The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of lung heterogeneity inside a soft tissue phantom on percentage depth dose (PDD). PDD curves were obtained experimentally using LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100) thermoluminescent detectors and applying Eclipse treatment planning system algorithms Batho, modified Batho (M-Batho or BMod), equivalent TAR (E-TAR or EQTAR), and anisotropic analytical alg...

In order to study the role of metal sodium in spray pyrolysis biomass tar, this paper designs a sodium-containing naphthalene system (NSS) and pure (PNS) using as carbon source chloride donor for comparison. This enables an exploration effect on initial nucleation fumes formed by reaction molecular dynamics (ReaxFF MD). The simulation results show that NSS undergoes reactions earlier faster tha...

Pyrolysis of agricultural waste to produce fuel gas involves formation of tars as noxious by-products. In this paper the qualitative analysis of tars formed during pyrolysis of rice husks is presented, based on identification by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and interpolation of retention times on a polyaromatic hydrocarbon index scale. The influence of some reaction parameters on produc...

A novel C-Ni-SiC composite using sawtooth-like SiC as support and carbon as modified material was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and thermochemical pyrolysis. As a supercapacitor electrode, it exhibits very high specific capacitance (1780 F g(-1)) and excellent cycling performance (>96% for 2500 cycles).
