We present cross-correlation analyses of the HEAO 2È10 keV di†use X-ray map with both the combined GB6/Parkes-MIT-NRAO (GB6-PMN) 5 GHz and the FIRST 1.4 GHz radio surveys. The crosscorrelation functions (CCFs) of both radio surveys with the unresolved X-ray background were detected at the 5 p level. While the large angular resolution (3¡) of the X-ray map makes it difficult to separate the cont...

Intussusception is the most common cause of intestinal obstraction in children aged 3 months to 6 years. Complete understanding of its clinical and radiographic manifestations can play a major role in the early diagnosis and treatment and prevents its complications. In this study plain abdominal X-rays of 51 patients with intussusception were evaluated. Suggestive radiographic signs of the dise...

The one-step synthesis and characterization of nanostructured metallic platinum microspheres by a low-pressure flat flame technique is presented here. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analyzed the as-derived powders. Collectively, the results obtained from these analyses confirmed the formation of microsphere...

The use of X-ray radioscopy for in-situ studies of metal foam formation and evolution is reviewed. Selected results demonstrate the power of X-ray radioscopy as diagnostic tool for metal foaming. Qualitative analyses of foam nucleation and evolution, drainage development, issues of thermal contact, mold filling, cell wall rupture and more are given. Additionally, quantitative analyses based on ...
