Indoor radon concentrations were measured in dwellings of the Puglia region in Southern Italy using LR-115 passive detectors. The results show that the radon concentrations varied from 15 ± 2 to 2166 ± 133 Bq/m³ with a geometric mean of 114 Bq/m³ and a geometric standard deviation of 2.3. An analysis on the factors affecting radon concentration such as age of the dwellings, floors, and stories,...

Hemolysis is a well-known phenomenon during cardiovascular surgery and generally attributed to cardiopulmonary bypass, particularly when using high-resistant oxygenators. This study aimed at investigating whether transoxygenator pressure drop can be considered an independent factor of hemolysis. Additionally, intraoxygenator blood distribution and shear stress were assessed. A low-resistant (LR...

In this paper, we propose a new detection technique for multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems. The proposed scheme combines a lattice reduction (LR) transformation, which makes the channel matrix nearly orthogonal, and then employs a multi-branch (MB) technique with successive interference cancellation (SIC). A single LR transformation is required for the receive filters of...

Introduction/Background The aim of this study was to perform a diagnostic accuracy evaluation the International OvarianTumor Analysis (IOTA) – Assessment Different NEoplasias in adneXa (ADNEX) model for diagnosis borderline ovarian tumours (BOT). Methodology A retrospective patients who underwent gynaecological surgery between 2012 and 2022 with previous adnexal mass by transv...
