The article aims to identify the dependence of military expenditures and selected economic determinants on example V4 countries in years 1999-2020. following are as determinants: size gross domestic product, rate inflation, debt deficit government sector unemployment. Correlation analysis proved expected relationship between product expenditure Hungary especially Poland. spending unemployment w...

introduction: the different factors that affect the camera uniformity of single photon emission computed tomography (spect) technique have been analyzed including peak shift (%) and window width of energy. the effect of peak shift and window width on spect image uniformity has been investigated using a point source to perform intrinsic flood images. methods:the relation between calculated integ...

Roasting is among the most common methods of nut processing causing physical and chemical changes and ultimately increasing overall acceptance of the product. In this research, the effects of temperature (90, 120 ,and 150°C), time (20, 35 ,and 50 min) ,and roasting air velocity (0.5, 1.5 ,and 2.5 m/s) on gravimetrical properties of pistachio nuts and kernels including unit mass, true density, o...

This report details the objectives, methodologies, and results for Phase II of the project, “Modeling and Optimization for Epitaxial Growth” (see [21] for Phase I report). This project is a joint effort between the Institute for Systems Research (ISR) and Northrop Grumman Corporation’s Electronic Sensors and Systems Sector (ESSS), Baltimore, MD.

Powder blend homogeneity is a critical attribute in formulation development of low dose and potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) yet a complex process with multiple contributing factors. Excipient characteristics play key role in efficient blending process and final product quality. In this work the effect of excipient type and properties, blending technique and processing time on con...

The development and application of a geometrically-based uniformity criterion is presented for film uniformity optimization in a radial-flow GaN epitaxy reactor system. In this multi-wafer reactor system, individual wafers rotate on a rotating susceptor in a planetary motion to reduce the effects of reactant depletion on deposition uniformity; the uniformity criterion developed for this system ...

Introduction Signal intensity uniformity in a magnetic resonance (MR) image indicates how well the MR imaging (MRI) system represents an object. One of the major sources of image non-uniformity in high-field MRI scanners is inhomogeneity of radio-frequency coil. The aim of this study was to investigate non-uniformity in head, head and neck, and body coils and compare the obtained results to det...
