Abstract The Summertime Line Intensity Mapper (SLIM) is a mm-wave line-intensity mapping (mm-LIM) experiment for the South Pole Telescope (SPT). goal of SPT-SLIM to serve as technical and scientific pathfinder demonstration suitability in-field performance multi-pixel superconducting filterbank spectrometers future mm-LIM experiments. Scheduled deploy in 2023-24 austral summer, focal plane will...

BACKGROUND Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is a widespread tool for cardiac risk assessment in asymptomatic patients and accompanying possible adverse effects, i.e. radiation exposure, should be as low as reasonably achievable. PURPOSE To evaluate a new iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithm for dose reduction of in vitro coronary artery calcium scoring at different tube currents. MA...

EDITOR: We report a case in which we used the GlideScope to facilitate the successful insertion of nasogastric tube. A 66-yr-old male was scheduled for an elective left-sided hemi-mandibulectomy with radial free flap reconstruction for squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. On assessment, the patient’s airway was Mallampati 2 and mouth opening was three fingerbreadths wide. We induced anae...

Abstract General reductions in lubricant viscosities many machine components mean that the role of additives forming tribofilms has become increasingly important to provide adequate surface protection against scuffing. However, relationship between scuffing and formation removal not been systematically demonstrated. In this study, a step-sliding speed test based on contra-rotation using MTM-SLI...
