✦ Synopsis
Local field gradients created by paramagnetic entities shorten water proton relaxation times, particularly T 2 . This "novel" relaxation mechanism, now known as susceptibility-induced relaxation, was described twenty years ago by Gueron, and later extended by others to superparamagnetic particles which have a much larger magnetization. Unfortunately, because of subtle but significant errors, those results are valid only in the strict zero-field limit. These errors are corrected in the present article, and new versions of the relaxation equations are presented. The correction is shown to be significant, not only for transverse and longitudinal relaxation in aqueous superparamagnetic colloids, where the "Gueron" effect is known to be important, but even in some cases for transverse paramagnetic relaxation.

## Abstract The Horváth‐Kawazoe (HK) model is a widely used method for determining pore‐size distribution in a microporous material from a single adsorption isotherm. The original model, however, suffers from conceptual flaws. The total interaction energy of the adsorbate is underestimated since th
Approximations where the derivatives are corrected so as to satisfy linear completeness on the derivatives are investigated. These techniques are used in particle methods and other mesh-free methods. The basic approximation is a Shepard interpolant which possesses only constant completeness. The der
This study examined whether the predictive accuracy of agespecific bioelectrical impedance (BIA) equations was improved when estimated fat-free body (FFR,,,) was corrected for the influence of FFB size on whole body resistance (WBR) and residual errors of prediction for 152 women, ages 20-72 years.
