Gait Stability Training in a Virtual Environment Improves Gait and Dynamic Balance Capacity in Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury Patients

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
Many patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) have impaired gait and balance capacity, which may impact daily functioning. Reduced walking speed and impaired gait stability are considered important underlying factors for reduced daily ...

Parameters that remain consistent independent of pausing before gait-initiation during normal rise-to-walk behaviour delineated by sit-to-walk and sit-to-stand-and-walk. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND:Rising-to-walk is an everyday transitional movement task rarely employed in gait rehabilitation. Sit-to-walk (STW) and sit-to-stand-and-walk (STSW), where a pause separates sit-to-stand and gait-initiation (GI) represent extremes of rising-to ...

Investigation of photon, neutron and proton shielding features of H3BO3–ZnO–Na2O–BaO glass system

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2021
The current study aims to explore the shielding properties of multi-component borate-based glass series. Seven glass-samples with composition of (80-y)H3BO3–10ZnO–10Na2O–yBaO where (y = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 mol.%) were synthesized by melt-quench ...

Multipurpose Transparent Nanocomposites for Gamma Spectroscopy, Pulse Shape Discrimination, Thermal Neutron Detection, Radiation Shielding, and High Refractive Index Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Materials exist that are useful for gamma scintillation, radiation shielding, neutron‐gamma pulse shape discrimination (PSD), thermal neutron detection, or high refractive index applications. While certain materials have exhibited optimal performance for each of these applications, none achieve multiple functions.

Integrated X‐Ray, Gamma Radiation, and Micro‐CT Techniques for Quantitative Wood Characterization

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present research integrates microcomputed tomography (micro‐CT), x‐ray fluorescence, and gamma‐ray transmission to quantitatively characterize wood species. A total of 22 samples from seven species were analyzed for density (ρ), linear attenuation coefficient (μ), Compton scattering, micro‐CT gray values (GV), porosity, mass attenuation ...

A novel system for micron‐scale analysis of energy deposition and response to low‐dose radiation

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Background Micrometer‐scale evaluation of energy deposition is important for radiation protection and therapy as well as for advancing knowledge of responses to radiation in materials and biological systems. Due to the stochastic nature of radiation interactions, there is significant variation in energy deposition in micrometer‐sized targets ...

Analysis of water-equivalent materials used during irradiation in the clinic with XCOM and BEAMnrc

Journal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences, 2019
The devices used in the departments of Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, and Radiation Oncology should check for precise dose at some periods. The purpose of study is to compare the materials used for dosimetric control using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. For MC simulation, BEAMnrc and DOSXYZnrc were used.

Characterization of the Urethane Based Tissue Equivalent Substitute for Phantom Construction: Model Molding, XCOM and MCNPX Studies

International Journal on Advanced Science, Engineering and Information Technology, 2022
The Soft and Lung tissue equivalent substitute (STES and LTES) were developed from urethane PMC121/30 Dry (A and B) of Smooth-On, USA. The part A and B were mixed in the ratio 1:1 and further mixed with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) at a ratio 2:1 by mass. Air moisture was extracted from the mixture for 10minutes. This is the STES and the density after air

Radiation shielding ability and optical features of La2O3+TiO2+Nb2O5+WO3+X2O3 (X=B, Ga, and In) glass system containing high-entropy oxides

Heliyon, 2023
Three high entropy materials (La2O3+TiO2+Nb2O5+WO3+X2O3 coded as LTNWM1, LTNWM2, and LTNWM3 for X = B, Ga, and In) produced by aerodynamic containerless processing were evaluated for optical attributes, and their gamma-radiation absorption abilities were
