With the states of seven and four independent variables, there is a change in the Mueller matrix obtained from breast tissue.","PeriodicalId":420814,"journal":{"name":"New Ideas Concerning Science and Technology Vol. 13","volume":"243 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132729783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are grown on plain SiO2 (8 nm thick) /Si (100) sub - strates by a Plasma and Hot Filaments - enhanced Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition (PE HF CCVD) process. The XAS spectra are highly sensitive to a previous thermal treatment, as an intense adsorption on the outer wall of the nanotubes may strongly affect the absorption transitions. The morphology and the nature of these carbon nanostructures are characterized by SEM, TEM and Raman spectroscopy. According to conditions of catalyst preparation and DC HF CCVD process, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanofibers (CNFs), carbon nanowalls (CNWs), carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) with different orientation of the graphene plans or shells can be prepared. From the angular dependence of the incident light and geometrical morphology of the nanostructures, wide variations of the C K - edge intensity of the transitions to the empty (pi)* and (sigma)* states occur. A full lineshape analysis of the XAS spectra has been carried out using a home -made soft - ware, allowing estimating the relative proportion of (pi)* and (sigma)* transitions. A geometrical model of the angular dependence with the incidence angle of the light and the morphology of the carbon nanostructures is derived. With normalization to the HOPG (Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite) reference case, a degree of alignment can be extracted which is representative of the localized orientation of the graphitic carbon (pi) bonds, accounting not only for the overall orientation, but also for local defects like impurities incorporation, structural defects,… This degree of alignment shows good agreement with SEM observations. Thus CNTs films display degrees of alignment around 50%, depending on the occurrence of defects in the course of the growth, whereas no special alignment can be detected with CNFs and CNPs, and a weak one (about 20%) is detected on CNWs.","PeriodicalId":420814,"journal":{"name":"New Ideas Concerning Science and Technology Vol. 13","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114220486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ratio K/G is used to determine whether solids are ductile or brittle in terms of fracture resistance (K) and plastic deformation (G). The state of ductility and brittleness was evaluated in this study using measured K/G values for the geophysical minerals MgO and CaO, which are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental values. We also calculated the Debye temperature ( ) for the selected samples using average sound velocity obtained from the values of fracture resistance (K) and plastic deformation (G). Both minerals are brittle, and the measured Debye temperatures are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental values. As a result, it can be inferred that the existence and Debye temperature of geophysical minerals can be predicted using only their elastic stiffness constant up to high temperatures.","PeriodicalId":420814,"journal":{"name":"New Ideas Concerning Science and Technology Vol. 13","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122145578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the radiographic evaluation of the heart size is invaluable in the determination of the extent and severity of the cardiac or pericardial disorder. The importance of rabbits as a protein source and an animal model for many biomedical researches and in teaching is general knowledge and has been stated. This research was aimed at establishing reference values of vertebral heart size (VHS) of normal New Zealand White (NZW) rabbit. \u0000Materials and Methods: Heart sizes of ten (5 females, 5 males) clinically normal NZW rabbits were studied.  A right lateral thoracic radiograph was obtained of each research animal. In each of the radiographs, the cardiac long axis (LA) was measured in centimeters, transposed onto the thoracic vertebrae from T4, and the result read in vertebral lengths. The cardiac short axis (SA) was similarly converted to lengths of thoracic vertebrae. The VHS was then obtained from the addition of the LA and SA thoracic vertebral lengths. \u0000Results: Mean plus or minus standard error of mean (M±SEM) VHS was 8.5±0.3 vertebrae, and the difference between male and female VHS means was insignificant. \u0000Conclusion: Clinically, VHS is objective and easily applicable in radiographic determination of heart size.","PeriodicalId":420814,"journal":{"name":"New Ideas Concerning Science and Technology Vol. 13","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132171313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
