Brachytherapy seed therapy is an increasingly common way to treat prostate cancer through localized radiation. The current standard of care relies on transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) for imaging guidance during the seed placement procedure. As visualization of individual metallic seeds tends to be difficult or inaccurate under TRUS guidance, guide needles are generally tracked to infer seed placem...

AIM To evaluate the effect on physical properties of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) of using direct hand compaction during placement and when using hand compaction with indirect ultrasonic activation with different application times. METHODS One hundred acrylic canals were obturated in 3 increments with MTA in sample sizes of 10. One group was obturated by hand with an endodontic plugger an...

The radiograph on this issue’s front cover demonstrates a normal image of the abdomen. It is a favourite of mine and one that I use routinely in teaching undergraduate medical students. Take a good look. You may notice a curvilinear gas density projected within the pelvis. See it? This is what a tampon looks like (figure 1). It’s a subtle finding, but once seen, the radiographic configuration i...

This study was conducted to evaluate temperature, gas, and leachate data at two landfills in similar climatic regions (Detroit, Michigan, USA and Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Japan) to determine the interrelations between heat production and resulting waste temperatures and gas and leachate levels in landfills under variable decomposition conditions. Significant temperature increases occurred under lon...

Electric distribution grids are seeing an increased penetration of photovoltaic (PV) generation. High PV generation exceeding the grid load demand results in a reverse active power flow grid, which raises voltage level. This paper presents reactive controller to overcome overvoltage problem system. A sequentially coordinated and cooperative volt/var control technique is presented. The proposed ...
