the role of russia in transmission of energy from central asia and caucuses to european union
پس ازفروپاشی شوروی،رشد منابع نفت و گاز، آسیای میانه و قفقاز را در یک بازی ژئوپلتیکی انرژی قرار داده است. با در نظر گرفتن این منابع هیدروکربنی، این منطقه به یک میدانجنگ و رقابت تجاری برای بازی های ژئوپلتیکی قدرت های بزرگ جهانی تبدیل شده است. روسیه منطقه را به عنوان حیات خلوت خود تلقی نموده و علاقمند به حفظ حضورش می باشد تا همانند گذشته گاز طبیعی را به وسیله خط لوله مرکزی دریافت و به عنوان یک واس...
15 صفحه اولA Method to Improve Electron Density Measurement of Cone-Beam CT Using Dual Energy Technique
PURPOSE To develop a dual energy imaging method to improve the accuracy of electron density measurement with a cone-beam CT (CBCT) device. MATERIALS AND METHODS The imaging system is the XVI CBCT system on Elekta Synergy linac. Projection data were acquired with the high and low energy X-ray, respectively, to set up a basis material decomposition model. Virtual phantom simulation and phantoms...
متن کاملThe impact of CT scan energy on range calculation in proton therapy planning
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of tube potential (kVp) on the CT number (HU) to proton stopping power ratio (PSPR) conversion. The range and dosimetric change introduced by a mismatch in kVp used for the CT scan and the HU to PSPR table, based on a specific kVp, used to calculate dose are analyzed. Three HU to PSPR curves, corresponding to three kVp settings on the CT s...
متن کاملInvestigating the effect of voltage fluctuations on the beam quality of X-rays in the range energy of diagnostic radiology
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of voltage ripple produced by X-ray machines on the quality of X-ray rays. For this purpose, the energy spectrum from the X-ray tube manufacturer should be simulated in the range of diagnostic radiography and verified by experimental results. The statistical analysis of the results showed that there is no significant difference between sim...
