A high flux thin-film nanocomposite membrane epoxy/ zeolite NaA nanocomposite films prepared by using ultrasonic mixing and spin coating. The synthesized nanocomposites film was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravity analysis (TGA), and FTIR spectroscopy. Water softener and water flux characteristics of the epoxy/ zeolite NaA nanocomposite ...

Thin heteroepitaxial praseodymia films with fluorite structure on Si(111) were annealed under ultra-high vacuum conditions at temperatures in the region of 100 up to 300 °C. Afterward investigations by x-ray diffraction, grazing incidence x-ray diffraction and x-ray reflectometry were performed to obtain information about structural changes of the film during the annealing process. For this rea...

X-ray examination of the chest revealed a large circumscribed area of absent aeration in the central portion of the left lung which extended from the axillary portion of the chest to the hilum, merging with the mediastinal structures. In the lateral projection, this circumscribed area was superimposed over the heart. An aneurysm could not be excluded; the area of diminished aeration was thought...

Polyvinylpyrrolidone  /  Nickel  oxide  (PVP/NiO)  dielectrics  were fabricated  with  sol-gel  method  using  0.2  g  of  PVP  at  different working  temperatures  of  80,  150  and  200  ºC.  Structural  properties and surface morphology of the hybrid films were investigated by X- Ray  diffraction  (XRD)  and  Scanning  Electron Microscope  (SEM) respectively. Energy dispersive X-ray spec...

AlL positive diagnosis of active pulmonary tuberculosis can be made only on obtaining a positive sputum or gastric culture for M tuberculosis. The chest x-ray film and tuberculin skin test1 have been used as screening methods. During the third year after the introduction of the acetylcysteine method of digestion at our facility,* 40 cases of active tuberculosis with chest x-ray films read as ne...

background: conventional tomography used for evaluation of the small areas of the jaws provides acceptable information. it has some advantages of availability, less radiation dose and costin comparison to computed tomography (ct) and cone beam ct. double emulsion film usuallyused for taking tomograms requires less exposure than single emulsion film; on the other hand,the latter provides more sh...

PURPOSE This work investigates the dose-response curves of GAFCHROMIC(®) EBT, EBT2, and EBT3 radiochromic films using synchrotron-produced monochromatic x-ray beams. EBT2 film is being utilized for dose verification in photoactivated Auger electron therapy at the Louisiana State University Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD) synchrotron facility. METHODS Monochromatic beams...

We have developed a new Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) technique by use of reflection geometry for determining particle / pore size distribution in thin film. In order to avoid strong specular reflection, we used offset scan (2θ / θ+δθ) for measuring scattering data. To deal with reflection and refraction at surface and interfaces, we calculated X-ray wave field in the film based on Distor...
