7.4 g/cm3 for LSO) and its attenuation length at 511 keV (0.93 cm vs. 1.2 cm) is superior to any other scintillator used in PET scanners to date. Due to the high stopping power, the thickness can be significantly reduced with no loss of detection efficiency compared to L(Y)SO. The ...
The twin-spar aluminum frame and superbike-braced swingarm help deliver agile handling and great road-holding ability that will go the distance. Visually stunning, the trellis-style sub-frame design creates secure attachment points for the optional, high capacity 25.7L saddlebags, while allowing f...
Triumph’s Tiger Sport 660 is the new definition of triple powered versatility, with its 660cc triple engine performance advantages, class-leading power and specification, plus great long-distance touring capability. Just like the Trident 660, launched to international acclaim last year, the new Tig...
The method computes the Hamming distance between the present encoded bus value and the next data value. If the distance is greater than K/2, then the transmitter inverts the next value and signals the inversion with invert = 1. Otherwise, the next value is not inverted and invert = 0. ...
This study develops an improved Feldkamp–Davis–Kress (FDK) reconstruction algorithm using non-local total variation (NLTV) denoising and a cubic B-spline interpolation-based backprojector to enhance the image quality of low-dose cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The NLTV objective function is...
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether tibial tuberosity–posterior cruciate ligament (TT-PCL) distance is representative of the true lateralization of tibial tuberosity in isolation and its influence on the accuracy of the Akagi line and medial third of the tibial tuberosity (MTTT)....
The three values for E7 represent results of the three extreme experiments on humidity, elevation and distance to cities, respectively. determine optical properties of clouds, thus their interactions with radiation. With the aid of additional channels, better retrieval under cloudy conditions might be ...
Here, by a combination of neutron scattering and molecular dynamics simulation, we present the temperature-dependent atomic structure variation of polystyrene at the glass formation, free volume and cooperative rearrangement. When it is close to glass formation, the polymer is confined in tubes, whose...
Therefore, from multiple perspectives, the factors influential to the energy efficiency of thermal power industry were identified. Based on the economic, social and environmental factors, a combination model with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Malmquist index was constructed to evaluate the total-...
From the cardiovascular exercise gained from walking the course to the mental stimulation of strategizing each shot, golf offers a unique combination of physical activity and mental challenge. Additionally, the social aspects of the game foster community and camaraderie, making it a well-rounded ...
