in this paper, the effect of magnetic field on the morphology, structure and magnetic properties of electrodeposited fecu/cu thin films was investigated. the films were deposited on au2pdag/glass substrates using electrodeposition technique in potentiostatic control. the magnetic fields of 5000 and 7000 oe were applied on deposition bath during deposition. two series of thin films were prepared...

Monte Carlo Ray Tracing: MCRT based adjacency effect and nonlinear mixture pixel model is proposed for remote sensing satellite imagery data analysis. Through simulation and actual visible to near infrared radiometer onboard spaceborne data utilizing experiment, the proposed model is confirmed and validated. Therefore, influences due to adjacency effect and nonlinearity of mixed pixel can be ta...

Sub-fossilised remains may still contain highly degraded ancient DNA (aDNA) useful for palaeogenetic investigations. Whether X-ray computed [micro-] tomography ([μ]CT) imaging of these fossils may further damage aDNA remains debated. Although the effect of X-ray on DNA in living organisms is well documented, its impact on aDNA molecules is unexplored. Here we investigate the effects of synchrot...

We consider in this paper the effect of synchrotron self-Compton process on X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts. We find that for a wide range of parameter values, especially for the standard values which imply the energy in the electrons behind the afterglow shock is tens times as that in the magnetic field, the electron cooling is dominated by Compton cooling rather than synchrotron one. Thi...

The effects of including incoherent (bound-electron) and coherent (Rayleigh) scattering in exposure buildup factor calculations for point isotropic gamma ray sources, penetrating a two-layer water-lead shield have been investigated in the gamma ray energy (E?) range of 40 keV to 3 MeV. Incoherent scattering decreases the values of these factors in both layers up to E? ~ 200 keV and the effect i...

background: although it is one of the most toxic nonradioactive elements, mercury is widely used in dental amalgam. mercury is a toxic element which can damage various organs such as central nervous system, renal, respiratory and hematologic systems. the adverse health impacts associated to exposure to some common sources of electromagnetic fields including laptop computers, mobile phones, mri ...

soil samples were collected from seven sites in and around the metropolitan area of mexicocity. the locations were chosen as possible sources of fugitive dusts which contribute to suspended particulate matter in the atmosphere of mexico city. x-ray fluorescence (xrf) was used to determine the concentrations of several major elements (si, k, ca, ti, mn, and fe), as well as of other trace element...

background: a variable resolution x-ray (vrx) ct scanner provides a great increase in the spatial resolution. in vrx ct scanners, the spatial resolution of the system and its field of view (fov) can be changed according to the object size. one of the main factors that limit the spatial resolution of vrx ct scanner is the effect of the x-ray focal spot. materials and methods: a theoretical study...
