In the paper some known and new extensions of the famous theorem of Filippov (1967) and a theorem of Pliś (1965) for differential inclusions are presented. We replace the Lipschitz condition on the set-valued map in the right-hand side by a weaker onesided Lipschitz (OSL), one-sided Kamke (OSK) or a continuity-like condition (CLC). We prove new Filippov-type theorems for singularly perturbed an...

In the retrospective dose assessment of individuals potentially exposed to ionizing radiation after an accident, dosimetry with inert materials can complement or be used as an alternative to biodosimetry assays. Dosimetry based on physical methods such as Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), Thermoluminescence (TL) or Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) provides measurements of absorbed d...

Cone-beam computed tomography CBCT systems are used in radiation therapy for patient alignment and positioning. The CBCT imaging procedure for patient setup adds substantial radiation dose to patient's normal tissue. This study pre-sents a complete procedure for the CBCT dosimetry using the InLight optically-stimulated-luminescence (OSL) nanoDots. We report five dose parameters: the mean slice ...

Substituting fossil-based with biobased chemical building blocks can potentially decrease the environmental impact of polyurethane (PU) coating production. This study applies life cycle assessment methods in early development three processes that incorporate elements into PU production: a fully made organosolv lignin (OSL) and cross-linker from vanillic acid (VA) two hybrid coatings either OSL ...

Abstract This review paper discusses the basics of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) phenomenon, phosphors for OSL, functional design OSL phosphors, and application areas such as radiation dose monitoring individual environmental, computed radiography medical dental diagnosis, dating, security, archaeological autoradiography drug discovery. Finally, future prospects phenomenon passive-typ...

Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are two popular dietary ingredients present in dietary supplements intended to support joint health. A large body of human and animal research suggests that oral intakes of these ingredients, either alone or in combination, reduces joint pain and improves mobility in persons with osteoarthritis. The increased awareness and use of these ingredients in dietary ...

Photostimulable storage phosphors have been used in a wide range of applications including radiation measurements in oneand two-dimensional spaces, called point dosimetry and radiography. In this work, we report that an aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramic plate, which is practically used as a heat sink (SHAPAL®, Tokuyama Corp., Yamaguchi, Japan), shows good optically-stimulated luminescence (OSL) pr...

Introduction: To examine the geological and climatic history on Mars, we investigate an instrument design for robotic, in-situ, Optically Stimulated Luminescence dating (OSL). In this paper, we discuss the basic concepts of OSL, its benefits, and how this technique can be utilized on Mars. Also presented are the vital electronics needed for an instrument design and some of their basic operation...

Multistage stochastic programming in contrast to stochastic control has found wide application in the formulation and solution of nancial problems characterized by a large number of state variables and a generally low n umber of possible decision stages. The literature on the use of multistage recourse modelling to formalize complex portfolio optimization problems dates back to the early sevent...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate scatter radiation dose to the subject surface during X-ray computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopy using the integrated dose ratio (IDR) of an X-ray dose profile derived from an optically stimulated luminescent (OSL) dosimeter. We aimed to obtain quantitative evidence supporting the radiation protection methods used during previous CT fluoroscopy. A multis...
