A novel analysis method named peak-to-charge ratio (V(p)/Q(total)) discrimination, aiming at background rejection especially for alpha decay self-activity in LaBr3: Ce scintillators has been developed. This method is based on a waveform analysis using the peak-to-charge ratio in the output waveform of a photomultiplier tube. The discrimination of alpha-induced events was achieved by using a thr...

We study the thermodynamic quantities in system of $N$ independent harmonic oscillators with different frequencies Tsallis statistics entropic parameter $q$ ($1<q<2$) escort average. The self-consistent equation is derived, and physical are calculated temperature. It found that number restricted below $1/(q-1)$. energy, R\'enyi entropy, entropy obtained by solving approximately at high temperat...

The average of ratios (r) is often approximated by the ratio of averages (q), but the reliability of this depends on the distributions of numerator and denominator, neither of which is necessarily known. Here bounds on their relative size (q/r) and difference (q – r) are determined using Karamata’s inequality.

The number A(q) is the upper limit of the ratio of the maximum number of points of a curve defined over Fq to the genus. By constructing class field towers with good parameters we present improvements of lower bounds of A(q) for q an odd power of a prime.

Previous investigators reported that gas exchange consistently worsened when cardiac output (Qt) was increased under normal and pathological conditions. The aim of the present paper is to offer an alternative explanation, besides the one previously proposed that was based on some attenuation of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. The new concept emphases the inherent heterogeneity of regional b...

The shape of the uroflowmetrogram reflects voiding conditions. Using a voiding simulation, we examined whether the urethral loss coefficient (LC) calculated from the approximated uroflowmetrogram correlates with parameters that regulate the shape of the uroflowmetrogram. A total of 161 normal and abnormal uroflowmetrograms were used. Normal female subjects and patients before and after transure...

INTRODUCTION For a resonant mass sensor, one definition of sensitivity is the ratio of resonant frequency change to mass change. This is not the complete story, however, as the change in resonant frequency needs to be detectable. Thus, the resonator’s Q factor (which is inversely related to damping ratio) is an important characteristic of the resonator. A low Q factor corresponds to a broad res...

Currently, the use of time of flight (TOF)-mass spectrometry (MS) in quantitative analysis of small molecules is rare. Recently, the quantitative performance of TOF mass analyzers has improved due to the advancements in TOF technology. We evaluated a Q-TOF-MS in different modes, i.e., Q-TOF-full scan (Q-TOF-FS), Q-TOF-enhanced-full scan (Q-TOF-En-FS), MS(E), Q-TOF-targeted (Q-TOF-TGT), Q-TOF-en...
