Manufacture, characterization and proton irradiation effects of 12C and 13C thick targets
(Springer, 2021-04)
Abstract: Alternative sources of neutron production other than nuclear fission reactions are important priorities in medical and nuclear applications due to costs, safety and ease of operation. In this work, 12C and 13C ...
Water adsorption and rheological properties of full-fat and low-fat cocoa-based confectionery coatings
(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2018-07)
Growth in consumer demand for healthier and/or reduced calorie foods often brings with it the requirement to match the performance of existing products. Cocoa-based coatings are widely used in food manufacturing and low-fat ...
Effects of third generation beta-blockers, atenolol or amlodipine on blood pressure variability and target organ damage in spontaneously hypertensive rats
(Lippincott Williams, 2020-03)
Background: b-blockers are no longer considered as firstline antihypertensive drugs due to their lower cardioprotection. Method: Considering the differences in the pharmacological properties of b-blockers, the present work ...
Ion acceleration from microstructured targets irradiated by high-intensity picosecond laser pulses
(American Physical Society, 2020-08)
Structures on the front surface of thin foil targets for laser-driven ion acceleration have been proposed to increase the ion source maximum energy and conversion efficiency. While structures have been shown to significantly ...
TRPV4 mediates flow-induced increases in intracellular Ca in medullary thick ascending limbs
(Wiley, 2015-07)
Medullary thick ascending limbs (mTAL) regulate Na balance and therefore blood pressure. We previously showed that cell swelling and luminal flow activates the mechanosensitive channel TRPV4 in mTAL. AIM: We hypothesized ...
Reference Intervals and Percentile Curves of Echocardiographic Left Ventricular Mass, Relative Wall Thickness and Ejection Fraction in Healthy Children and Adolescents
(Springer, 2018-10)
Despite the clinical utility of echocardiography to measure cardiac target organ injury (TOI) there are scarcities of data about the reference intervals (RIs) and percentiles of left ventricular (LV) mass (LVM) and derived ...
Optimized EDXRF system for simultaneous detection of gold and silver nanoparticles in tumor phantom
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-12-24)
An energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence system (EDXRF) was optimized for simultaneous detection of gold and silver nanoparticles inside water-equivalent phantoms applied to theranostics. The optimization process was carried ...
Charge Transfer in Low-Energy Collisions of Protons with a Thick C 60 Film
(American Chemical Society, 2020-01)
Charge-exchange processes in collisions between H+ projectiles and a three-monolayer C60 film grown on Cu(111) are experimentally and theoretically analyzed for a wide range of energies (2?8 keV) in the low-energy regime. ...
Magnetic properties of Zn-ferrites obtained from multilayer film deposited by sputtering
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2013-08)
Epitaxial ZnFe2O4 thin films were deposited on monocrystalline MgO substrate by dc-sputtering. Ferrites were grown from Zn-O and Fe-O multilayers starting from metallic targets in oxygen atmosphere. The number and thickness ...
Computer modelling of RF ablation in cortical osteoid osteoma: Assessment of the insulating effect of the reactive zone
(Informa Healthcare, 2016-02-05)
Abstract: Purpose: The aim was to study by computer simulations the insulating role of the reactive zone surrounding a cortical osteoid osteoma (OO) in terms of electrical and thermal performance during radiofrequency ...
