Objective(s): The energy resolution of a cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) solid-state semiconductor detector is about 5%, and is superior to the resolution of the conventional Anger type detector which is 10%. Also, the window width of the high-energy part and of the low-energy part of a photo peak window can be changed separately. In this study, we used a semiconductor detector and examined the ef...

We propose here a program of searches for degenerate electro-weakinos in various final state search topologies. In particular we emphasize the usefulness of searching for mass degenerate charginos and neutralinos in the mono-Z search channel. We demonstrate that the mono-Z search supercedes the mono-jet and mono-photon search topologies and present arguments using effective operators to explain...

abstract creating suitable classrooms that can meet the educational needs of mentally-retarded students is vitally important. the present study explores the effect of three physical characteristics of classroom environment on the creativity of educable mentally-retarded children: window view, window size, and classroom size. the participants, one hundred 9-to-11-year-old girl students, took the...

introduction: poor sensitivity and poor signal to noise ratio because of low injected thallium dose and presence of scattered photons are the main problems in using thallium in scintigraphic imaging of the heart. scattered photons are the main cause of degrading the contrast and resolution in spect imaging that result in error in quantification. thallium decay is very complicated and photons ar...

mono-specific antisera against vibrio cholera ogawa nih-43 and vibrio cholera inaba 35-a3 were prepared from rabbit hyperimmune sera by absorbing against a heterologous strain. using ammonium sulphate precipitation procedure, gamma globulins were purified and concentrated. to visualize antigen-antibody reaction, gamma globulins were conjugated to staphylococcus aureus cowan-l (nctc: 8325) in th...

Zinc actions on synaptic transmission span the modulation of neurotransmitter receptors, transporters, activation of intracellular cascades and alterations in gene expression. Whether and how zinc affects inhibitory synaptic signalling in the dentate gyrus remains largely unexplored. We found that mono- and di-synaptic GABAergic inputs onto dentate granule cells were reversibly depressed by exo...

Land Surface Temperature monitoring major parameters of climate change country studies. In this paper, two methods to retrieve the land surface temperature (LST) from thermal infrared data supplied by band 6 of the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) sensor onboard the Landsat 7 satellite are compared. The two are the mono-window algorithm developed by Qin et al. [International Journal of Remo...
