UNLABELLED (201)Tl-Chloride ((201)Tl) is a myocardial perfusion SPECT agent with excellent biochemical properties commonly used for assessing tissue viability. However, cardiac (201)Tl SPECT images are severely degraded by photons scattered in the thorax. Accurate correction for this scatter is complicated by the nonuniform density and varied sizes of thoraxes, by the additional attenuation and...

We examined the uptake of Tl(I) by two hexagonal birnessites and related phase transformations in laboratory experiments over 12 sequential additions 0.01 M Tl(I)/Mn at pH 4.0, 6.0, 8.0. The Tl-reacted Mn oxides were characterized for their structure, Tl binding, morphology using X-ray diffraction, photoelectron absorption spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy. Very limited oxidation...

In this paper, the problem of transmission loss allocation has been studied and a new method for loss allocation in transaction-based markets has been proposed. To further this end, first transmission line loss equations were used with respect to bus injected currents. The share of each bus from the mentioned transmission line losses was determined. Then, this method was applied to the total ne...

Over the last decade, telomere length (TL) has gained attention as a potential biomarker in cancer disease. We previously reported that long blood TL was associated with a poorer outcome in patients with breast cancer and renal cell carcinoma. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that certain immunological components may have an impact on TL dynamics in cancer patients. One aim of the prese...

In this paper, a systematic approach for EMC modelling of hand-assembled, complex cable bundles is presented. The first part the manuscript focuses on laid out above ground plane, with layout approximately parallel to reference ground. order generate smooth and physics-based trajectories, polynomial curves are used represent conductors in bundle. A suitable process generation bundle samples dev...

in this paper power system model is represented in a new domain that relates to multi-resolution analysis (mra) space. by developing mathematical model of elements in this space using galerkin method, a new alternative method for power system simulation in nonsinusoidal and periodic conditions is developed. the mathematical formulation and characteristics of new proposed space is expressed. als...

current inversion condition leads to incorrect operation of current based directional relay in power system with series compensated device. application of the intelligent system for fault direction classification has been suggested in this paper. a new current directional protection scheme based on intelligent classifier is proposed for the series compensated line. the proposed classifier uses ...

This work is characterized by an entomological research and an investigation on whether seasonal behaviours can be associated to the phlebotomine fauna found in the urban area of Timóteo-MG - an endemic focus of tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL). The analysis of the seasonal behaviour of sand flies has taken into account the following climatic variables: rainfall, relative humidity and temperature...
