Introduction: Assessment of occupational exposure to external radiation and the analysis of associated trends are imperative to observe changes that have taken place over time due to regulatory operations or technological advancements. Herein, we describe the occupational radiation exposure to workers employed in Nuclear Medicine (NM), Radiotherapy (RT), and Diagnostic Radiology (DR) department...

For the Sixth Annual Machine Learning for Signal Processing competition, which is sponsored by Nokia and PASCAL2, entrants were asked to develop a classifier, with optional feature extraction, that uses only electroencephalography (EEG) data collected during an image presentation (visual oddball) task and optimally determines whether each image presented to a user contains or does not contain a...

For instance, page 114, describing one of the approaches to the popliteal fossa: "A plan intending to exploit the rear of any situation solely fro...

SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are an attractive solution for many applications where short time-to-market, low-cost for low-production volumes, and in-the-field-programming ability are important issues. One of the few major disadvantages of SRAM-based FPGAs is the sensitivity to ionizing radiation [1-3]. Indeed, also at sea level, neutrons, originating from the interactions ...

Alchemists, who sought to understand and manipulate the transformations material substances underwent, were challenged in the eighteenth century by attempt to define a rational approach to chemistry. Part of the motivation was to dissociate the emerging investigative techniques of chemical experimentation from the craft tradition associated with alchemical practice. In the 1780s a number of inv...
