In this study, the relationship between cell phone use and sleep quality parameters was evaluated. Materials and Methods The study sample consisted of 820 students (305 males and ...

[ 2 ] - Effective Point of Measurement in Cylindrical Ion Chamber for Megavoltage Photon Beams

Introduction For dose measurement in Megavoltage (MV) photon beams with ion chambers, the effect of volume occupied by the air cavity is not negligible. Therefore, the result of measurement should be corrected with a displacement perturbation correction factor (Pdis) or using an effective point of measurement (EPOM). The aim of this study is to calculate the EPOM for cylindrical ion chamber and...

[ 3 ] - Magnetic Separation of Giardia Cysts from Water

Background: Giardia is one of the infectious agents that can be transmitted by surface water and cause a disease. We designed and fabricated a magnetic system to separate the giardia cysts from water. Materials and Methods: In this study, giardia cysts were concentrated by sucrose floatation method. The cysts were mixed with physiological saline and their concentration was adjusted to 100,000 c...
