statement of the problem nowadays in many of the dental radiography centers in iran, three types of intraoral films are being used. there is a controversy about the best film regarding to sensitivity properties. purpose in this study, we aimed to compare sensitivity characteristics and detail recording of intraoral films. material and methods in this experimental study, three types of intraoral...

background: over recent decades, modern protocols of external beam radio¬therapy and radiation techniques such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy (imrt) have been developed. these methods are extremely sensitive to errors in treatment delivery, so that it is essential to apply a high resolution 3d dosimetry system that has high sensitivity and is capable of measuring and verifying the complex ...

The high-frequency performance of the reflector antennas is mainly limited by the surface. It has been shown that distortions on different regions of the reflector surface can have different effects on the radiation performance. In other words, degradation of the radiation pattern due to the presence of surface distortions is sensitive to the location and behavior of the surface distortion prof...

background: drug resistance is widely believed to be an increasingly serious threat to global public health. we have previously reported that short term exposure of microorganisms to diagnostic ultrasound waves could significantly alter their sensitivity to antibiotics. in our previous studies, klebsiella pneumoniae showed major differences in the sensitivity to antibiotics in exposed and non-e...

radiation damage is to a large extent caused by overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ros). radioprotectors are agents or substances that reduce the effects of radiation in healthy normal tissues while maintaining the sensitivity to radiation damage in tumor cells. radioprotectors are agents or substances that reduce the effects of radiation in healthy normal tissues while maintaining the ...

sensitivity analysis to determine variations in evapotranspiration is much important considering a known variation in one of climatic variables. in this study, sensitivity of evapotranspiration from penmann-mantith, penmann-kimberly (1996), penman-kimberly (1972) and penmann (1984)  and hargrivs (1985) approaches to three climatic variations (maximum temperature, wind speed, solar radiation) wa...
