A radiation screening chamber for medical radiation therapy, having radiation-absorbing walls (30), floor, and ceiling, and at least one door (27), is provided with a natural light source, and a lock-less access to treatment area located inside the chamber. The chamber has at least one ...
• Principal phenylethanoids consist of gly- cosides, and salidroside as the most active tyrosol glycoside, being associated to- gether with rosavins to the anti-depressive and anxiolytic effects (Maslowa, 1994; To- lonen, 2003). Other phenylethanoids have also been isolated but with today ...
Natural radiation is embedded in environment and humans are continuously being exposed to it due to every day interaction with the environment just as the heat rays from the sun and light1,2. For instance, cosmic radiations are part of occurrence of background radiation, however it has tendency...
In urban areas, the structural measures to mitigate the effect of pluvial or surface flooding caused by rainfall independent of an overflowing water body consist of storm water drainage system, comprising catch pits, manholes, storm sewers, culverts, detention ponds, and pumping stations [105]. Fi...
Hydrolysable tannins contain glucose or polyhydric alcohols esterified with gallic acid (e.g., gallotannins) or hexahydroxydiphenic acid (e.g., ellagitannins) while condensed tannins consist of flavolans or polymeric parts of flavan-3-ols (catechins) and/or flavan 3:4-diols (leucoanthocyanidins...
Let a 1D image, sampled at N points, consist of M+1 regions of uniform intensity, such that the intensity profile of the jth region is(1)Ij(x)=0x<xj,x>xj+1Îjxj≤x≤xj+1where the constant Îj>0 is Îj=Ī+Ij*, with Ī being the mean intensity across the image...
A gout diet can help decrease the amount of uric acid build up in the blood and decrease gout flair ups. A gout diet consist of foods low in purines, weight loss, healthy eating habits, increase foods that control uric acid levels. ...
However, since the invention of electric lighting, the sun will still be the most direct light source during the day, but at night, we have introduced many "suns" and thus animals now have to contend with light at unnatural times and locations. Both the sun and anthropogenic lighting have ...
Even though organic-rich shales mainly consist of three mineral groups; silicates (mainly quartz, feldspar and mica), clay, and carbonates, they appear heterogeneous in composition due to their varying degrees of organic-richness. Therefore, it is important to determine the bulk mineralogical ...
country performances in the relevant field. This study’s results highlight future research trends and significant gaps in the areas of asset management, infrastructure management, natural gas pipelines, and BIM-GIS integration. In particular, this study demonstrates the critical importance of asset ...
