abstractbackground: as fluoroscopy or different angiographies are usually evaluated using tl dosimeter. thismethod is a time-consuming procedure therefore, radiologists are usually worried and unawareof their exact radiation dose received during each fluoroscopy or angiography. in this study, anew trend for quick estimation of effective dose based on measuring air-absorbed dose of thescattered ...

background: radioactive substances are water chemical contaminants. in this study, the concentration of radon was measured in drinking water supplies of taft villages (part of dehshir-baft fault located in central part of iran) and also shirkooh area with granite rocks (containing uranium). materials and methods: this cross sectional research was conducted in fall 2013 and winter 2014 on the so...

Challenges arise in assuring the quality of applications that do not have test oracles, i.e., for which it is impossible to know what the correct output should be for arbitrary input. Metamorphic testing has been shown to be a simple yet effective technique in addressing the quality assurance of these “non-testable programs”. In metamorphic testing, if test input x produces output f (x), specif...

comparison between our approach and commercial virus scanners. I would also like to thank my friends and schoolmates for their technical and emotional support. I want to thank Yue Wang for performing the virus scanning, and Peter Hey for repairing my hard disk after it crashed at the most critical moment. Finally I want to thank my family for their understanding and support throughout my five y...

Infrared laser probe Ar/Ar geochronology, instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and analytical electron microscopy have been performed on four 0.5 1.0 0.3 cm polished rock tiles of Apollo 16 and 17 granulitic breccias (60035, 77017, 78155, and 79215). Pyroxene thermometry indicates that these samples were re-equilibrated and underwent peak metamorphic sub-solidus recrystallization at ...
