Abstract Introduction Several cancer chemotherapeutic agents are administered to patients with worldwide. Our previous report on the analysis of US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) database revealed that five anticancer (melphalan; L-PAM, methotrexate; MTX, vincristine; VCR, docetaxel; DTX, doxorubicin; DOX) were proven risk factors for erectile dysfuncti...

Measurements of the natural propagation of UHF radio waves on an underground train are reported. Of prime interest are the natural propagation attenuation and the median signal level behavior. The propagation attenuation rates or the median signal level behaviors are found to correlate with the train carriages and frequency. On the front carriage, the propagation attenuation rate is 54 dB/100 m...

X-band klystrons capable of 50 MW and utilizing Periodic Permanent Magnet (PPM) focusing are undergoing design and fabrication at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). The klystron development is part of an effort to realize components necessary for the construction of the Next Linear Collider (NLC). The first klystron to be tested this year has a 0.6 UK beam at 465 kV, a 5-cell travel...
