OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the scatter, dose, and effective detective quantum efficiency (DQE) performance of a slot-scan digital chest radiography system compared with that of a full-field digital radiography system. METHODS: Scatter fraction of a slot-scan system was measured for an anthropomorphic and a geometric phantom by using a posterior beam-stop technique at 117 and 140 kVp. Measurements were repeated with a full-field digital radiography system with and without a 13:1 antiscatter grid at 120 and 140 kVp. For both systems, the effective dose was measured on posteroanterior and lateral views for standard clinical techniques by using dosimeters embedded in a female phantom. The effective DQEs of the two systems were assessed by taking into account the scatter performance and the DQE of each system. The statistical significance of all the comparative differences was ascertained by means of t test analysis. RESULTS: The slot-scan system and the full-field system with grid yielded scatter ...

Linda Mizejewski, in Hardboiled & High Heeled, provides a general overview of the woman detective across three different media: the novel, television, and film. Such a general analysis is long overdue, and she constructs a clearly written book that is organized into these three preceding sections and seven detailed chapters.. The first two chapters introduce us to the importance of a group of female-centered detective novels that have been written since the [End Page 239] 1980s. In chapter 1, Mizejewski analyzes both the subject matter of womens detective fiction and, by means of the subtitle Fans and Fantasies, introduces the dominant theoretical stance of her book, admitting that she is both a critic and an admirer of these novels. In order to maintain a fans bearing, Mizejewski buries most of her academic research within footnotes listed at the back of the book although she has clearly done her homework and there are fifteen pages worth of single-spaced notes to prove it. Her books ...

Active Region. To operate Bipolar Junction Transistor as an Amplifier we have to make input Base-Emitter junction of BJT in forward bias and output junction Base-Collector junction to reverse bias.. How is the Amplification happening in the BJT Transistor?. In case of NPN transistor:. Given figure shows the NPN transistor with forward bias to Base-Emitter junction and reverse bias to Base-Collector junction.. Due to the forward bias at Base-Emitter junction electrons in the N-type emitter starts to flow towards the base terminal and hence this constitutes the emitter current IE. As the base is P-type and the electrons, they tend to combine with holes. As the base terminal is less doped and very thin, therefore, only a very few electrons (less than 4%) combine with holes to constitute base current IB.. The remainder (more than 96%) electrons cross over into the collector-region to constitute collector current IC. In this way, it is observed that almost the entire emitter current flows in the ...

A diagnostic X-ray system has an X-ray source that generates an X-ray conical beam, and a panel detector, which has numerous X-ray detection elements arrayed two-dimensionally, opposed to each other so that they can be rotated about the body axis of a subject. CT images of the subject are reconstructed based on projection data acquired by scanning the subject. The panel detector can be offset so that the center of the detecting surface of the panel detector extending in a direction perpendicular to the body axis can be displaced in a direction substantially perpendicular to a reference plane defined with an extension of a straight line linking the focal point of X-rays and a point on the body axis of the subject and with the body axis of the subject.

In this paper, we report the influence of the structural properties of amorphous silicon (a-Si) on its subsequent crystallization behavior via the aluminum induced crystallization (AIC) method. Two distinct a-Si deposition techniques, electron beam evaporation and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), are compared for their effect on the overall AIC kinetics as well as the properties of the final poly-crystalline (poly-Si) silicon film. Raman and FTIR spectroscopy results indicate that the PECVD grown a-Si films has higher intermediate-range order, which is enhanced for increased hydrogen dilution during deposition. With increasing intermediate-range order of the a-Si, the rate of AIC is diminished, leading larger poly-Si grain size. ...
The absolute efficiency of a phosphor screen is the ratio of the light energy per unit area at the screen surface to the incident x-ray energy fluence. Particle size is a critical factor in determining the absolute efficiency, but in most models its influence is not accounted for. To allow derivation of the particle size dependence, a model is proposed that describes the optical properties of the screen by means of a single parameter, the light extinction factor, xi, and assumes that the intrinsic efficiency (light energy/energy imparted to the phosphor material) is independent of particle size. The value of xi depends on the type of screen (phosphor, reflective backing, coating and binder) and has to be determined from measurements on at least two screens with known particle size and thickness. The absolute efficiency can then be calculated for an extended range of particle sizes and/or screen thicknesses. To test the model, experimental data from the literature were used to derive values of xi ...

