background: radiation therapy  uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. photoneutron contamination and induced radioactivity of high energy therapeutic photon beams are considered as the main source of occupational exposure to radiation therapists who works with linear accelerators operating above 10 mv. materials and methods: the gamma dose rates were measured after termination of diff...

in this research, we have developed cheap recyclable and task-specific acidic ionic liquids (ails) 1-hydrogen-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate [hmim]hso4, 1-hydrogen-3-methylimidazolium chloride [hmim]cl, 2-pyrrolidonium hydrogensulfate [hnhp]hso4 and applied them in acid catalyzed synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives from 1,2-phenylendiamines and 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds. the products coul...

the knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with barbituric acid, dimedone and malononitrile occurred in the presence of bf3/nano-γ-al2o3 at room temperature in ethanol. this catalyst is characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), thermal gravimetric analysis (tga), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and energy-disper...

objectives : optimum viewing conditions facilitate identification of radiographic details and decrease the need for retakes, patients’ costs and radiation dose. this study sought to evaluate the effects of different viewing conditions on radiographic interpretation. materials and methods: this diagnostic study was performed by evaluating radiograph of a 7mm-thick aluminum block, in which 10 hol...

Adaptation of the display dynamics for monitoring of controlled dynamical processes 11:00 Tiberiu Alexandru Antal and Adalbert Antal. The use of genetic algorithms for the design of mechatronic transmissions with improved operating conditions

A novel analysis method for binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) is presented. It is based on the analysis of ear canal signals with continuous wavelet transform (CWT). Then, the crosswavelet transform (XWT) is used for detection of the direct sound and individual reflections from a BRIR. The new method seems to time-localize the reflections quite accurately. In addition, the proposed analys...

The last two decades have seen a paradigm shift in the treatment of vascular related diseases from once traditional open surgical repairs to the entire vascular tree being amenable to percutaneous interventions. Neither the classic operating room nor the conventional angiography suite is optimal for both open surgery and endovascular procedures. Important issues for the vascular hybrid operatin...
