Indium-tin oxide films are deposited by low plasma temperature RF sputtering on highly flexible modification of glycol polyethyleneterephtalate substrates. The produced layers are characterized with transparency over 82 % and sheet resistance of 86.9 Ω/square. The film’s conductivity was further improved by additional UV illumination from light source (365 nm), having power of 250 W. The influe...

Four children with severe diabetic ketosis were successfully treated with a regimen of low-dose intermittent insulin infusions in the rehydrating fluid. The children all rapidly regained consciousness and tolerated oral fluids within 12 hours of admission. Hypoglycaemia and hypokalaemia, both complications of conventional large dose insulin treatment, did not occur. Plasma insulin levels obtain...

OBJECTIVES Linear accelerators operating at or above 10 MV produce neutrons by photonuclear reactions and induce activation in machine components, which are a source of potential exposure for radiation therapists. This study estimated gamma dose contributions to radiation therapists during high energy, whole pelvic, photon beam treatments and determined the optimum room entry times, in terms of...

This research was carried out to determine the intraocular pressure values, optimum anesthesia dose and phenotypic characteristics in Oscar fish (Astronotus ocellatus). A total of 11 adult, male were used study. Optimum dose, pre-and post-anesthesia values measurements (total length, fork standard dorsal fin base head body eye diameter, depth, pectoral pelvic bottom anal length) determined refe...

Introduction: Due to causing methemoglobinemia, different cancers, and teratogen effects in human nitrate contamination of water resources has become a critical environmental problem Therefore, the aim of this work was to determine the optimum condition of nitrate sorption onto magnetic nanoparticle. Materials and Methods: The removal of nitrate from aqueous solutions by magnetic nanoparticles...

introduction in order to treat uveal melanoma , first, radioactive seeds are laid on a silicone- made substance which is called silastic after that they are inserted in the plaque, and finally, this plaque containing silicone-made substance is stitched to the sclera surface. the dose gradient within the tumor and healthy tissues can be varied due to changing the silastic thickness between scler...

Introduction: The use of BMP-2 plays an important role in the treatment of extensive bone defect. However, data about the optimal dosage of BMP-2 in the massive bone defect cases is rare. Material and Method: Twenty-five SD rats were randomly divided into a control group ofhydroxyapatite (HA) alone (Group I), HA+BMP-2 1µg/mL (Group II), HA+BMP-2 5 ug/mL (Group III), HA+BMP-2 10 µg/mL (Gro...

      The present study was carried out to determine the hypoglycemic activity of the methanolic extract and solvent fractions (n-hexane and ethyl acetate) of Ruellia tuberosa in normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits. Optimum dose of R. tuberosa for hypoglycemic activity was determined by oral administration of the methanolic extract (ME) to normal and diabetic ...

Atomic-resolution low-dose imaging for beam-sensitive materials is one of the most challenging topics in electron microscopy research. In this study, we theoretically developed a new scanning transmission (STEM) technique by maximizing signal-to-noise ratio an obtainable image under weak phase object approximation (WPOA), which will call optimum bright-field (OBF) imaging. OBF images are obtain...

BACKGROUND A knowledge based planning tool has been developed and implemented for prostate VMAT radiotherapy plans providing a target average rectum dose value based on previously achievable values for similar rectum/PTV overlap. The purpose of this planning tool is to highlight sub-optimal clinical plans and to improve plan quality and consistency. METHODS A historical cohort of 97 VMAT pros...
