	Magnetic Resonance TIP - MRI Database : Gradient
		The echo is produced by reversing the direction of a magnetic field gradient or by applying balanced pulses of magnetic field gradient before and after a refocusing RF pulse so as to cancel out the position dependent phase shifts that have accumulated due to the gradient.
		In the latter case, the gradient echo is generally adjusted to be coincident with the RF spin echo.
		Gradient echo does not refocus the effects of main field inhomogeneity and therefore is generally used with a short echo time.

		Instead, Gradient is the creation of two former tenured college professors, Carr Bettis and Donn Vickrey, who say they have created software that dispassionately sifts through the stock market's white noise to reveal when companies are not as financially healthy as they appear.
		Gradient's roots go back to 1992 when Bettis, a Ph.D. in business and a professor at Arizona State University, and Vickrey, a Ph.D. in accounting and a professor at the University of San Diego, were introduced through Vickrey's father, a professor at Arizona State.
		In Gradient's early days, customers, as part of the annual subscription fee for access to all reports, could request additional research on a company that was already covered.

	Sucrose gradient centrifugation Summary
		Density gradient centrifugation is a technique that allows the separation of cells, organelles and macromolecules, depending on their size, shape and density.
		When mixtures of cellular extracts are layered on top of a density gradient in a tube and subjected to centrifugation, the various components move through the gradient at different rates that are dependant on their sizes and shapes.
		For example, a sucrose gradient may consist of layers extending from 70% sucrose to 20% sucrose in 10% increments (though this is highly variable depending on sample to be purified).

	Gradient: Kalid's Page
		The gradient (often abbreviated to grad) is simply a fancy word for derivative (which is a fancy enough word already).
		The word gradient is also used to indicate a gradual change (you've probably seen it in Photoshop or the like) but here we are sticking to the math definition.
		You must find where the gradient is zero, and test those points to see which one is the absolute max (both will be local maximums).

	Gradient
		A gradient may be drawn in four different directions - either horizontally, vertically, from the top left to the bottom right corner, or the bottom left to the top right corner.
		However in some cases it may be necessary to initialise a gradient to a non-graphical container, in which case the Drawable field must be manually set to a valid Render object reference.
		This means that the height of the gradient is dynamically calculated in relation to the height of the container.

	Gradient Wind: non-geostrophic winds which blow parallel to isobars
		The pressure gradient and Coriolis forces are present, but when the isobars are curved, there is a third force -- the centrifugal force.
		This is where the gradient wind differs from the geostrophic winds.
		This means that in a high pressure system or ridge, the gradient wind blows parallel to the isobars faster than geostrophic (supergeostrophic) speed.

	Gradient flow
		The gradient wind equation is a representation of the entire n equation of motion.
		The gradient wind is very much like the geostrophic wind, in that it is a frictionless wind which allows for flow that is parallel to the height contours.
		The one difference between the geostrophic wind and the gradient wind is that the gradient wind includes the centrifugal force, thereby allowing curvature in the flow field.

	Gradient
		The gradient is a vector operation which operates on a scalar function to produce a vector whose magnitude is the maximum rate of change of the function at the point of the gradient and which is pointed in the direction of that maximum rate of change.
		If S is a surface of constant value for the function f(x,y,z) then the gradient on the surface defines a vector which is normal to the surface.
		The divergence of the gradient is called the LaPlacian.

	Gradients and Patterns - SVG 1.1 - 20030114
		Gradients consist of continuously smooth color transitions along a vector from one color to another, possibly followed by additional transitions along the same vector to other colors.
		gradientTransform is the identity matrix, the stripes of the linear gradient are perpendicular to the gradient vector in object bounding box space (i.e., the abstract coordinate system where (0,0) is at the top/left of the object bounding box and (1,1) is at the bottom/right of the object bounding box).
		If a given gradient stop's offset value is not equal to or greater than all previous offset values, then the offset value is adjusted to be equal to the largest of all previous offset values.

		Electrochemical gradients are analogous to hydroelectric dams and equivalent to the water pressure across the dam.
		Membrane transport proteins such as the sodium-potassium pump within the membrane are equivalent to turbines that convert the waters potential energy to other forms of physical or chemical energy, and the ions that pass through the membrane are equivalent to water that is now found at the bottom of the dam.
		Some archaea, most notably halobacteria, make proton gradients by pumping in protons from the environment with the help of the solar driven enzyme bacteriorhodopsin, here it is used for driving the molecular motor enzyme ATP synthase to make the necessary conformational changes required to synthesize ATP.

	Gradient Fields
		The coil used to measure planar magnetization integrates the contribution to the magnetization of all the nuclei in the neighborhood of the coil.
		The loss of memory of the phase change from a gradient pulse can be fine-tuned by variations in the delay between the two pulses in a gradient echo sequence.
		If the gradient pulse is not reversed and the memory of the phase changes is lost, then the pulse's effect can be described as an irreversible operation on the state of the nuclear spin.

	Tutorial - How to Design a Gradient Background in Photoshop
		A gradient background has to be provided in an image format and the color on one end of the image is darker than on the other end which means you cannot allow the image to repeat to the right or the page will repeat the dark edge on the right side.
		So, in order to use a gradient background you have to design your page to be used at only one resolution and you may want to state this on the web page.
		Make sure your "gradient tool options" box is open and,if not, select "window/show options" or double click on the gradient tool (this may be slightly different on your version of Photoshop but there should be a box with graduated colors in it now.

	MRI 3 Axis Gradient Coils
		eddies are induced in the magnet radiation shields primarily from minute variations in coil diameters along the axis or from axial registration errors between the gradient and shield coils.
		Our use of alumina ceramic for both the gradient and shield formers allows higher precision to be maintained, and low-amplitude eddy current to be minimal.
		There is a strong benefit from gradient coil construction with an alumina ceramic coilform and multilayer windings.

		There is no restriction on the complexity of the object you can fill with a gradient, but it is usually easier to understand how the color is working when you are working with a simple shape.
		The gradient preview is rough sample of the color distribution, but gradients are not easy to predict, especially when you are filling irregular objects.
		With the Gradient tool, you can specify which area of the object will be filled with the gradient, and can also start the gradient from outside the object, and can set the angle by eye, which is usually more efficient.
