Background: For radiotherapy of total skin including sub-cutaneous tissue up to a depth of 3 cm on the entire left leg of an adult (Angiosarcoma skin), a complex treatment with multiple stationary electron fields was planned at our clinic. The details of dosimetry, clinical dose measurements are presented. Materials and Methods: The treatment planned with 6 overlapping 9 MeV electron fields in ...

Film droplets formed from the bursting of 2.4 mm diameter bubbles on the surface of pure water are predominantly negatively charged. The charge generated per bubble varies chaotically; a few bubbles generate more than -3 × 10(6) elementary charges (e) but the vast majority generate much less. The average is -5 × 10(4)e/bubble, and it is not significantly affected by bubbling rate or temperature...

HAKIM, A. A., AKD NATHAN LIFSON. Effects of pressure on water and solute transport by do,g intestinal mucosa in vitro. Am. J Physiol. 216(Z) : 276-284. 1969.-This paper describes in some detail of canine intestinal mucosa ( 11, 12). The physiological relevance of the preparation is favored by its transport behavior, including dependence of water transport from isotonic Ringer fluid on the prese...

We present high resolution (R=25,000–35,000) K-band spectroscopy of two young stars, MWC 480 and V1331 Cyg. Earlier spectrally dispersed (R=230) interferometric observations of MWC 480 indicated the presence of an excess continuum emission interior to the dust sublimation radius, with a spectral shape that was interpreted as evidence for hot water emission from the inner disk of MWC 480. Our sp...

We describe a nondestructive evaluation (NDE) method based on the propagation of highly nonlinear solitary waves (HNSWs) to determine the excess of water on the surface of existing concrete structures. HNSWs are induced in a one-dimensional granular chain placed in contact with the concrete to be tested. The chain is part of a built-in transducer designed and assembled to exploit the dynamic in...

A new kind of suspension liquid was developed by dispersing Ti nanoparticles (10 nm) in liquid Na, which was then determined by TEM (transmission electron microscopy) analysis. The volume fraction was estimated to be 0.0088 from the analyzed Ti concentration (2 at. %) and the densities of Ti and Na. This suspension liquid, Liquid Sodium containing nanoparticles of titanium (LSnanop), shows, des...

BACKGROUND/AIM Fluid volume overload occurs in chronic kidney disease (CKD), leading to the compensatory release of natriuretic peptides. However, the elevated cardiac peptides may also be associated with malnutrition as well as volume overload. METHODS Body fluid composition was measured in 147 patients with CKD between 2009 and 2015, and its relationship to brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) l...

It is shown that accurate values of the rates of enthalpy generation in the electrolysis of light and heavy water can be obtained from measurements in simple, single compartment Dewar type calorimeter cells. This precise evaluation of the rate of enthalpy generation relies on the nonlinear regression fitting of the “black-box” model of the calorimeter to an extensive set of temperature time mea...

Microscopic oil displacement of water flooding and sweep efficiency of continuous gas injection could be improved by water alternating gas (WAG) injection. The WAG injection process aims to squeeze more oil out of the reservoirs; in this method, water and gas are alternatively injected into the reservoir. Also, availability of hydrocarbon or CO2 gases in the field makes it attractive for gas-ba...
