Abstract:

The National Center of Oncology in Nouakchott is equipped with a linear accelerator which provides two energies in photon regime 6 MV and 18 MV. The basic dosimetric data required for quality of operation, in the clinical routine of the accelerator for photon beams are percentage depth dose (PDD) curves and beam profile (BP) curves. The aim of this work is to measure the percentage depth dose (PDD) and beam/dose profile (BP) for 6 MV and 18 MV photon beams for different field sizes and for different Skin-Source-Distance (SSD), and to compare the measured results with the results calculated by

Materials with atomic numbers (Z) ranging from 25 to 90 are considered in this analysis. In addition, the energy spectrum for a number of external beam x-ray sources and common radionuclides are evaluated. For a nanoparticle concentration of 5 mg/ml, the DEF is < 1.05

Abstract:

The purposes of this research are designing the prototype of DMFC, consist of graphite and aluminium cell stacks and MEA with difference Nafion content. Cell stack has active area of 6.5 cm2, and single serpentine flow field. MEAs were fabricated using Nafion membrane 117 (DuPont), gas diffusion layer (GDL) carbon cloth, and commercial catalysts E-Tek, Pt/C for the cathode side and Pt-Ru/C for the anode. Catalysts loading on the anode are 3 and 4 mgPt-Ru/cm2 and on the cathode is 3 mg/cm2. Dry Nafion content of 20 %-wt and 40 %-wt were used in this experiment. MEA fabrication was done by brush

Abstract:

Although previous work has implicated activation of ATP-sensitive K+ currents (IK,ATP) in action potential duration (APD) shortening and increased cellular K+ efflux during hypoxia, ischemia, and metabolic inhibition, no prior study has directly assessed the tissue levels of ATP at which IK,ATP activates in intact cardiac muscle. Accordingly, we correlated changes in tissue high-energy phosphate levels during substrate-free hypoxia with activation of IK,ATP in intact voltage-clamped rabbit papillary muscles. During 10 min of hypoxia, the outward K+ current measured in response to a voltage-cla

Abstract:

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) affects approximately one-quarter of the world’s adult population, and no effective therapeutic drugs are available. Poria cocos is a fungus used as a herb and food nutrient for centuries as well as for MAFLD treatment. Exosome-like nanovesicles have many pharmacological activities; however, studies on the effects of Poria cocos-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (PCELNs) on MAFLD are lacking. Therefore, our study aimed at identifying the effects and mechanism of action of PCELNs on MAFLD. PCELNs were isolated by ultracentrifugation a

Purpose This study analysed the sensitivity of the field size from variations in the target volume dimensions, depth, and position. The variations in the target volume analysis were used to determine the width of the field size. Thus, the quality control of the radiation beam can be obtained.

Variations in the dimension of the target volume were modelled in 10×10×10 cm3, 10×12×10 cm3 , 10.2×10×10.2 cm3, and 15×15×15 cm3. Beam parameters use one beam of irradiation on the cen

Abstract:

When electrons transfer across the electrode/electrolyte interface, a temperature variation occurs because of the heat generated in the process. This heat is the sum of the heat contributions in an electrochemical reaction, which includes the Electrochemical Peltier Heat (EPH), the overpotential heat and the Joule effect. EPH is the reversible heat effect observed at the electrode interface by the flow of an electric current [1]. From the EPH, thermodynamic state functions of electrochemical processes can be calculated. Considering the heat effects at the electrode-electrolyte interface during

Abstract:

Prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) results in oxidative damage in the diaphragm; however, it is unclear whether this MV-induced oxidative injury occurs rapidly or develops slowly over time. Furthermore, it is unknown whether both soluble (cytosolic) and insoluble (myofibrillar) proteins are equally susceptible to oxidation during MV. These experiments tested two hypotheses: 1) MV-induced oxidative injury in the diaphragm occurs within the first 6 h after the initiation of MV; and 2) MV is associated with oxidative modification of both soluble and insoluble proteins.

Traditional radiation therapy is hindered by limitations in dose delivery and the risk of over-irradiation, which can harm healthy tissues surrounding tumors. Spatially fractionated and intensity-modulated radiation therapies have emerged as promising techniques to mitigate these issues by reducing damage to healthy tissues. This study explores the potential of enhancing radiation therapy's therapeutic efficacy through spatial fractionation of X-ray beams, a technique that can significantly increase radiation efficiency by reducing the dose load on healthy tissues.

Proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs) have drawn attention among various hydrogen production technologies due to their zero-emission, high conversion efficiency, high hydrogen purity (>99.99%), and quick response under dynamic operation.1,2 With these auspicious characteristics in PEMWEs, they are believed to produce 40 % of green hydrogen by 2050 among all electrolyzer technologies. Nonetheless, many bottlenecks within PEMWEs still hinder their broader commercialization. Iridium oxide is the most widely used oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst at the anode. More
