to-surface voltage data sets were acquired during each measurement period by energization of a selected electrode in each of the eight boreholes. Predicted voltages for a uniform earth (homogeneous and isotropic) potential model (finite difference) were subtracted from each data set (for its respective current source location), and the voltage residuals superposed to create new data sets with greater measurement sensitivity and coverage, to aid in interpretation. These data sets were collected over four measurement periods during tap water injection and four measurement periods during the subsequent 64-day drainage phase. The data were interpreted with the use of three-dimensional models and by comparisons with other electrical and hydrological observations. Results indicate that superposition of multiple data sets of voltage residuals significantly improved the lateral resolution of subsurface bulk resistivity changes that occurred over time.
