Attractivity of robotic high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is based largely on the non-invasive, extremely precise nature of this high-tech robotic therapy as well as its clean, radiation free, surgical, but nevertheless, bloodless character. Today, in urological oncology, HIFU is used clinically as a therapeutic tool for the treatment of prostate cancer. Experimentally it is investigated...

energy and mass transfer investigations in thermal processing of fruits serve as a breakthrough in the design and scale up of drying systems. diffusivity characteristics and specific energy consumption for drying of fig fruit in a laboratory scale microwave dryer were assessed. several intervals for microwave power intensity including 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 w g-1, and 6 levels of power on-off ...

background: most of the cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by doing regular physical exercises and using herbal supplements.the present study is aimed at assessing ginger supplement and high?intensity interval training (hiit) on inflammatory indices contributing to atherosclerosis in overweight women. materials and methods: the present study is a randomized, experimental,and controlled on...

the present research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of high intensity interval and medium continuous training on anaerobic and aerobic power female basketball players. the research method was quasi-experimental with pretest and posttest, and included all female basketball players in firoozkooh city, tehran province, iran in 2015. twenty female basketball players were enr...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the time course of leptin, adiponectin, and resting energy expenditure (REE) responses in overweight elderly males after acute resistance exercise protocols of various intensity configurations. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Forty inactive men (65-82 years) were randomly assigned to one of four groups (n = 10/group): control, low-intensity resistance exercise, moderate-inte...

well-designed lighting decreases accidents and diseases of eyes and can increase productivity and concentration. increase of energy price and a high proportion of electric lighting energy consumption in buildings due to defects in designing and maintenance led to desirable lighting to be reduced. one of our challenges in providing health and quality of lighting is lack of economic justification...

We present the design, performance, and initial activation of Mobile Ultrafast High Energy Laser Facility, a 5 TW near-infrared laser source located on multi-km test range at Kennedy Space Center. The system is compact, readily transportable, provides robust, tunable output suitable for long studies high intensity propagation. supporting testing infrastructure, which includes stand-alone beam d...
