The paper considers some articulatory features of allophones of the vowel /i/ in the Altai-Kizhi dialect (spoken in the locality Ust-Kan, Altai) of the Altai language visualized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The Altai-Kizhi is the central basic dialect of the Altai literary language. In Altai, each rural locality represents a unique dialect, whose relevance of studying was emphasized by V. V. Radlov. Speech sounds of the /i/-type in the dialects of the Altai language are realized mainly as front variants with different degrees of openness. In the written Altai speech, the symbol “и” is used to denote narrow front non-labialized vowel; some variants of the Altai vowel /i/ are central-back differing in this from the Russian vowel /i/. Experimental data on the territorial dialects of the Altai-Kizhi dialect, obtained from its 6 native speakers (d1-d6) taking into account variable inherent palate height, shows both the common articulation bases of native speakers (clearly-expressed frontness) and their differences (variable openness).

ABSTRACT Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often modality of choice to evaluate the sports related injuries involving knee joint. It is important for the clinicians to identify the common injuries pattern seen on MRI for quick management. How to cite this article Prakash M, Sinha A, Dhillon M, Khandelwal N.

AbstractArticular cartilage of the knee can be evaluated with high accuracy by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in preoperative patients with knee pain, but image quality and reporting are variable. This article discusses the normal MRI appearance of articular cartilage as well as the common MRI abnormalities of knee cartilage that may be considered for operative treatment. This article focuses on a practical approach to preoperative MRI of knee articular cartilage using routine MRI techniques. Current and future directions of knee MRI related to articular cartilage are also discussed.

The value of the conventional medical imaging applications of Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to areas such as medical diagnosis and surgical planning are widely documented; however, less conventional uses also exist for such technology. This paper documents an example of the diverse, interdiscipl inary value of neuroradiological techniques such as CT and MRI. An assumption has been made, in the absence of data for dolphins, that the uniquely high relative neocortex volume in primates is responsible for setting them apart from all other orders of mammals, in terms of social intelligence. An investigation of dolphin brain structure was undertaken to verify or dismiss this assertion using three species ofdiffering social structure: sol itary humpback (Sousachinensis), social bottlenose (Tursiops truncatus) and gregarious common (Delphinus delphis) dolphins. CT provided good quality images for calculation of cranial volume but only permitted gross imaging of the supra- and infratentorial regions. MRI provided greater differentiation of the different brain regions, therebya"owing volumetric measurements of the neocortical region for all subjects. There was no significant difference in neocortex calculations from fresh and frozen material, suggesting that this technique may be used on rare specimens which are frozen before examination by biologists. Correlation of neocortical development with group size was significant (pO.OOl ).
