PURPOSE To assess detailed dosimetry data for prostate and clinical relevant intra- and peri-prostatic structures including neurovascular bundles (NVB), urethra, and penile bulb (PB) from postbrachytherapy computed tomography (CT) versus high resolution contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (HR-CEMRI). MATERIAL AND METHODS Eleven postbrachytherapy prostate cancer patients underwent HR-...

Using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) – Advanced Research WRF (ARW) mesoscale model (WRF–ARW), we investigate how two nocturnal offshore rainbands occurring in the Mediterranean basin are modified in a warmer sea surface temperature (SST). After sunset, the thermal difference between land and sea air increases. Driven by drainage winds or land breeze, the inland cold air interacts wi...

The mitigation of the effects of on-road traffic emissions on urban air pollution is currently an environmental challenge. Air quality modeling has become a powerful tool to design environment-related strategies. A wide range of options is being proposed; such as the introduction of natural gas vehicles (NGV), biofuels or hydrogen vehicles. The impacts on air quality of introducing specific NGV...

If dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking is due to a flavor doublet of color sextet quarks, enhanced electroweak scale QCD instanton interactions may produce a large top mass, raise the η6 axion mass, and also explain the excesses in the DIS cross-section at HERA and jet cross-sections at the Tevatron. Presented at the 5th International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering and QCD, Chicago, ...

This paper presents an analysis of a new method for retrieving the parameters atmospheric boundary layer in hurricanes. is based on approximation upper parabolic part wind speed profile and retrieval lower logarithmic part. Based part, friction velocity, near-surface aerodynamic drag coefficient are obtained. The obtained data used verification modeling WRF-ARW model. case Irma hurricane studie...

The coastal meteorology of southeastern Alaska frequently consists of intense orographically enhanced winds. Inland cold pools develop as air cools over the interior and accelerates downs the terrain, resulting in strong winds manifested as gap and channel flows, and downslope windstorms depending on the location and synoptic situation. The latter are locally known as “Taku” windstorms (Dierkin...

This paper presents experimental results on the noise performance of an ultra high quality factor (Q-factor) micromachined silicon Quad Mass Gyroscope (QMG). The device was vacuum sealed at below 0.1mTorr in an LCC package with activated getters, demonstrating the Q-factor better than 1.7 million, along the drive and sense modes, at the 1.6 kHz center frequency. A bias stability of 0.09 deg/hr ...
