50 AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CRITICAL CARE, January 2007, Volume 16, No. 1 www.ajcconline.org • BACKGROUND Immobility is associated with complications involving many body systems. • OBJECTIVE To review the effect of rotational therapy (use of therapeutic surfaces that turn on their longitudinal axes) on prevention and/or treatment of respiratory complications in critically ill patients. • METHODS Pub...

The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of alkyl spin labels were observed in the excised guinea pig dorsal skin, its stratum corneum, delipidized skin and stratum corneum model lipid liposomes. The spectrum of 5-doxylstearic acid (5-NS) in the stratum corneum and order parameter obtained from the spectrum, indicated that the spin label was present in highly ordered lipid lamella. On the othe...

Due to the generally delocalized nature of molecular valence orbitals, valence-shell spectroscopies do not usually allow to specifically target a selected atom in a molecule. However, in X-ray electron spectroscopy, the photoelectron momentum is large and the recoil angular momentum transferred to the molecule is larger when the photoelectron is ejected from a light atom compared with a heavy o...

Electron collision cross section data for the water molecule are compiled from literature. Cross sections collected and reviewed total scattering, elastic momentum transfer, excitations of rotational vibrational states, electronic excitation, dissociation, ionization, dissociative attachment. For each these processes, recommended values presented. The literature has been surveyed up to end 2019.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the plan qualities of various treatment modalities for the radiotherapy of cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma developed on the skin of the foot. A total of six virtual targets were generated on the skin of the foot in CT images. Five types of treatment plans were generated using photon beams (PB), electron beams (EB), high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy with ...

Laser-induced excitation spectra of the two bands ã B 1–X̃ A 1, 2 0 1 and 10 1 of SO2 and SO2 have been recorded in a supersonic jet at a resolution of 0.015 cm. The rotational and electron-spin fine structure has been analyzed for both isotopic species. Analysis of the rotational and electron-spin fine structure yields precise values of the rotational constants A, B, and C and the spin constant...

We present theoretical thermally averaged rate constants for vibrational and rotational (de-)excitation of the H3 ion by electron impact. The constants are calculated using the multichannel quantum-defect approach. The calculation includes processes that involve a change | J | ≤ 2 in the rotational angular momentum J of H3 . The rate constants are calculated for states with J ≤ 5 for rotational...
