This paper presents a novel full-depletion Si X-ray detector based on silicon-on-insulator pixel (SOIPIX) technology using a pinned depleted diode structure, named the SOIPIX-PDD. The SOIPIX-PDD greatly reduces stray capacitance at the charge sensing node, the dark current of the detector, and capacitive coupling between the sensing node and SOI circuits. These features of the SOIPIX-PDD lead t...

We study the decay of unstable states by formulating quantum tunneling as a time-of-arrival problem: we determine the detection probability for particles at a detector located a distance L from the tunneling region. For this purpose, we use a Positive-Operator-Valued-Measure (POVM) for the time-of-arrival determined in [1]. This only depends on the initial state, the Hamiltonian and the locatio...

A major barrier towards scaling visual recognition systems is the difficulty of obtaining labeled images for large numbers of categories. Recently, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained used 1.2M+ labeled images have emerged as clear winners on object classification benchmarks. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of those labels are available with bounding box localization for trai...

introduction natural and artificial radionuclides are the main sources of human radiation exposure. these radionuclides, which are present in the environment, can enter the food chain. rice is one of the most important food components in iran. radionuclides by transferring from soil to rice and entering the human body can affect human health. materials and methods fourteen samples of different ...

an ion chromatography (ic) method for simultaneous determination of benzoic, salicylic and sorbic acids was developed. in this method the samples were purified by solid-phase extraction. the analytes were then eluted with methanol from c18 cartridge. the separation was performed on ion-exclusion column by an isocratic elution with 0.25 mmol /l sulfuric acid solution containing 20% (v/v) acetone...

objective: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of two caries detector dyes in the diagnosis of dental caries. materials and methods: twenty extracted human posterior teeth without pulpal exposure were sectioned mesiodistally through the center of the lesions using a water-cooled disk. the tooth halves were randomly divided into two groups and treated with caries detector (...

in this paper two different methods are presented to approximate the solution of the fractional black-scholes equation for valuation of barrier option. also, the two schemes need less computational work in comparison with the traditional methods. in this work, we propose a new generalization of the two-dimensional differential transform method and decomposition method that will extend the appli...

according to statistics released by agricultural insurance fund (aif) less than 4 million acres out of 90 million acres has been covered by pastures insurance. this observation along with several facts motivated authors to study possible barriers which pastures insurance has been encountered in practice. the research population included all the experts in agricultural insurance fund. small popu...
