Forest vegetation Interaction with L-band Satellite Signals

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2019
A method for calculating the electro-physical parameters of forest vegetation cover interacting with the signals of navigation satellites in the frequency bands 1.2-1.6 GHz is proposed.

Preparation and characterization of bismuth-filled high-density polyethylene composites for gamma-ray shielding

open access: yesRadiation Protection and Environment, 2019
An attempt has been made to prepare the nonlead-based gamma shielding materials by adding different weight percentages (0%, 10%, 20%, and 40%) of bismuth in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix.

The Association of Physical Function With Psychosocial Patient‐Reported Outcomes in People With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective To evaluate how modifiable psychosocial factors and fatigue relate to physical functioning in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods In this cross‐sectional study of two demographically distinct cohorts (Approaches to Positive, Patient‐Centered Experiences of Aging with Lupus [APPEAL] and California Lupus Epidemiology Study

Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

PET attenuation coefficients from CT images: experimental evaluation of the transformation of CT into PET 511-keV attenuation coefficients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The CT data acquired in combined PET/CT studies provide a fast and essentially noiseless source for the correction of photon attenuation in PET emission data. To this end, the CT values relating to attenuation of photons in the range of 40-140keV must be

Prediction of Surface Topography Parameters in Direct Laser Interference Patterning of Stainless Steel Using Infrared Monitoring and Convolutional Neural Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents an infrared monitoring approach for direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) combined with a convolutional neural network (CNN). Thermal emission data captured during structuring are used to predict surface topography parameters.

Determination of the linear attenuation coefficients of aluminum, iron and lead for collimated 661.66 keV gamma rays using TCS-172 gamma scintillation survey meter [PDF]

open access: yes
The linear attenuation coefficients of aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), and lead (Pb) for 661.66 keV gamma rays were determined based on gamma dose rate measurements obtained using a handheld TCS-172 gamma scintillation survey meter.

On the calculation of an attenuation coefficient for transects of ice-covered ocean

open access: yes, 2011
Published online 24 August 2011Exponential attenuation of ocean surface waves in ice-covered regions of the polar seas is modelled in a two-dimensional, linear setting, assuming that the sea ice behaves as a thin-elastic plate. Attenuation is produced by