This paper describes and discusses new experimental investigations of the excitation, absorption and emission spectra, phosphorescent decay curve characteristics, thermoluminescence and photoconductivity of potassium chloride phosphors activated by thallium and of the thermoluminescence of potassium chloride phosphors activated by barium, by strontium or by thermal or mechanical strains. It is concluded that for concentrations of more than about 0·001 mol. Tl the KCl:TlCl phosphors contain a number of different centres. Reasons are given for suggesting that some of these may be: (1) Tl+ ions at substitutional sites and not near to other Tl+ ions at neighbouring positive ion sites, (2) TlCln complexes at special sites near defects or along dislocations, (3) lattice distortions produced by the incorporation of Tl+ or other foreign ions. Since the main emission peaks appearing in the thermoluminescence of KCl: Tl at 200 and 300 °K also occur in the KCl phosphors activated by barium, by strontium ...
Detective fiction has remained remarkably resilient and pliable - modern masters of the genre include Tony Hillerman, with his spectacular use of the setting and culture of Native American tribal life in the Southwest. Carl Hiassens comic mysteries take advantage of their Florida setting. Sometimes detective fiction follows the form of classic murder mystery, and sometimes it doesnt - like all great genres, its pliable. In detective fiction there is usually an independent investigator of some kind, often a professional, but he or she could be an amateur, or a member of a police force. The key here is that the detective is working more or less on his own. In that sense, the Conan Doyle stories qualify as detective fiction, for example - though Holmes often works with the London police, he is very much out investigating on his own ...
John Clark Jr. was a fictional character in the television series NYPD Blue. He was played by Mark-Paul Gosselaar from season 9 until the end of the series. Clark Jr. was partnered with the rough but friendly detective Andy Sipowicz after Sipowiczs previous partner, Danny Sorenson, was murdered in an undercover sting gone bad. Clark earned his detective badge after courageous action in an undercover operation. Sipowicz became a kind of mentor for the young detective, and much of the veteran detectives skill rubbed off on Clark. His father, Clark Sr., was a by-the-book but not very competent detective who disapproved of his sons choice of precinct. He referred to the 15th Precinct as a hellhole and held a strong dislike for Sipowicz, whom he knew from previous experiences (their main clash came years earlier when Clark Sr. ruined a case where Andy got a confession by not emphasizing the suspects Miranda rights in textbook fashion, and the suspect later went out and killed an elderly woman). ...
Important design features of flat panel image receptors include the pixel size and the fill factor. Pixel size affects spatial resolution and sizes of the order of about 100-200 μm are typical. The fill factor is the percentage of a pixel area which is sensitive to the image signal - be it electric charge or light photons. It can never be 100%, given the need to accommodate conductors (~10 μm wide) which input switching signals and which output image signals, as well as the thin film transistor in each pixel. Typical fill factors are in the range 50-80%.. Flat-panel detectors generally use active matrices of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H+) as readout arrays. This is the technology developed for laptop displays which makes it possible to manufacture large-area X-ray imagers with high radiation tolerance. The amorphous silicon layer is formed on a glass substrate, for instance, by plasma-enhanced deposition of silane (SiH4) gas. The disordered structure of the amorphous layer has the ...

We report on the absolute calibration of a micro channel plate (MCP) detector, installed as detector in a Thomson parabola spectrometer. The calibration delivers the relation between a registered count numbers in the CCD camera (on which the MCP phosphor screen is imaged) as a result of the impact of an ion beam onto the MCP. The particle response of the whole detection system was evaluated by using laser accelerated ions with proton energies up to 3 MeV and carbon ion energies up to 16 MeV. In order to obtain an absolute measurement of the number of ions incident on the MCP detector, slotted CR-39 track detector was installed in front of the MCP. The signal registered on the MCP due to ions propagating through the CR-39 slots is compared to the number of particles counted on the adjacent CR-39 stripes after the etching. The calibration of the response of MCP has been extended to higher energy ions and protons on the basis of a simple model validated by comparison with the calibration data. This ...

