Cost Escalation in Nuclear Power [PDF]

, 1978
This report is concerned with the escalation of capital costs of nuclear central station power plants between the early 1960s and the present. The report presents an historical overview of the development of the nuclear power industry and cost escalation

Distribution and prognostic value of T‐cells in primary colorectal cancer and adjacent non‐tumor mucosa in stage IV versus stage I–III patients

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? While colonic mucosa lymphocytes have been quantified in the context of inflammatory diseases, T‐cells in non‐tumor mucosa adjacent to colorectal cancer remain understudied. This study found that in stage IV colorectal cancer (synchronous liver metastasis), higher Foxp3+ T‐cell density and Foxp3+/CD4+ and Foxp3+/CD8+ T‐cell ratios in non ...

The role of linked data and the semantic web in building operation [PDF]

, 2013
Effective Decision Support Systems (DSS) for building service managers require adequate performance data from many building data silos in order to deliver a complete view of building performance. Current performance analysis techniques tend to focus on a

Patient Dose Optimisation of Abdominopelvic Protocols During X‐Ray Imaging

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study evaluates organ doses in abdominopelvic radiography for both erect and supine positions, addressing dose optimisation concerns in Ghana. Using CalDose X and thermoluminescence dosimeters, organ doses and image quality were analysed, revealing significant dose reductions with optimised exposure parameters (70 kVp, 10 mAs, 110 cm FDD).

An Analysis of Acquisition Dose in Male Mammography

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This retrospective study analysed 266 male breast imaging acquisitions across two Australian hospital sites, comparing radiation doses from full‐field digital mammography (FFDM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). DBT doses were significantly higher than FFDM, while FFDM glandular doses were lower than previously reported male and female cohorts ...

The Importance of Patient Positioning in Radiography When Utilising Automatic Exposure Control

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study highlights the impact of inaccurate patient positioning on dose and image quality when utilising the automatic exposure control (AEC) for radiographic examinations. While the AEC serves to optimise radiation dose to patients, the results here demonstrate that poor positioning can lead to significant dose implications for patients.

Proposed Diagnostic Reference Levels for Frequently Performed Paediatric Radiographic Examinations

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Paediatric diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are weight‐stratified dose levels for typical medical imaging examinations for broadly defined types of equipment. The 75th percentiles of the FRLs across the nine X‐ray units from five centres in Australia were calculated as the proposed Local DRLs (LDRLs).

Investigation of temperature dependence of development and aging [PDF]

, 1969
Temperature dependence of maturation and metabolic rates in insects, and the failure of vital processes during development were investigated. The paper presented advances the general hypothesis that aging in biological systems is a consequence of the ...

Autophagy Plays a Suppressive Role in Bladder Tumor Formation in an Orthotopic Mouse Model and Bladder Cancer Patient Specimens

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autophagy plays either a suppressing or promoting role during tumor development. Clarifying the role of autophagy in bladder tumorigenesis both in vitro and in vivo is crucial for developing novel therapeutic strategies through manipulating autophagy activity.
