Recent advances in artificial intelligent techniques embedded into a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) allowed the application of such technologies in real engineering problems (robotic, image and signal processing, control, power electronics, etc.), however, the application of such technologies in the solar energy field is very limited. The embedded intelligent algorithm into FPGA can play ...

Treatment of recurrent glioblastoma is still challenging. Stereotactic radiosurgery has been accepted as a treatment option for recurrent glioblastoma after standard chemotherapy and irradiation. However, the efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery at recurrence has been limited, mainly due to the highly infiltrative nature of the tumor which makes the lesion difficult to define as the target. To...

intravenous laser blood irradiation was first introduced into therapy by the soviet scientists en.meschalkin and vs.sergiewski in 1981. originally this method was developed for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. improvement of rheologic properties of the blood as well as improvement of microcirculation and reduction of the area of infarction has been proved. further, reduction of dysrhyt...

in the present study, aminoazines were prepared from the reaction of amidrazone hydroiodide with various aromatic aldehydes in the presence of a solid base under microwave irradiation with power level of 850 w for 2-7 min in high yields. the amidrazone hydroiodide can also be prepared by the reaction of s-methyl isothiobenzamide hydroiodide and hydrazine in methanol under nitrogen gas. all synt...

This investigation focused on the characterization of the lateral dose fall-off following the irradiation of the target with photons, protons and carbon ions. A water phantom was irradiated with a rectangular field using photons, passively delivered protons as well as scanned protons and carbon ions. The lateral dose profile in the depth of the maximum dose was measured using an ion chamber, a ...

BACKGROUND Helical Tomotherapy (HT) has unique capacities for the radiotherapy of large and complicated target volumes. Next generation Dynamic Jaw/Dynamic Couch HT delivery promises faster treatments and reduced exposure of organs at risk due to a reduced dose penumbra. METHODS Three challenging clinical situations were chosen for comparison between Regular HT delivery with a field width of ...

background: organophosphorus pesticides are one of the most consumable poisons. such poisons can enter water sources by different routes. since consuming some drinking water containing an amount of poison higher than the standard level, causes undesirable effects on human health. this research aimed to study the effectiveness of elimi­nating malathion from water by ultraviolet irradiation (uv) ...

The mesoporous ZrFe2O4 nanocauliflowers were synthesized via the solvothermal method. The core-shell ZrFe2O4@SiO2 nanocomposite was successfully prepared by a simple wet route using tetraethylorthosilicate, then modified with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxisilan (APTES) as link...

Combination of the sterile insect technique with the incompatible insect technique is considered to be a safe approach to control Aedes albopictus populations in the absence of an accurate and scalable sex separation system or genetic sexing strain. Our previous study has shown that the triple Wolbachia-infected Ae. albopictus strain (wAlbA, wAlbB and wPip) was suitable for mass rearing and fem...

BACKGROUND The notable survival chances of intracranial germ cell tumors (icGCTs) lead to a rising concern over long-term neurocognitive outcome. Yet, prior evidence related to this issue fails to provide a comprehensive examination of the effects of tumor location and radiotherapy. We attempt to explore their impacts on the neuropsychological functions and life quality in children with icGCT a...
