background: an effective polymer gel dosimeter can be fabricated by varying the composition of its chemical components. materials and methods: the magat gel dosimeter formulations that used different compositions of methacrylic acid (maa) and gelatin were extensively investigated in the present study according to the r2–dose response and r2–dose sensitivity. the irradiation of magat gel was per...

in this study cognitive therapy based on self-talking technique for reducing the rate of social phobia and factors of interpretation of events related to self and others have been noticed.sample group was 8 women from a 16-person group suffering from social phobia , selected at random from among 27 people referring to counseling clinics.their disorder has been detected by using the instrument o...

satellite thermal control ensures safe operating temperature ranges for satellite components throughout the mission life. effects of altitude, spin, and position of satellite radiator(s) on the thermal control of a small low earth orbit (leo) satellite have been studied. results show that change in satellite altitude, in the range considered here, does not produce critical thermal conditions. h...

Immobilised titanium dioxide (TiO2) in membrane structures has recently become attractive. This is due to the elimination of the separation step after the process of photocatalytic degradation. The efficiency of the TiO2 surface area exposed to UV light as the main important parameter needs to be considered. The immobilisation of TiO2 nanoparticles in the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane...

objective: social anxiety disorder (sad) is defined as a constant fear of being embarrassed or negatively evaluated in social situations or while doing activities in the presence of others. several studies have examined the role of certain variables that might predict response to treatment and may affect treatment outcome. the purpose of this study was to identify predictive variables of change...

Traditional artillery guidance can significantly improve the attack accuracy and overall combat efficiency of projectiles, which makes it more adaptable to the information warfare of the future. Obviously, the accurate measurement of artillery spin rate, which has long been regarded as a daunting task, is the basis of precise guidance and control. Magnetoresistive (MR) sensors can be applied to...

the synthesis, spectroscopy and magnetic characterization of five new dinuclear copper(ii) complexes are described. all five compounds have the general formula [cu2(l)4(o-r)2](cl)2 or [cu2(l)2(cl)2](cl)2, in which r = ch3 or h, l=2, 3 or 4-pyridinemethanol as l2, l3 or l4, respectively. the title compounds consist of dinuclear units with bridging methoxo groups in [cu2(l4)4(o-ch3)2](cl)2, hydro...

Optimization of spin-coat parameters of a spin-ondielectric (SOD) onto a substrate is investigated using a two level fractional factorial design of experiment. Five parameters, spin rate, spin time, number of spin coats, volume of SOD, and the softbake temperature were varied to determine the main effect on the thickness of the deposited layers as a quality check. The layer thickness was measur...

The diffusion in the magnetic dipolar field around a sphere is considered. The diffusion is restricted to the space between two concentric spheres, where the inner sphere is the source of the magnetic dipolar field. Analytical expressions for the CPMG transverse relaxation rate as well as the free induction decay and the spin echo time evolution are given in the Gaussian approximation. The infl...
