background: the potential hazards of exposure to radiation from radon have been of great concern worldwide, as it is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. radon (222rn) and its progeny are the main sources of radioactivity in the environment. the half-life of 222rn (3.82 days) is long enough for it to diffuse into and build up in homes. 220rn or thoron from the 232th series, and 219...

conclusions according to our multimodality imaging approach, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was the most probable diagnosis. case presentation we describe a 73-year-old woman referred to us for consultation because of a giant negative t wave on her electrocardiography. echocardiography revealed diffuse severe hypertrophy associated with hypertrophied anterolateral papillary muscles with a bifid he...

abstract angstrom-prescott equation is one of the most commonly used methods for the estimation of global solar radiation (rs) based on sunshine hours. the critical step in the application of this method's is the calibration of its coefficients for each region. although the coefficients of the equation have been calibrated in different parts of the world, the effect of different time scales has...

Downwelling surface shortwave flux (DSSF) is a key parameter to addressing many climate, meteorological, and solar energy issues. Under clear sky conditions, DSSF is particularly sensitive to the variability both in time and space of the aerosol load and chemical composition. Hitherto, this dependence has not been properly addressed by the Satellite Application Facility on Land Surface Analysis...

Abstract The study shows that oil production and consumption in the various sectors accounted for over 80% of rising GHG emissions, especially CO2. Additionally, examines solar PV potential Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, using computational modelling. results show yearly average global horizontal irradiation (GHI), direct normal radiation (DNI), diffuse irradiations (DHI) are 2244 kW/m2, 1967 863.3 kWh/...

The recent detection of gamma radiation from Mkn 501 at energies as high as ∼ 25 TeV suggests stringent upper bounds on the diffuse, far infrared, extragalactic radiation density. The production of electron-positron pairs through photon-photon collisions would prevent gamma photons of substantially higher energies from reaching us across distances of order 100Mpc. However, coherently arriving T...
