Background: Chest CT is a commonly used examination for the diagnosis of lung diseases, but a breast within the scanned field is nearly never the organ of interest.Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the female breast and lung doses using split and standard protocols in chest CT scanning.Materials and Methods: The sliced chest and breast female phantoms were used. CT exams were p...

Let M be a right module over a ring R. In this manuscript, we shall study on a special case of F-inverse split modules where F is a fully invariant submodule of M introduced in [12]. We say M is Z 2(M)-inverse split provided f^(-1)(Z2(M)) is a direct summand of M for each endomorphism f of M. We prove that M is Z2(M)-inverse split if and only if M is a direct...

In this paper, we show how frames can be employed in the analysis 5 of genitive constructions. We model the main approaches in the discussion about 6 genitive constructions, i.e. the argument-only approach, the modifier-only approach 7 and the split approach. Of these three, the split approach is modeled most naturally 8 in frames. Thus, if frames are considered a cognitively adequate represent...

The edge tenacity Te(G) of a graph G is dened as:Te(G) = min {[|X|+τ(G-X)]/[ω(G-X)-1]|X ⊆ E(G) and ω(G-X) > 1} where the minimum is taken over every edge-cutset X that separates G into ω(G - X) components, and by τ(G - X) we denote the order of a largest component of G. The objective of this paper is to determine this quantity for split graphs. Let G = (Z; I; E) be a noncomplete connected split...
