introduction the use of cut-outs in electron applicators make changes on output, isodose, and percentage depth dose (pdd) curves. these changes and electron beam dose distribution in the form of three-dimensional (3d) can be measured by gel dosimeters. materials and methods dosimetry was performed with and without a square shield (6×6 cm2 field). the energies were 4, 9, and 16 mev and phantom w...

Radiofrequency (RF) shields have been recently developed for the purpose of shielding portions of the patient's body during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. We present an experimental evaluation of a commercially available RF shield in the MRI environment. All tests were performed on 1.5 T and 3.0 T clinical MRI scanners. The tests were repeated with and without the RF shield pres...

Crosstalk in VLSI interconnects is a major constrain in DSM and UDSM technology. Among various strategies followed for its minimization, shield insertion between Aggressor and Victim is one of the prominent options. This paper analyzes the extent of crosstalk in inductively coupled interconnects and minimizes the same through distributed shield insertion. Comparison is drawn between signal volt...

in most of the education systems throughout the world, art is viewed as a subject of study with secondary importance. this is while art, understood in light of its profound impact on the development of human cultures, can perform unique educational functions that are out of the reach of other subjects. all-round education, therefore, is only obtained through an art-reach education program. art...

Introduction My previous note focused on pin 1 problems as an open door for RF into audio equipment. But RF can also enter equipment on the signal conductor(s) if the equipment fails to block it with an effective low pass filter. RF is induced on a shielded balanced pair by at least three mechanisms: • Imbalance in the magnetic coupling between the shield and the two signal conductors (Shield-c...

background: prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (pgnaa) is known as a non-invasive technique capable of measuring elemental concentration in voluminous samples in a short period of time. also it is a valuable diagnostic tool for total body elemental measurements. 252cf and 241am-be sources which are usually used in this method, generate not only neutrons, but also emit high-energy and unwa...

as the main part of a large-scale project, the present study investigated the relationship among reflective thinking, listening anxiety, and listening comprehension of iranian efl learners with regard to their proficiency level. to this end, 223 (106 intermediate and 117 advanced) adult male and female iranian efl learners from a private language institute took part in the study by completing t...
