We report on measurements of the light absorption efficiency of InSb nanowires. The absorbed 70 fs light pulse generates carriers, which equilibrate with the lattice via electron-phonon coupling. The increase in lattice temperature is manifested as a strain that can be measured with X-ray diffraction. The diffracted X-ray signal from the excited sample was measured using a streak camera. The am...

polyvinyl ester green composites were synthesized with walnut shell powder (wsp) by in-situ polymerization technique. the green composites have been evaluated for mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tensile modulus and hardness. sliding wear loss, specific wear rate and coefficient of friction were investigated by using computerized pin-on–disc machine at normal applied loads of 20,...

PURPOSE The aim of the study was the prediction of human intestinal permeability and fraction absorbed of oral dose using single-pass intestinal perfusion technique (SPIP) in rats. METHODS Permeability coefficients in anaesthetized rats were determined for 14 compounds. Drug solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) was perfused through a ingle-pass intestinal perfusion (SPIP) with flow rat...

A beagle humerus treated with Ho-chelate radiopharmaceutical in vivo was examined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosimetry. The bone was sectioned and the absorbed dose to each bone fragment was determined by additive re-irradiation of the bone tissue with calibrated doses of gamma radiation. The measured doses ranged from 4.3 Gy to 62 Gy. The highest doses were recorded in the predom...

PURPOSE Positron emission tomography (PET) plays an important role in the diagnosis, staging, treatment, and surveillance of clinically localized diseases. Combined PET/CT imaging exhibits significantly higher sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy than conventional imaging when it comes to detecting malignant tumors in children. However, the radiation dose from positron-emitting radionuclide t...

Inorganic radioactive phosphate (Na@HP3@O4, specific activity above 1 mc/j@g P) is measurably taken up by the explants. Incorporation is in hibited by monoiodic acetic acid and...

The effects of irradiation with 17 MeV electron beams and “‘Co y-rays on the magnetic flux of Nd-Fe-B and Sm-Co permanent magnets have been studied. At an electron dose of 2.1 X 10d3 C/cm’ (at an absorbed dose of 2.6 MGy), the magnetic flux loss of Nd-Fe-B is 9%, while the flux loss of Sm-Co is below 0.4% at a dose of 1.4 X 10B3 C/cm’. After remagnetization of the irradiated Nd-Fe-B sample the ...

We have determined the cosmological evolution of the density of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and of their NH distribution as a function of the un–absorbed 2–10 keV luminosity up to redshift 4. We used the HELLAS2XMM sample combined with other published catalogs, yielding a total of 508 AGN. Our best fit is obtained with a luminosity-dependent density evolution (LDDE) model where low luminosity ...
