Positron emission tomography (PET) is widely used nowadays for tumor staging and therapy response in the clinic. However, average PET radiation exposure has increased due to higher PET utilization. This study aims to review state-of-the-art PET tracer dosage optimization methods after accounting for the effects of human body attenuation and scan protocol parameters on the counting rate. In part...

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sprayers have been widely used in agriculture. With the goals of using pesticides efficiently and reducing their dosage, we evaluated effects adding not special adjuvants to UAV on droplet deposition control effect leaf folder insects. The quantity coverage area with Kao Adjuvant A-200® rice leaves were better than those without A-200®. Regarding rollers, also bett...

Previous studies on gene expression in aneuploids revealed numerous trans-acting dosage effects. Segmental aneuploidy of each varied chromosomal region exhibited predominantly inverse effects on several target genes. Here, dosage regulation was examined in a maize (Zea mays L.) ploidy series where the complete genomic complement is varied. Total RNA from leaf tissue of monoploid, diploid, tripl...
