This work introduces an MR-compatible active breathing control device (MR-ABC) that can be applied to lung imaging. An MR-ABC consists of a pneumotachograph for respiratory monitoring and an airway-sealing unit. Using an MR-ABC, the subjects were forced to suspend breathing for short time intervals, which were used in turn for data acquisition. While the breathing flow was stopped, data acquisi...

The time constraint in the growth of ZnO nanostructures when using a hydrothermal method is of paramount importance in contemporary research, where a long fabrication time rots the very essence of the research on ZnO nanostructures. In this study, we present the facile and ultrafast growth of ZnO nanostructures in a domestic microwave oven within a pressurized environment in just a few minutes....

It is easy to control traffic light system on highways but difficult in urban areas. This problem can be solved by decreasing the stoppage time at the junction to zero, instead of broaden the available traffic network. In this paper, different tools or algorithm are used and everyone has its own contribution in solving the traffic light system. Here sensors are used to control the speed of cars...

Among 21 cases of COVID-19 infection in our center, median age at diagnosis was 40 ± 12.8 years, and the interval since transplantation 4.75 years. Fever (100%) radiographic abnormalities form unilateral or bilateral/multifocal consolidations (80%) were most common presentations. Macrolide's antibiotics used 75% patient.95% improved 4.6% showed mortality, reduction stoppage current immunosuppre...

In this paper the Analytic Network Process (ANP) is applied to the selection of photovoltaic (PV) solar power projects. These projects follow a long management and execution process from plant site selection to plant start-up. As a consequence, there are many risks of time delays and even of project stoppage. In the case study presented in this paper a top manager of an important Spanish compan...

Very little is known about the blood backscattering behavior and signal statistics following flow stoppage at frequencies higher than 10 MHz. Measurements of the radio frequency (rf) signals backscattered by normal human blood (hematocrit = 40%, temperature = 37 degrees C) were performed in a tube flow model at mean frequencies varying between 10 and 58 MHz. The range of increase of the backsca...

Abstract Dams are built to store the water flowing from upstream downstream. Sedimentation and siltation some of major problems affecting storage capacity dams. For effective management, bathymetric topographic data used assess this challenge. In Mambila Plateau Taraba, Nigeria, Tunga Dam is a multifunctional reservoir that serves as small hydropower, irrigation domestic use dam. Nonetheless, i...
