According to published data, the absorbed dose used for a CBCT image acquisition with Varian OBI v1.3 can be as high as 100 mGy. In 2008 Varian released a new OBI version (v1.4), which promised to reduce the imaging dose. In this study, absorbed doses used for CBCT image acquisitions with the default irradiation techniques of Varian OBI v1.3 and v1.4 are measured. TLDs are used to derive dose d...

Kinetic data are needed to develop basic understanding of fermentation processes and to permit rational design of continuous fermentation processes. The kinetics of the fermentation of glucose to lactic acid have been studied at six constant pH levels between 4. 5 and 6.0 by measuring the instantaneous rates of bacterial growth and of lactic acid formation throughout each fermentation. It was f...

Previous researches [1,2] on Fused Deposition through Electrochemical Discharge (FDED) process have revealed that the periodic instantaneous current wave form (ICWF) is the characteristic of the process and it is significant to maintain the nature of current waveform in order to have a deposition of consistent metallographic properties. The precise control of process parameters is essential for...
