Introduction: The determination of accurate dose distribution is an issue of fundamental importance in radiotherapy, especially with regard to the fact that the human body is a heterogeneous medium. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the density and isodose depth profiles of 6 MV beam in a SP34 slab-wooden dust (pine)-SP34 slab (SWS) heterogeneous phantom.  Materials and Methods: Th...

The interaction between surface acoustic waves (SAWs) and spin (SWs) in a piezoelectric/magnetic thin film heterostructure yields potential for the realization of novel microwave devices applications magnonics. In present work, we investigate SAW-SW Pt/Co($2\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$)/Ru($0.85\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$)/Co($4\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$)/...

OBJECTIVES To compare shear-wave speed (SWS) measured by ultrasound-based point shear-wave elastography (pSWE) and MR elastography (MRE) on phantoms with a known shear modulus, and to assess method validity and variability. METHODS 5 homogeneous phantoms of different stiffnesses were made. Shear modulus was measured by a rheometer, and this value was used as the standard. 10 SWS measurements ...

Because...

Abstract The elastic modulus of tissue as a useful biomarker disease detection can be quantitatively evaluated based on shear wave speed (SWS) measurements in elastography. Although the longitudinal (LWS) is also expected to promising for detection, elasticity not always dominant because LWS affected by bulk modulus. In other words, and SWS may reflect different properties. Therefore, this stud...

In this paper, we investigate the magnetic, optical, and lattice responses of a $\mathrm{Pt}/\mathrm{Cu}/{\mathrm{Bi}}_{1}{\mathrm{Y}}_{2}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{12}/{\mathrm{Gd}}_{3}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{12}$ heterostructure to femtosecond laser excitation opaque Pt/Cu metallic bilayer. The electronic generates coherent incoherent phonons, which trigger high-frequency standing ...

walnut is a medicinal plant that its different parts such as leaf, seed, root and green husk was shown to reduce blood glucose. in iranian traditional medicine, septum of walnut shell (sws) was recommended to reduce blood glucose. but this effect should be determined with scientific researches. therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the aqueous extract of sws on blood glu...

Low magnetic damping and high group velocity of spin waves (SWs) or magnons are two crucial parameters for functional magnonic devices. Magnonics research on signal processing wave-based computation at GHz frequencies focused the artificial ferrimagnetic garnet ${\mathrm{Y}}_{3}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{12}$ (YIG) so far. We report wave spectroscopy studies performed natural mineral hemati...

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of measuring the stiffness of corpus cavernosum penis (CCP) with ShearWaveTM Elastography (SWE; SuperSonic Imagine, Aix-en-Provence, France). Methods: 40 healthy volunteers with ages ranging from 19 to 81 years (mean, 36 years; standard deviation, 17 years) were selected in this study. The ultrafast ultrasound device Aixplorer® (SuperSonic Imagine) was use...

ODE SWS is a development environment to design Semantic Web Services (SWS) at the knowledge level. ODE SWS describe the service following a problem-solving approach in which the SWS are modeled using tasks, to represent the SWS functional features, and methods, to describe the SWS internal structure. In this paper, we describe the ODE SWS architecture and the capabilities of its graphical inter...
