CONTEXT The military conflict that occurred between Lebanon and Israel in July and August of 2006 was characterized by the heavy bombardment of specific geographic regions in Israel, resulting in considerable civilian casualties and property damage. OBJECTIVE Israeli civilians directly and indirectly exposed to bombardment were compared on exposure to the recent bombardment, trauma history, p...

A low-energy hydrogen bombardment method, without using any chemical additives, has been designed for fine tuning both physical and chemical properties of molecular thin films through selectively cleaving C-H bonds and keeping other bonds intact. In the hydrogen bombardment process, carbon radicals are generated during collisions between C-H bonds and hydrogen molecules carrying ∼10 eV kinetic ...

Low contact resistance between graphene and metals is of paramount importance to fabricate high performance graphene-based devices. In this paper, the impact of both defects induced by helium ion (He⁺) bombardment and annealing on the contact resistance between graphene and various metals (Ag, Pd, and Pt) were systematically explored. It is found that the contact resistances between all metals ...

Abstract In this paper, a detailed 3-D analysis of the electron beam shape at target plane high power (60 kW, 60 kV, 1 A) 270 0 -bent indirectly heated cathode-based gun has been successfully carried out. This work will help analyse individual trajectories in actual to ensure optimum bending and focusing plane. Moreover, due presence an additional electrode i.e., filament which is resistively s...