This paper reviews the state of phosphor thermometry, focusing on developments in the past 15 years. The fundamental principles and theory are presented, and the various spectral and temporal modes, including the lifetime decay, rise time and intensity ratio, are discussed. The entire phosphor measurement system, including relative advantages to conventional methods, choice of phosphors, bonding techniques, excitation sources and emission detection, is reviewed. Special attention is given to issues that may arise at high temperatures. A number of recent developments and applications are surveyed, with examples including: measurements in engines, hypersonic wind tunnel experiments, pyrolysis studies and droplet/spray/gas temperature determination. They show the technique is flexible and successful in measuring temperatures where conventional methods may prove to be unsuitable.
In this re-imagined film version (set in 1943 Calcutta), there is just too much happening in a hurry but the story moves forward very slowly. Which is frustrating as director Dibakar Banerjee contemporary masterful take of this famous fictional detective is brilliant but is not satisfying. It lacks the thrill of a murder mystery. I wish Sushant Singh Rajput was better in carrying this kind of film. In fact, Anand Tiwari was better than him and also Meiyang Chang, the Indian Idol fame, was surprising good. The final highly stylistic gore was like a stand alone pay-off piece. The cinematography (Nikos Andritsakis), production design and background score (mixes rap, thrash metal, gypsy ballads and thumping swing) were a cinematic pleasure ...

PODCAST EPISODE 55: Brenna Quinlan, permaculture illustrator, co-author of the Bee Detectives, Melliodora, Victoria, Australia. I like art that is joyful. Playful. Often childlike. The kind of work where the artists hand lightly brings people, objects, animals and places to life in a way that seems completely effortless. I like colour, too. The kind of combining of colour that sparks energy, vivacity, and shows a certain sensitivity shared between the artist and the world. Artists, in my experience, have a way of connecting with the world that is unique. They build a relationship with it, speak with it, and through those intimate conversations, they make new representations of how it feels to be alive and in connection with other humans and the planet. It seems big, and it is! We need more people that take the time to envision the times in which we are living with a new sense of positivity-to make pictures of a bright future so we can make that vision happen. For that reason, I am thrilled to ...
Most of projection radiography is currently performed using digital receptors such as computed radiography which makes use of photostimulable phosphors (e.g., BaFBr). The data acquired by a digital radiographic system can be characterized by two key numbers: (1) the average radiation intensity incident on the imaging receptor, expressed as an air kerma (mGy) or exposure (mR) where 1 mR ~ 10 mGy; (2) the dynamic range of the radiation incident on the imaging receptor, which may be taken as the ratio of the maximum radiation intensity of clinical interest to the corresponding minimum intensity. For example, in a chest x-ray, if the maximum lung intensity corresponds an air kerma of 50 mGy, and the lowest intensity in the mediastinum is 0.5 mGy, the dynamic range would be 100 (i.e., 50 mGy/0.5 mGy).. The CR system used to generate most of the radiographs in this teaching file generates two numbers that relate to the characteristics of the pattern of radiation that is incident on the imaging plate: ...

