introduction: poor sensitivity and poor signal to noise ratio because of low injected thallium dose and presence of scattered photons are the main problems in using thallium in scintigraphic imaging of the heart. scattered photons are the main cause of degrading the contrast and resolution in spect imaging that result in error in quantification. thallium decay is very complicated and photons ar...

Optical pump-probe setups are commonly used for excitation and investigation of the spin dynamics in various types magnetic materials. Usually spatially homogeneous is considered, but here authors describe optical $n\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}o\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}n\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}u\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}n\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}f\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}o\phantom{\rul...

An intense beam of 122 MeV/u (9.3 GeV) Ge ions was stopped in aluminum samples at the Coupled Cyclotron Facility at NSCL, MSU. Attempts were made at ORNL to measure changes in material properties by measuring changes in electrical resistivity and microhardness, and by transmission electron microscopy characterization, for defect density caused by radiation damage, as a function of depth and int...

introduction: in this study, we intend to use diffuse optical tomography (dot) as a noninvasive, safe and low cost technique that can be considered as a functional imaging method and mention the importance of image reconstruction in accuracy and procession of image. one of the most important and fastest methods in image reconstruction is the boundary element method (bem). this method is introdu...

The first public release of PVM was version 2.0 in February 1991; the first PVM release from Oak Ridge National Laboratory that supported the Windows operating system was version 3.4 (beta 5) at the end of 1997 and then with the formal release of PVM version 3.4.0 in January 1999. While this initial release provided the PVM framework and functionality to the Windows world, there were a number o...

It has been a long-standing problem in $N$-electron systems as to how solve the Dyson equation with quasiparticle wave functions defined $\ensuremath{\langle}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Psi}}}_{0}^{N}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}|\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\ensuremath{\psi}}_{s}(\mathbit{r})\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}|\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Psi...
