OBJECTIVE: To determine the protective efficacy of vitamin B12 combined with far-infrared radiation on radiation-induced skin damage in the treatment of acute and chronic pelvic tumours. METHODS: One hundred patients requiring radiation therapy were randomly assigned to one of two groups: 50 patients were assigned to the control group and received usual care; the 50 patients assigned to the exp...

introduction: one of the most important aspects of food preservation is controlling the moisture of material such as fruits.dryingis considered as important method to controlbacteriasafely using reduction of moisture. the hot air drying method has been widely adopted in manufacturing of conventional dried food.nowadays, infrared radiation (ir) has significant advantages over conventional drying...

The solar reflectance and the thermal emittance of a roof surface are important surface properties affecting the roof temperature, which, in turn, drives the heat flow through the roof. The solar reflectance (p) determines the fraction of the solar radiation incident from all directions that is diffusely reflected by the surface. The thermal emittance (c) describes how well the surface radiates...

Recent Spitzer infrared (IR) observations of two transiting hot Jupiters during their secondary eclipses have provided the first direct detection of planets orbiting other stars (Charbonneau et al. 2005; Deming et al. 2005). We here elaborate on some aspects of our detection of HD209458b at 24 μm, and we compare to the detection of TrES-1 by Charbonneau et al. Spitzer will eventually determine ...

2014 Experimental photometric measurements have been performed in the infrared part of the spectrum of the radiation emitted by ACO, the storage ring of Orsay, in view to check the theory in this range. An improvement of more than one order of magnitude in intensity compared to classical sources used in infrared spectrometers can be expected with a specially designed line. LE JOURNAL DE PHYSIQU...

This paper presented a novel method to detect the signal of the instantaneous infrared target based on the Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The radiation energy produced by flame infrared target was divided to finite element section. Studied the distribution of the unit area energy of flame in the detection system and the calculation method of flame radiation obtained by the photosensitive surfac...

Title of Dissertation: High Temperature Radiation Absorption of Fuel Molecules And An Evaluation of Its Influence on Pool Fire Modeling Kaoru Wakatsuki Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation Directed By: Associate Professor, Jungho Kim Associate Professor, Greg Jackson Department of Mechanical Engineering Infrared absorption coefficients of various gas and liquid fuels (propane, nheptane, meth...

The spatial resolution of infrared thermometry is limited by diffraction to dimensions close to the wavelength of the collected infrared radiation, typically 5 μm at room temperatures. Thermal properties variations, temperature gradients, and defects with dimensions smaller than the diffraction limit are inaccessible to far-field infrared thermometry. This work demonstrates a near-field method ...

REVIOUS studies showed that exposure of spermatozoa of Drosophila P melanogaster to near infrared radiation before treatment with X-rays effected a marked increase in the frequency of viable types of chromosomal rearrangement as compared with the frequency in controls receiving only the X-rays. On the other hand, exposure of males to near infrared radiation after treatment with X-rays did not s...

The origin of infrared thermography comes in 1800 when William Herschel discovered thermal radiation, the invisible light later called infrared, but only in the mid-sixties infrared thermography became a technique of temperature cartography. He proved that this radiation, called infrared, followed the same law as visible light. Later, this phenomenon was connected with the laws of Planck and St...
