Radiotracer
Radiotracer Radiotracers (radiopharmaceuticals) are combinations of a drug or a biologically active compound which acts as a vehicle for targeted delivery and a radioisotope for localization purposes. The use of radiotracers in nuclear imaging is a non-invasive method...Bone microarchitecture and structure in patients with AS
Bone microarchitecture and structure in patients with AS Previous studies on bone microarchitecture and structure in patients with AS Not much is known about the microarchitecture of bone in AS. In 1992, Devogelaer and colleagues studied 10 patients with AS by using...Bone imaging
Bone imaging Newer bone imaging techniques With the advances in medical imaging, it is now possible to determine bone microarchitecture and strength in a precise manner (Table 6 and 7). The novel technique called HRpQCT is now being widely used for studying bone...Diagnosis of bone loss in AS
Diagnosis of bone loss in AS Use of DXA in AS Currently there is no accurate measure of overall bone strength. BMD measured by DXA is utilized as a surrogate measure of bone strength. However, osteoporosis is characterized by compromised bone strength and high...Assessing Potential Diesel Exhaust Exposure
introduction According to The Bureau of Labor Statistics 1,625,290 workers in the United States are employed as heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers . Commercial truck driving is among occupations with potential exposure to high levels of diesel exhaust (DE) or...Telecommunication Industry
Telecommunication Industry Spurned by the explosion of the internet, the ever-increasing need for faster multimedia information transmission has created a large demand for expansive cable networks. The telecom industry, as stated before, is built upon a range of cable...Making Sustainable Fiber Optic
introduction The planning, development and implementation of a sprawling urban city is no easy task. For a moment, consider the modern metropolitan city perhaps in which you may currently reside; at some point, a city planner considered the effects of each additional...Hidroaysen And Patagonia
introfuction In 2006, amid a national energy crisis, Chilean utility companies Colbún and Endesa S.A. announced a joint venture called HidroAysén, a hydroelectric project proposing to construct five megadams on the Baker and Pascua rivers in Chile’s southernmost...Virginia Craft Beer and Winery Visitors
Introduction Beer has been brewed in America since colonial times and is a quintessential part of American culture. Founding father Benjamin Franklin has been credited with saying that “Beer is proof that God loves us.” However, only recently have the vast majority of...Currently Used Tools for Distribution System Analysis
Currently Used Tools for Distribution System Analysis The status of simulation tools for distribution systems has been continuously evolving, especially in the recent few years. The increased penetration in DG systems on the distribution side has changed the...Potential Impacts of PV Integration on Distribution Networks
Potential Impacts of PV Integration on Distribution Networks The conventional power grid is designed to accommodate a unidirectional ow of electric power from central generation units to transmission lines that will deliver the power to distribution feeders and...Introduction to 3-D Face Modeling From A 2-D Image With Shape And Head Pose Estimation
The world is made of three dimensions (3-D). Humans perceive the world in 3-D but really see 2-D images in the eye retina. We have the aptitude to estimate the depth of objects in a scene. We want to mimic this aptitude of recovering 3-D perception of a scene from a...Discussion And Conclusion about Second Generation Tactile Imaging System
Discussion We faced some issues in the hardware design while building the circuit for TIS G2. Initially we had used a 3.6V battery to power the LT1932 chip and 74AC14 chip at the same time. However, when we constructed the circuit on the breadboard and tested it, we...Test Plan of Comparison of TIS G1 and TIS G2
In this section, some tests were designed to compare the capabilities of TIS G1 and TIS G2 in characterizing an inclusion embedded in the soft tissue. The models are developed using spherical targets and PVC tissue phantom with base, depth, and intermediate layers....An Evaluation Of Carbon Concentrations
Introduction Diesel is one of the most common fuels used in the underground mining industry to power both support and production equipment. Though the use of diesel fuel has many advantages, it also has some disadvantages, especially with respect to underground...
