introduction: filtering can greatly affect the quality of clinical images. determining the best filter and the proper degree of smoothing can help to ensure the most accurate diagnosis. methods: forty five patient’s data aquired during brain phantom spect studies were reconstructed using filtered back-projection technique. the ramp, shepp-logan, cosine, hamming, hanning, butterworth, metz and w...

the microfiltration 0.2 µm cellulose acetate (ca) membrane was modified by embedding antibacterial silver nano-particles in the membrane pores. this novel technique was developed to enhance the capability of the microfiltration membrane for removing microorganism including bacteria. the prepared membrane was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (sem), energy-dispersive x-ray spectro...

Ultra wideband (UWB) wireless communication has been the subject of extensive research in recent years due to its potential applications and unique capabilities. However, many important aspects of UWB-based communication systems have not yet been thoroughly examined. The area of narrow band communication is well developed. The objective of this paper is to present Ultra Wideband (UWB) communica...

Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) was presented as a promising radio technology. Because of their large bandwidth, UWB networks are supposed able to deliver high data rates at short ranges. But after analyzing measurements many works observed saturation of the number of channel Degrees of Freedom (DoF) versus bandwidth. This motivates the work presented in this paper where we focus on sub space behavior to...
