introduction: despite widespread use of 67gallium for lymphoma evaluation, timing of imaging after injection is a matter of controversy and to the extent of our knowledge no direct comparison has been made between early and delayed gallium images. we aimed to compare 24 and 48 hours post injection planar gallium imaging for evaluation of lymphoma recurrence. methods: 255 patients suspicious of...

Evaluation of active earth pressure in seismic condition is one of the important problems of geotechnical earthquake engineering. In this study the static and seismic active earth pressure exerted by a homogeneous backfill behind a rigid retaining wall is evaluated using Horizontal Slice Method (HSM). Both cohesionless and cohesive soils are considered using c- soil in the formulation. The fai...

in this paper by using concepts of graph theory, forces method and substructure ing method for analysis of structures, some methods have been introduced for optimal analysis of structures in a large scale, using substructuring method. planar rigid frames assuming linear behavior and small deformations, have been optimal analyzed, by using forces method. thus, a fortran power station computation...

Submarine landslides are a major marine geohazard affecting resilience of offshore infrastructure and coastal urban centers. Attention has previously been paid to quantifying post-failure dynamics catastrophic submarine debris flows their consequences. However, pre-failure initiation growth small slip surface evolving into large landslide still less understood. This study aims explore the physi...

In this paper various layered planar periodic structures which provide miniaturization of planar antennas are proposed and discussed. The proposed designs are based on two concepts, reactive impedance surfaces and complementary periodic structures. In the proposed structures, complementary periodic rings and slots are patterned on the intermediate boundaries of the dielectric layers. A patch an...

Time-of-flight diffraction method (ToFD) is an amplitude-independent sizing method which is based on the measurement of time-of-flight of defect tip diffracted waves. Although ToFD can measure through-wall length of defect accurately, this method is not capable of measuring horizontal defect size. In this paper, a new ToFD method for evaluating horizontal planar defects is presented. The finite...

As the core carrier of information storage, a semiconductor memory device is basic product with large volume that widespread in integrated circuit industry. With rapid development manufacturing processes and materials, internal structure has gradually shifted from 2D planar packaging to 3D meet industry demands for high-frequency, high-speed, large-capacity devices low power consumption. Howeve...

This paper presents the application of model-based and data-driven approaches for prognostics and health management (PHM) of embedded planar capacitors under elevated temperature and voltage conditions. An embedded planar capacitor is a thin laminate that serves both as a power/ground plane and as a parallel plate capacitor in a multilayered printed wiring board (PWB). These capacitors are typi...
