Quantitative STEM: Experimental Methods and Applications

Microdosimetry: experimental methods and medical applications

Introduction: Microdosimetry is a fundamental method that studies the nature of energy transfer in micron volumes in the particular biological cells. In a biological target, the amount of ionization does not indicate the magnitude of biological radiation-induced damage. However, the severity of biological harm depends strongly on the amount of the linear energy transfer along t...

Methods and Applications of Quantitative Linguistics

Preface The contributions to this volume are selected and peer-reviewed papers on the basis of talks which were delivered on the QUALICO 2012 was, as usual, open to original papers without any limitations as to thematic or methodological aspects. Therefore, a large variety of topics has been addressed and numerous fields of linguistics and related fields have been touched. A number of contribut...

Sequential Methods and Their Applications

Progress in Applications of Quantitative STEM

High-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is highly sensitive to the type and number of atoms in the atomic columns of a sample. Image contrast in HAADF-STEM agrees quantitatively with image simulations [1]. An important complementary method in STEM is position averaged convergent beam electron diffraction (PACBED), which is highly sensitive to infor...

Genetically modified mice- Methods, applications and outlook

Background & Aim: Transgenic mice, of tengenerated by random integration of foreign genes into the mouse genome or by targeted mutation in a particular gene, have demonstrated to be a very effective tool for studying gene function in living things. In this review article, we discussed on the current methods of generating genetically-modified mice and their related problems and then investigated...
