Integrated flexible parylene-based inductors were successfully designed, fabricated and analyzed. Using parylene as the substrate, the inductors have good flexibility and biocompatibility. With the Ni80Fe20 core, the inductance was enhanced by 235% maximally and the quality factor was also improved significantly. The square spiral inductor showed the inductance of 800nH at 55MHz. The coil coupl...

SPECT detects γ-rays from administered radiopharmaceutical within the patient body. γ-rays pass through different tissues before reaching detectors and are attenuated. Attenuation can cause artifacts; therefore different methods are used to minimize attenuation effects. In our study efficacy of Chang method was evaluated for attenuation purpose, using a custom made heart phantom. Due to d...

Completely separated sulfur isotope signature frequency distributions for sedimentary sulfide and coexisting inorganic sulfate proved the field scale hydrochemical dominance of bacterial sulfate reduction and thus a strong overall natural attenuation potential of the aquifer section. Consequently, a significant improvement of the water quality and an eventually complete attenuation of the acid ...

The mechanical properties of any substance are essential facts to understand its behaviour and make the maximum use of the particular substance. Rocks are indeed an important substance, as they are of significant use in the energy industry, specifically for fossil fuels and geothermal energy. Attenuation of seismic waves is a non-destructive technique to investigate mechanical properties of res...

It has been proved that ultrasonic energy can considerably increase the amount of oil recovery in an immiscible displacement process. Although many studies have been performed on investigating the roles of ultrasonic waves, based on the best of our knowledge, little attention has been paid to evaluate wave attenuation parameter, which is an important parameter in the determination of the energy...

Introduction: Metallic artifacts due to pacemaker/ implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) leads in CT images can produce artifactual uptake in cardiac SPECT/CT images. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the metallic artifacts due to pacemaker and ICD leads on myocardial SPECT/CT imaging. Methods: The study included 9 patients wh...

The present article aims to investigate and evaluate the performances of DWDM (or Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed) system under MIMO-FSO multiple input output-free space optical) channel. However, proposed is configured simulated in worst-case meteorological conditions, we base here on variation attenuation coefficient. In this article, devoted 90 users, every user exploits 30 Gbps. So, t...
