A study to assess the potential exposure to solar UV radiation of expeditioners on Australian Antarctic resupply voyages was carried out over the Austral summers of 2004/2005 to 2006/2007. Subjects wore UVR-sensitive polysulphone (PS) badges on the chest for the duration of their working day, which generally ranged from 5 to 10 h, but could be as long as 14 h. Measurements were carried out duri...

Introduction: The most common cancer in women worldwide is breast and radiotherapy the best treatment choice after mastectomy.1,2 In radiation therapy mastectomy, depending on type of tumor, area removed goes under radiotherapy. Methods: TLD (Thermoluminescence Dosimetry) chips were used this project. Typically, each patient an irradiation 200 cGy during 25 sessions received a total 5000 cGy. R...

This report documents how we improved the TLD framework for real-time object tracking [1] by using a new set of features and modifying the learning algorithm.

One of structural passive control methods is to use Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD). However, because of the nature of the TLD, only one tuning frequency can be created when the water is sloshing. To fix this problem, some installed rotatable baffles can be embedded inside TLD called Variably Baffled TLD (VBTLD) where by changing the angle of the baffles a tuning frequency range is created. This gives ...

There’s Kareem, a 16-year-old Chicago southsider, who loves robots and movies and naturally can’t wait to see the new Transformers film, especially because they shot part of it in his hometown. He struggles in school because he does not understand how those things apply to his interests or to real life, so it’s easy to get bored and tune out. Luckily, he’s been able to pursue his interests thro...

Increased HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) with antiretroviral therapy (ART) rollout may jeopardize therapeutic options, especially in this era of transition to fixed-dose tenofovir-lamivudine-dolutegravir (TLD). We studied acquired HIVDR (ADR) patterns and describe potentially active drugs after first- second-line failure resource-limited settings (RLS) like Cameroon. A laboratory-based study 759 p...

Published on behalf license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) The evolution of status badges presents a challenge to animal communication theory because no obvious production costs prevent low-quality individuals from cheating. From mammals, evidence of visual status badges remains rare with most examples ...

This paper describes preliminary work to develop a cosmic-radiation dosemeter for use by military aircraft crew. The dosemeter is based on a combination of CR-39 etched-track detectors and TLD-700 thermoluminescent detectors. It is intended that the CR-39 be used to assess the neutron dose, while the TLD700 is used to assess the photon and charged particle dose. The sensitivity of CR-39 to the ...

Introduction: In patients with thyroid carcinoma, radiation absorbed doses of the thyroid and surrounding tissues is important to weigh risk and benefit considerations. In nuclear medicine, the accuracy of absorbed dose of internally distributed radionuclides is estimated by different methods such as MIRD and direct method using TLD. The aim of this study is using TLD and a phantom to determine...
