-Enhancement of CCNU cytotoxicity by misonidazole (MISO) was studied in three tumours and two normal tissues in the mouse. The 3 experimental tumours (SCCVII/St, EMT6 and KHT) showed very different sensitivities to CCNU alone, but MISO enhanced the cell killing in ech case. The effect was not always dose-modifying, so that the CCNU dose range for the greatest enhancement was different in each o...

The problem under investigation contains a computational simulation of a specific heat exchanger with complex geometry fins. The problem solved is potentially interesting for researchers and engineers working on solar collectors and aerospace industry. It is known that heat transfer enhancement can be achieved by creating longitudinal vortices in the flow. These vortices can be generated by arc...

This paper presents some image processing techniques that can be used for radiographic image enhancement. Contrast enhancement, filtering, denoising, and interpolation processes are carried out in this paper. Contrast enhancement is carried out using adaptive histogram equalization. Filtering is carried out using median, Wiener, Lee, and Kuan filters. Wavelet and curvelet transforms are used fo...

Heterogeneous wireless sensor network (H-WSN) consists of sensor nodes with different ability, such as different computing power and sensing range. In this Research paper, the improved enhance coverage overlapping sensing ratio (I-ECOSR) scheme for data aggregation in grid based WSNs is proposed. Here, the focus was on two main problems i.e. in the area coverage problem, the coverage performanc...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Most intramedullary astrocytomas have been known to exhibit at least some enhancement on MR imaging regardless of cell type or tumor grade. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of nonenhancing intramedullary astrocytomas through a retrospective study within our institutions and a systematic review of the medical literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS A tot...

Numerical investigation has been carried out on heat transfer and friction factor characteristics of copper-water nanofluid flow in a constant heat-fluxed tube with the existence of new configuration of vortex generator using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. Two types of swirl flow generator: Classical twisted tape (CTT) and Parabolic-cut twisted tape (PCT) with a different twist ...

background evaluation of the craniofacial bones is the oldest method to measure the facial proportion ratio in orthodontics. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of emboss enhancement on the reliability of landmark identification in digital lateral cephalometric images. materials and methods ten digital lateral cephalograms were selected from the archive of an oral an...
