Lobate debris aprons (LDA) are lobate-shaped aprons surrounding scarps and isolated massifs that are concentrated in the vicinity of the northern Dichotomy Boundary on Mars. LDAs have been interpreted as (1) ice-cemented talus aprons undergoing viscous flow, (2) local debris-covered alpine-like glaciers, or (3) remnants of the collapse of a regional retreating ice sheet. We investigate the plau...

In the effort to combat climate change, CO2 emissions of aviation sector must be reduced. The traffic caused by numerous types ground vehicles on airport aprons currently contributes those as typically operate with combustion engines, which is why an electrification has already begun. While stationary conductive charging current standard technology, dynamic wireless might attractive technologic...

undesired radiation exposure to caregivers is an important problem in radioiodine therapy in thyroid carcinoma patients, especially when patient is non-ambulatory. special precautions are needed to keep the exposure to caregivers low when higher dose of radioiodine is necessary. here we present a case-report of a 74-year old male patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma with local invasion and ...

Ice aprons are poorly studied and not well-defined thin ice bodies adhering to high altitude steep rock faces, but present in most Alpine-type mountain environments worldwide. This study aims precisely define based on a detailed analysis of their topographical characteristics the Mont Blanc massif (western European Alps). For this, we accurately identified mapped 423 using combination high-reso...

[1] The Nilosyrtis Mensae region is important among dichotomy boundary fretted terrain outcrops, as it provides evidence of overprinting of ancient landscapes by a suite of glacial features, providing a composite view of the variety of midlatitude glacial modification processes that can occur during recent Martian ice ages. On the basis of a series of criteria developed for the identification o...

This study ranked the cost-effectiveness of health interventions in the metal working industry in a developing country. Data were based on 82 034 workers of the Northern region of Mexico. Effectiveness was measured through 'healthy life years' (HeaLYs) gained. Costs were estimated per worker according to type and appropriate inputs from selected health interventions. 'Hand' was the anatomical r...

Purpose Certification of the X-ray shielding garment is based on attenuation testing flat material samples. We investigated difference effectiveness compared to realistic use when worn body a staff person. Methods Attenuation factors protective aprons have been evaluated for several clinical scenarios with Monte Carlo (MC) calculations ICRP female reference model and an experimental setup. The ...
