Given a passage classify if the passage has a definite objective/aim/goal or not. Output '1' if the passage has a defininte objective/aim/goal and output '0' if the passage does not have a definite objective/aim/goal.

[Q]: MRI of tissues with rapid transverse relaxation can be performed efficiently using the zero echo time (ZTE) technique. At high bandwidths leading to large relative initial radiofrequency (RF) dead times, the method becomes increasingly sensitive to artifacts related to signal stemming from outside the field of view, particularly from the RF coils. Therefore, in this work, a birdcage coil was designed that is virtually free of 1H signal.', 'A transmit-receive birdcage RF coil for MRI of joints at 7T was designed by rigorously avoiding materials containing 1H nuclei, by using purely mechanical connections without glue, and by spoiling of unwanted signal by application of ferromagnetic materials. The coil was tested for residual 1H signal using ZTE phantom and in vivo joint imaging.', 'In standard ZTE imaging, no 1H signal was detected above noise level. Only at extreme averaging, residual signal was observed close to conductors associated with 1H-containing molecules at adjacent glass surfaces. Phantom images with dead times up to 3.8 Nyquist dwells were obtained with only negligible background artifacts. Furthermore, high-quality ZTE images of human joints were acquired.

[Q]: Imitation, which is impaired in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and critically depends on the integration of visual input with motor output, likely impacts both motor and social skill acquisition in children with ASD; however, it is unclear what brain mechanisms contribute to this impairment. Children with ASD also exhibit what appears to be an ASD-specific bias against using visual feedback during motor learning. Does the temporal congruity of intrinsic activity, or functional connectivity, between motor and visual brain regions contribute to ASD-associated deficits in imitation, motor, and social skills?', 'We acquired resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans from 100 8- to 12-year-old children (50 ASD). Group independent component analysis was used to estimate functional connectivity between visual and motor systems. Brain-behavior relationships were assessed by regressing functional connectivity measures with social deficit severity, imitation, and gesture performance scores.', 'We observed increased intrinsic asynchrony between visual and motor systems in children with ASD and replicated this finding in an independent sample from the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange. Moreover, children with more out-of-sync intrinsic visual-motor activity displayed more severe autistic traits, while children with greater intrinsic visual-motor synchrony were better imitators.

[Q]: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, the regulation of miR-30a during such process has not yet been well understood. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of miR-30a on chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs and explore the underlying mechanisms.', 'MSCs were isolated from rat bone marrow, and their immunophenotypes and multilineage differentiation potentials were identified. MiR-30a mimics or inhibitor were transfected into rat MSCs and SW1353 cells, respectively, and then the effects of miR-30a on chondrogenic differentiation were detected. The predicted target gene Delta-like 4 (DLL4, a ligand of the Notch signaling family) was verified by luciferase reporter assay, quantitative real time PCR and western blot.', "MiR-30a was significantly up-regulated during chondrogenic differentiation of rat MSCs. Additionally, transfection of miR-30a mimics remarkably promoted the differentiation of rat MSCs into chondrocytes as evidence by the notably increased mRNA and protein expression levels of chondrogenic markers Collagen II and aggrecan as well as the enhanced alcian blue staining intensity, whereas inhibition of miR-30a obviously suppressed such process. Furthermore, during chondrogenesis, DLL4 expression was found to significantly decrease at both mRNA and protein levels, which was negatively regulated by miR-30a through directly targeting the 3'UTR of DLL4.
