The diffuse sky emission in 7 spectral bands between 2 and 4.6 microns has been observed with a cooled balloonborne IR telescope (TRIP). The results, reported here, confirm state-of-the-art atmospheric models for the continuum emission at λ > 3μm and for the OH component at λ < 2.3μm. On the other hand, excess flux in the 2.3 to 2.5μmatmospheric window is found at a level of λIλ ' 1.5− 2 10−10 ...

PURPOSE To compare radiation dose and image quality using predefined narrow phase window versus complete phase window with dose modulation during R-R using 320-row MDCTA. METHODS 114 patients underwent coronary CTA study using 320-row MDCT scanner. 87 patients with mean age (61 + 13 years), mean BMI (29 + 6), and mean heart rate (HR) (58 + 7 bpm) were imaged at predefined 66-80% R-R interval ...

The propagation of electromagnetic radiation is affected by three major phenomena: absorption, scattering, and turbulence. Absorption by molecular water vapor is the dominant mechanism of tropospheric attenuation at millimeter and infrared wavelengths, especially in the marine environment. Therefore, the understanding and accurate modeling of absorption by this molecule are important to atmosph...

Drugs that have narrow absorption window in the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) will have poor absorption. For these drugs, gastro-retentive drug delivery systems offer the advantages in prolonging the gastric emptying time. Floating and sustained release tablets are developed by using a combination of hydrophilic polymer (Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) and effervescent substance (Sodium bicarbon...

The escape of Brownian motion through a narrow absorbing window in an otherwise reflecting boundary of a domain is a rare event. In the presence of a deep potential well, there are two long time scales, the mean escape time from the well and the mean time to reach the absorbing window. We derive a generalized Kramers formula for the mean escape time through the narrow window.

Recent technological and scientific research has been devoted to the development of rate-controlled drug delivery system overcome physiological adversities such as unpredictable gastric emptying times residence time. FDDS are particular interest drugs that locally active have narrow absorption window in stomach. offers numerous advantages, specially having GIT, primary stomach, Prolonged retent...

Novel drug delivery system overcomes the physiological problems of gastric retention by decreasing fluctuations in blood drug concentration with consequent reduction in undesirable toxicity and poor efficiency. Incorporation of drug in controlled release gastroretentive dosage forms which can remain in the gastric region for several hours would significantly prolong the gastric residence time o...

The potentiality of millimter-wave (mm-wave) double-drift region (DDR) impact avalanche transit time (IMPATT) diodes based on a wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor material, Gallium Phosphide (GaP) has been explored in this paper. A non-sinusoidal voltage excited (NSVE) large-signal simulation method has been used to study the DC and high frequency characteristics of DDR GaP IMPATTs dsigned to ope...