When I first saw him in the *ahem* EMMY-AWARD-WINNING PERFORMANCE of Tyrion in Game of Thrones, I knew that if Billi were ever optioned for the big screen or for cable, Dinklange would be my first-and only-choice for the role of the dwarf detective. The wise-ass attitude. The swagger. The confidence. He was Billi in the best suits Westros could offer. This, of course, was a pipe dream as The Billibub Baddings Mysteries were settling comfortably as bygone titles in my career. I hadnt really given the dwarf detective much thought until January when my better half and the rest of the Smoky Writers Retreat convinced me a Kickstarter to fund a third Billi-regardless of both my agent and other publishers showing no interest in the series-was a good idea.. So since Valentines Day, the dwarf detective and Dinklage have been in the forefront of my mind recently…. …and that why I was completely thrown for a loop when this bomb dropped in my lap: ...
All that was nearly 6 years ago, theres no way those characteristics have made it into Detective Balujas most recent cases, specifically the Bernardo Barrera mortgage fraud case, right? After all, you would think he learned to put all that aside by now. Once again, WRONG! Based on what Im being told, intimidation, coercion and imagination are all characteristics that are alive and well with Detective Baluja. Isnt it amazing what people will tell you when they think youre about to cart them off to jail Jorge? Then when you cant coerce or intimidate them into saying EXACTLY what you want, why not take some liberties with their statement and start making $hit up? Thats exactly what the good detective did. Nice work Jorjito. ...

Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams TD has extended his deepest condolences and sympathies to the family and friends of Detective Steven McDonald who died in New York this week.. The Sinn Féin leader said:. Ba mhaith liom mo chombhrón a thabhairt do chlann McDonald. It is with great sadness that I heard of the death of Steven McDonald.. Steven was an NYPD detective who in 1986 was shot by a 15 year old youth and suffered such severe injuries that he was paralysed from the neck down - a quadriplegic .. Despite his horrific injuries he never lost hope and some years ago he forgave the man who shot him. Steven was determined to overcome adversity and to transform his personal tragedy into a message of peace and forgiveness. He worked for the rest of his life to bring that message to places of conflict in America, the Middle East and Ireland.. I first met him in 1994 when along with his friend Fr. Mychal Judge - who was killed in the September 11 attack on New Yorks Twin Towers - he attended ...

An imaging method which is comprised of a spatially varying imagewise output intensity for a corresponding imaging input. An imaging member comprising between two electrodes a photoconductor in contact with an about 1 to about 6 micron thick layer of nematic liquid crystalline material, which in the absence of an electrical field is in the homogeneous texture, and having negative dielectric anisotropy is utilized. A d.c. voltage above the parallel variable grating mode threshold for the nematic liquid crystalline material is applied between the two electrodes of the imaging member and, while the voltage is applied, the photoconductor is exposed to imagewise configured actinic electromagnetic radiation from a first radiation source. The actinic radiation causes the voltage to increase across portions of the nematic liquid crystalline layer in electrical contact with regions of the photoconductor exposed to the actinic radiation. The increase in voltage across these portions of the liquid crystalline

Although betavoltaic batteries sound Nuclear theyre not, they neither use fission/fusion or chemical processes to produce energy and so (do not produce any radioactive or hazardous waste). Betavoltaics generate power when an electron strikes a particular interface between two layers of material. The Process uses beta electron emissions that occur when a neutron decays into a proton which causes a forward bias in the semiconductor. This makes the betavoltaic cell a forward bias diode of sorts, similar in some respects to a photovoltaic (solar) cell. Electrons scatter out of their normal orbits in the semiconductor and into the circuit creating a usable electric current ...
QCDTF- After a lengthy investigation, detectives from the Quad Cities Drug Task Force along with the Pullman Police Department executed a narcotics related search warrant Friday morning at a residence in the 1200 block of Hannah Street in Pullman WA..

Set in the fictional 99th Precinct of the New York City Police Department in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows a team of detectives headed by the overly serious, newly appointed Captain Raymond Holt. The detectives include Jake Peralta, who has a high rate of successful arrests and solved cases, in spite of his relaxed, carefree, and (at times) childish attitude. He eventually falls for his nerdy, by-the-book but lovable partner, Amy Santiago. The hard-working but timid Charles Boyle is partnered with the apathetic, aggressive, and scary Rosa Diaz. The pair of older detectives, Michael Hitchcock and Norm Scully, often seem incompetent, stupid, and lazy, but have solved more cases over the years simply because they have been on the job much longer.. The detectives report to Sergeant Terry Jeffords, a gentle giant and devoted family man who initially has a phobia of going back to field police work for fear of being killed in the line of duty and leaving his children fatherless. The precinct ...

