BACKGROUND Scattered radiation can be assessed by in vivo dosimetry. Thyroid tissue is sensitive to radiation, even at doses <10 cGy. This study compared the scattered dose to the thyroid measured by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) and the estimated one by treatment planning system (TPS). METHODS During radiotherapy to sites other than the thyroid of 16 children and adolescents, seventy-t...

In the downlink cloud radio access network (C-RAN), fronthaul compression has been developed to combat the performance bottleneck caused by the capacity-limited fronthaul links. Nevertheless, the state-of-arts focusing on fronthaul compression for spectral efficiency improvement become questionable for energy efficiency (EE) maximization, especially for meeting its requirements of large-scale i...

background: dose assessment using proper dosimeters is especially important in radiation protection optimization and imaging justification in diagnostic radiology. objective: the aim of this study is to obtain the entrance skin dose (esd) of patients undergoing lumbar spine imaging using two thermoluminescence dosimeters tld-100 (lif: mg, ti) and gr-200 (lif: mg, cu, p) and also to obtain the a...

Terapi HIV/AIDS terus mengalami perkembangan. Rejimen ARV terbaru saat ini menggunakan dolutegravir dalam rejimen KDT-ARV berupa KDT-TLD, yang berisi 2NRTI + INSTI. baru diteliti mampu menekan jumlah virus lebih cepat, mengurangi efek neuropsikiatri, dan resistensi pada sebelumnya efavirenz. Inisiasi juga disarankan sedini mungkin (jika belum ada infeksi oportunistik), agar dapat meningkatkan h...

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not Japanese children with specific language impairment (henceforth; SLI) would in fact experience difficulty with grammatical case-marking. The participants were 10 Japanese children with SLI, aged 7;7 to 11;4, and 25 Japanese children with typical language development (henceforth; TLD), aged 8;11 to 9;11. In this study, a sentence comple...
