Objective(s): Renography is used for the diagnostic evaluation of pediatric patients with a suspected obstruction of urinary tract or impaired renal function. The recommended dose for children have been released by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine, Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, and Japanese Society of Nuclear Medicine. Since acquisition counts in dynamic scintig...

Abstract The temperature of maximum pyrolysis yield (known as Tmax) can be used to determine the level thermal alteration in sedimentary organic matter; higher Tmax values represent alteration. is commonly measured on petroleum source rocks or similar sediments with high carbon contents. It would desirable measure volcanic because they have complex patterns However, often low total contents and...

The chronopharmacokinetics of paracetamol was studied in six male volunteers. Serum concentrations of paracetamol were determined after a single oral dose of 1 g, on three occasions, spaced at least 1 week apart. Plasma drug concentration vs time curves were obtained after dosage at 08.00 h (Day 1), 14.00 h (Day 2) and 20.00 h (Day 3), under standardized conditions. Pharmacokinetic parameters c...

The frequency of heat events is likely to increase due global climate change, posing an increasing risk wheat production. To optimize crop management strategies for coping with future climates, it crucial quantify the high-temperature occurrence during cropping seasons. Here, sixty-six years (1955~2020) meteorological data reproductive growth were collected from six stations in Huaibei Plain An...

The effects of contact conditions at the wire–die interface on temperature distribution specimen and die are investigated to understand wire drawing process. Finite element analysis experiments performed analyze a drawn based different using low-carbon steel wire. maximum (Tmax) decreases as heat transfer coefficient increases, whereas that increases with coefficient. Tmax thermal conductivity ...

Alterations in the physical properties of dermal collagen by streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus were investigated in young adult Lewis rats by mounting standardized rings of tail skin on an Instron Universal Testing Apparatus and measuring the thermally induced isometric contraction and stress at rupture of the tissue. Diabetes significantly increased the maximum tension (Tmax) of the con...

In this paper we consider bi-criteria scheduling problem on parallel machines which optimizes the number of tardy jobs with the condition of primary criterion of Tmax remains optimized. The processing times of jobs are uncertain that is not known exactly and only estimated values are given. This leads to the use of fuzzy numbers for representing these imprecise values. Here, we use triangular f...

Methods: 22 female collegiate varsity rowers completed testing immediately before and after their competitive fall season. Lean body mass (LBM) and body fat percentage (BF%) were determined by dual energy xray absorptiometry (DXA). VO2max and time to exhaustion (Tmax) were determined during maximal rowing ergometer testing followed by 3 minutes of active recovery at 70W. Heart rate was measured...

We propose a unified approach to disk-based search for deterministic, non-deterministic, and probabilistic (MDP) settings. We provide the design of an external Value Iteration algorithm that performs at most O(lG · scan(|E|) + tmax · sort(|E|)) I/Os, where lG is the length of the largest back-edge in the breadth-first search graph G having |E| edges, tmax is the maximum number of iterations, an...
