Resonance Self-shielding Method for Fuel Annular Subdivisions Using Quasi- 1D Slowing-down Solution

Nucleon Resonance Physics

Recent results of meson photo-production at the existing electron machines with polarized real photon beams and the measurement of polarization observables of the final state baryons have provided high precision data that led to the discovery of new excited nucleon and ∆ states using multi-channel partial wave analyses procedures. The internal structure of several prominent excited states has b...

Physics of Surface Plasmon Resonance

In the last two decades, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has evolved from a fairly esoteric physical phenomenon to an optical tool that is widely used in physical, chemical and biological investigations where the characterization of an interface is of interest. Recently, the field of SPR nano-optics has been added where metallic structures on a nanoscale can be designed such that they can perfo...

A Method for Body Fat Composition Analysis in Abdominal Magnetic Resonance Images Via Self-Organizing Map Neural Network

Introduction: The present study aimed to suggest an unsupervised method for the segmentation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in axial magnetic resonance (MR) images of the abdomen. Materials and Methods: A self-organizing map (SOM) neural network was designed to segment the adipose tissue from other tissues in the MR images. The segmentation of SAT and VA...

Measurement of Posterior Tibial Slope Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Background: Posterior tibial slope (PTS) is an important factor in the knee joint biomechanics and one of the bone features, which leads to knee joint stability. Posterior tibial slope affects flexion gap, knee joint stability and posterior femoral rollback that are related to wide range of knee motion. During high tibial osteotomy and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery, proper retaining the...
