High-energy X-rays offer several advantages over lower energy photons including: lower skin dose, higher depth dose, smaller scattered dose to tissues outside the target volume and less rounded isodose curves. These advantages in physical dose distributions have led to significant improvements in clinical radiotherapy, and high energy linear accelerators are now a standard fixture of radiothera...

Inteins appear most frequently in Archaea, but they are found in organisms belonging to all three domains of lif...

Neutron diffraction measurements for D(2)O in SBA-15 silica of pore diameter 86 Å have been made in a temperature range from 300 to 100 K. The pore-filling factor for the liquid phase is 0.95, resulting in an 'almost-filled' sample. The nucleation and transformation of the ice phase were determined for cooling and warming cycles at two different rates. The primary nucleation event at 258 K lead...