We present a planar large-area photoconducting emitter for impulsive generation of terahertz (THz) radiation. The device consists of an interdigitated electrode metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structure which is masked by a second metallization layer isolated from the MSM electrodes. The second layer blocks optical excitation in every second period of the MSM finger structure. Hence charge carriers are excited only in those periods of the MSM structure which exhibit a unidirectional electric field. Constructive interference of the THz emission from accelerated carriers leads to THz electric field amplitudes up to 85 V/cm when excited with fs optical pulses from a Ti:sapphire oscillator with an average power of 100 mW at a bias voltage of 65 V applied to the MSM structure. The proposed device structure has a large potential for large-area high-power THz emitters ...

CCD (charged coupled device) and CMOS imaging technologies can be applied to thin tissue autoradiography as potential imaging alternatives to using conventional film. In this work, we compare two particular devices: a CCD operating in slow scan mode and a CMOS-based active pixel sensor, operating at near video rates. Both imaging sensors have been operated at room temperature using direct irradiation with images produced from calibrated microscales and radiolabelled tissue samples. We also compare these digital image sensor technologies with the use of conventional film. We show comparative results obtained with (14)C calibrated microscales and (35)S radiolabelled tissue sections. We also present the first results of (3)H images produced under direct irradiation of a CCD sensor operating at room temperature. Compared to film, silicon-based imaging technologies exhibit enhanced sensitivity, dynamic range and linearity.. ...

A method is provided for forming smooth polycrystalline silicon electrodes for molecular electronic devices. The method comprises: depositing a silicon layer in an amorphous form; forming a native oxide on a surface of the amorphous silicon layer at a temperature between room temperature to 500° C.; and converting the amorphous silicon to polycrystalline silicon by heat-treating at a temperature in a range of 600° to 800° C. for a period of time in a range of 1 minute to 24 hrs, with higher temperatures associated with shorter times, in an inert atmosphere. The method converts the amorphous form of silicon to the higher conductivity polycrystalline form, while retaining the smoothness associated with the amorphous form.
Authors: Zhao, Yongxia , Li, Dongxue , Liu, Zhichao , Geng, Xue , Zhang, Tianle , Xu, Yize Article Type: Research Article Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To determine the optimal pre-adaptive and post-adaptive level statistical iterative reconstruction V (ASiR-V) for improving image quality and reducing radiation dose in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). METHODS: The study was divided into two parts. In part I, 150 patients for CCTA were prospectively enrolled and randomly divided into 5 groups (A, B, C, D, and E) with progressive scanning from 40% to 80% pre-ASiR-V with 10% intervals and reconstructing with 70% post-ASiR-V. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were calculated. Subjective image quality was assessed using a 5-point scale. The CT dose index volume …(CTDIvol ) and dose-length product (DLP) of each patient were recorded and the effective radiation dose (ED) was calculated after statistical analysis by optimizing for the best pre-ASiR-V value with ...
OBJECTIVES The aim was to investigate the image quality of dual-energy computed-tomography (DECT) compared to single-energy images at 80 kV and 140 kV in oral tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty patients underwent a contrast-enhanced DECT scan on a definition flash-CT. Four reconstructions (80 kV, 140 kV, mixed (M), and optimum-contrast (OC)) were assessed by four blinded readers for subjective image quality (10-point scale/10=best). For objective quality assessment, linear attenuation measurements (line density profiles (LDP)) were positioned at the tumor margin, and the difference between minimum and maximum was calculated. Signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) were measured in the tongue. RESULTS The mean image quality for all readers was 5.1±0.3, 8.4±0.3, 8.1±0.2, and 8.3±0.2 for the 140 kV, 80 kV, M, and OC, respectively (P|001 between 140 kV and all others). The mean difference between the minimum and maximum within the LDP was 139.4±59.0, 65.7±29.5, 105.1±46.5, and 118.7±59.4 for the 80 kV,
