EFFECTS OF SHIELDING THE RADIOSENSITIVE SUPERFICIAL ORGANS OF ORNL PEDIATRIC PHANTOMS ON DOSE REDUCTION IN COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

Effects of shielding the radiosensitive superficial organs of ORNL pediatric phantoms on dose reduction in computed tomography

In computed tomography (CT), some superficial organs which have increased sensitivity to radiation, receive doses that are significant enough to be matter of concern.Therefore, in this study, the Cleavers effects of using shields on the amount of dose reduction and image quality was investigated for pediatric imaging.Absorbed doses of breasts, eyes

Spiraling elliptic hollow beams with cross phase

We introduced a class of spiraling elliptic hollow beams with the cross phase.Due to the cross phase, the spiraling elliptic hollow beams exhibit three key characteristics, having the elliptic peak ring, carrying the orbital angular momentum (OAM), and performing rotations.We investigated both linear and nonlinear evolutions of the spiraling ellipt

Transcriptome sequencing and metabolome analysis of food habits domestication from live prey fish to artificial diets in mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi)

Abstract Background As economical traits, food habits domestication can reduce production cost in aquaculture.However, the molecular mechanism underlying food habits domestication has remained elusive.Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) only Short Sleeve Polo feed on live prey fish and refuse artificial diets.In the present study, we domesticated man
