The energy of beta-radiation can be totally absorbed in a limited volume of tissue. The exposure can be therefore limited to the tissue to be treated. Practical radiation protection tends to be a job of dodging several factors to identify the most cost-effective solution. An example of reducing radiation doses by redu…

Abstract : We proposed to develop a silver (Ag) nanoparticle (NP) contrast agent optimized for dualenergy (DE) contrast-enhanced (CE) breast x-ray imaging. CE digital breast imaging provides an accurate method for decomposition of images into distinct breast tissue and contrast agent signals. At present, DE-CE breast…

The state of the art in failure modeling enables assessment of crack nucleation, propagation, and progression to fragmentation due to high velocity impact. Vulnerability assessments suggest a need to track material behavior through failure, to the point of fragmentation and beyond. This eld of research is particularly…

摘要: 以吡啶、丙磺酸内酯和钨磷酸为原料,合成了离子液体型多金属氧酸盐(POM-IL)化合物[PyPS]nH3-nPW12O40·xH2O(n=1,2,3),用FT-IR、UV-Vis、1H NMR和元素分析等对其进行了表征。 结果显示,POM-IL化合物仍保持相应钨磷酸的Keggin结构,并存在吡啶丙磺酸的特征谱带,熔点均高于130 ℃,且随有机阳离子含量增加,熔点降低。 在紫外光下,n为1和2的POM-IL对水溶液中甲基橙的光催化降解活性与钨磷酸相似;在可见光下,POM-IL对水溶液中靛红的光催化降解活性相近,且均远高于钨磷酸。
