Abstract Braneworld models with induced gravity exhibit phantom-like behavior of the effective equation state dark energy. They can, therefore, naturally accommodate higher values H 0 , preferred by recent local measurements while satisfying cosmic microwave background constraints. We test evolution in such phantom braneworld scenarios current observational data sets. find that prefers a value ...

In this paper, we investigated the anisotropic thermal transport in two-dimensional (2D) perovskite (phenethylammonium lead iodide) nanolayers through a measurement technique called cross-sectional scanning microscopy. method, target layer on substrate was oblique polished with an Ar ion beam to create low-angle wedge nanoscale roughness that is followed by high-vacuum microscopy obtain conduct...

background: in radiation therapy, water is the phantom material of choice, both for reference and for relative dosimetry measurements. solid phantoms, however, are more useful for routine measurements because they tend to be more robust and easier to set up than water phantoms. materials and methods: fluka input data cards have been arranged in sequential order. a simple cylindrical geometry wi...

The energy dependence of radiographic film can introduce dosimetric errors when evaluating photon beams. The variation of the film response, which is attributed to the changing photon spectrum with depth and field size, has been the subject of numerous publications in recent years. However, these data show large unexplained differences in the magnitude of this variation among independent studie...

Background: Radioiodine therapy has proven to be an effective method in the treatment of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma after thyroidectomy. The scope of this study is to describe a method to obtain the dose of organs using medical internal radiation dosimetry (MIRD) method. At the end, the results of MIRD calculations were compared with thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD...

background: prediction of the absorbed dose in irradiated volume plays an important role in the outcome of radiotherapy. application of small fields for radiotherapy of thorax makes the dose calculation process inaccurate due to the existence of electronic disequilibrium and intrinsic deficiencies in dose calculation algorithms. to study the lung absorbed dose in radiotherapy with small fields,...

Introduction: In patients with thyroid carcinoma, radiation absorbed doses of the thyroid and surrounding tissues is important to weigh risk and benefit considerations. In nuclear medicine, the accuracy of absorbed dose of internally distributed radionuclides is estimated by different methods such as MIRD and direct method using TLD. The aim of this study is using TLD and a phantom to determine...

A simple phantom was designed, constructed, tested, and clinically implemented for daily quality assurance (QA) of an ultrasound-image-guided radiation therapy (US-IGRT) system, the Restitu Ultrasound system (Resonant Medical, Montreal, QC). The phantom consists of a high signal echogenic background gel surrounding a low signal hypoechoic egg-shaped target. Daily QA checks involve ultrasound im...

A measurement of the $B^0_s \to J/\psi\phi$ decay parameters using 80.5 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ integrated luminosity collected with ATLAS detector from 13 TeV proton-proton collisions at LHC is presented. The measured include $CP$-violating phase $\phi_s$, width difference $\Delta\Gamma_{s}$ between $B^0_s$ meson mass eigenstates and average $\Gamma_{s}$. values for physical are combined those 19.2...

BACKGROUND Phase contrast (PC) measurements play an important role in several cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) protocols but considerable variation is observed in such measurements. Part of this variation stems from the propagation of thermal noise from the measurement data through the image reconstruction to the region of interest analysis used in flow measurement, which limits the prec...
