Background: Small-field dosimetry remains an open challenge globally. Thus, it is crucial to consider adequate reference codes of practice for the performance dosimetry. Furthermore, as part good clinical practice, implementation new implies development a audit program. In this work, pilot dosimetric protocol established measuring absolute dose in water small fields using micro-TLDs LiF:Mg,Ti d...

In this paper, we present a novel approach to design and analyze IP micro-mobility protocols. The functionality of micro mobility protocols is partitioned into parameterized, relatively independent, building blocks. We study the requirements and design options for the building blocks by taking into consideration a wide variety of operation scenarios, including varied support from the infrastruc...

This paper aims to establish an Arduino and IoT-based Hierarchical Multi-Agent System (HMAS) for management of loads’ side with incentive approach in a micro-grid. In this study, the performance of the proposed algorithm in a micro-grid has been verified. The micro-grid contains a battery energy storage system (BESS) and different types of loads known as residential consumer (RC), commercial co...

background: recently different studies suggested that discontinuation of gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogue (gnrha) at beginning of ovarian stimulation (improvement of ovarian response to gonadotrophins) may have some benefit to poor responder patients in invitro fertilization (ivf) cycles. objective:the efficacy of gnrha stop protocol in poor responder patients in ivf cycles was assessed...

objective: this study was conducted to compare the results of fixed versus flexible gnrh antagonist protocols in controlled ovarian stimulation for intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) in patients with pcos. materials and methods: a randomized clinical trial was performed on 100 pcos women, who were admitted to a tertiary infertility clinic and were candidate for ivf/icsi. they were divided...

Abstract Background This study aims to review chest computed tomography (CT) scanning parameters which are utilized evaluate patients for COVID-19-induced pneumonia. Also, some of radiation dose reduction techniques in CT would be mentioned, because using these or low-dose protocol can decrease the burden on population. Main body Chest scan play a key diagnostic role COVID-19 patients. Addition...

Abstract Micro- and nanoplastics (MNP) are ubiquitous, but little is known about the risks they pose to human health. Currently available data of limited use for developing relevant risk assessments due poor quality control, lack a standardised approach particle characterisation environmental analysis, test materials that do not reflect those found in environment. A set well-characterised MNP w...
