In medical practice, the decision-making process regarding drug dose is critical to patients’ health and recovery. For drugs with narrow therapeutic ranges, the medical doctor decides the quantity (dose amount) and frequency (dose interval) on the basis of ...
Irradiation is known to lead to degradation of mechanical properties of materials. Structural materials for nuclear applications can be affected by helium produced by transmutations. The objectives of this work were: (a) to investigate the effects of He on ...
We develop a high-performance scheme to reconstruct straight-ray tomographic scans. We preserve the quality of the state-of-the-art schemes typically found in traditional computed tomography but reduce the computational cost substantially. Our approach is ...
The decision-making process regarding drug dose, regularly used in everyday medical practice, is critical to patients’ health and recovery. It is a challenging process, especially for a drug with narrow therapeutic ranges, in which a medical doctor decides ...
Percutaneous embolization and surgical repair are the current treatment options for varicocele, but determining method superiority remains controversial. In this retrospective study, we evaluate the technical success, complication and recurrence rates foll ...
Cryo-electron microscopy recently experienced great improvements in structure resolution due to direct electron detectors with improved contrast and fast read-out leading to single electron counting. High frames rates enabled dose fractionation, where a lo ...
The sensitivity of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices to radiation is reviewed, with an emphasis on radiation levels representative of space missions rather than of operation in nuclear reactors. As a purely structural material, silicon has shown ...
Silicon nitride (SiN) micro-and nanomechanical resonators have attracted a lot of attention in various research fields due to their exceptionally high quality factors (Qs). Despite their popularity, the origin of the limiting loss mechanisms in these struc ...
In this study, simulation of solar disinfection of secondary effluents was performed, to assess the dose effects, as instructed by the reciprocity law. A full factorial experimental design on the operational parameters of the process was performed (time, t ...
Radiotherapy is a widely used treatment option in cancer. However, recent evidence suggests that doses of ionizing radiation (IR) delivered inside the tumor target volume, during fractionated radiotherapy, can promote tumor invasion and metastasis. Further ...
