Influence of Head Shape on Measured Activity of Actinides
نویسنده
چکیده
In vivo measurement of actinides activity in human skull is a valuable technique of internal dosimetry. Many articles were published on calibrations and some new facts were found. The most important finding was that the relation of measured head size and size of a calibration phantom has notable effect on measured activity; however real impact depends on the detectors geometry. Still opened and never studied issue is: How variation in the head shape influences measured activity. Current study tries to provide answer to this question by the means of Monte Carlo simulation and voxel phantoms.

Influence of Afterbody and Boundary Layer on Cavitating Flow
The characteristics of a cavitation water tunnel test setup and the experiments of cavitation around different models are given in this paper. Models of test are formed from combination of head and variable length afterbody. The experiments are performed initially with the smooth head and then with the roughened head. Cavitation initiates both in the wake and after the head. If the nose of mode...
متن کاملMaximum occlusal force relationship with head and facial pattern in dental students of Shahed university
Background and Aims: The vertical growth pattern of the face depends on several factors. One of these factors can be the muscle strength of the jaw. Maximum occlusal force (MOF) can be considered as an index to measure the function of the muscles of the masticatory system. Despite the various studies, the relationship between the facial pattern and muscle function is still controversial. Accord...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of an isosmotic point of salinity i.e. 12 ppt on the body shape of sword tail, Xiphophurus helleri, during the early development using geometric morphometric approach. In total sixty newly hatched larvae reared in two salinity treatments (0.5 and 12 ppt) for a period of two months. Then the left side of the specimens were photographed and sixteen landm...
متن کاملInfluence of Matric Potential on Survival and Activity of Genetically Engineered Ralstonia eutropha H850Lr
Although the application of biodegradative genetically engineered micro organisms (GEMs) for bioremediation is very promising, the risks of their release should be assessed before their introduction into the environment. Lux-marked Ralstonia eutropha H850Lr (formerly Alcaligenes eutrophus H850Lr) was introduced into sterile and non-sterile soil microcosms at matric potentials ?2.11, ?30, ?750, ...
