By identifying the effect of any parameter such as distance, attenuation and scattering on the Line Spread Function (LSF), one can compensate the quantitative and qualitative destructive effect of such parameters by deconvolution method. Using a 99mTC line source, this study was performed on a single head ADAC SPECT system operating in planar mode. Variation of FWTM and FWHM and LSFs as a...

Left perirhinal cortex has been previously implicated in associative coding. According to a recent experiment, the similarity of perirhinal fMRI response patterns to written concrete words is higher for words which are more similar in their meaning. If left perirhinal cortex functions as an amodal semantic hub, one would predict that this semantic similarity effect would extend to the spoken mo...

the aim of this study is assessing and mapping landslide susceptibility in watershed of semiarid mountain areas. saeedabad-chai watershd is located on the northwest of iran and the north of sahand mountain. this study is using bivariate statistical analysis (bsa), weights-of-evidence (woe),gis. the results of this assessment show that causative factors as slope (∑wæ’= + 3.965), landuse(∑wæ’...

the increasing use of nitrogen fertilizers due to high dynamics of nitrate in the soil would be a serious threat to groundwater, and therefore, to thuman health. this study is aimed to investigate the disperdivity values of nitrate in the coarse, medium and fine sandy soils in the short travel distance of 20, 40 and 80 cm in vitro using the hydrus-1d model. for this purpose, pure potassium nitr...

hypothermia generates potentially severe complications in operating or recovery room. forced air warmer is effective to maintain body temperature. extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (elf-emf) is harmful to human body and mainly produced by electronic equipment including convective air warming system. we investigated elf-emf from convective air warming device on various temperature se...
