Abstract Background Bonding Care System Small-animal PET imaging is an important tool in preclinical oncology.This study evaluated the ability of a clinical SiPM-PET camera to image several rats simultaneously and to perform quantification data analysis.Methods Intrinsic spatial resolution was measured using 18F line sources, and image quality was
The municipal sewage sludge typically has very high water content and low shear strength.Conventional methods of lime and cement solidification of municipal sewage sludge often suffer high cost, significant drying shrinkage, frequent cracking, high hydraulic conductivity, and low strength.To overcome these shortcomings, in this paper a skeleton-bui
Posthumanist critics such as Braidotti—informed by the antihumanisms of Foucault, Irigaray, and Deleuze—seek to respond to advanced capitalism by promoting what they take to be a radical transformation of what it means to be “human,” a way of conceiving being human that is thoroughly and consistently post-anthropocentric.Bra
This study aims to investigate the effect of changing skins material on the strength of sandwich plates with circular hole when subjected to mechanical loads.Theoretical, numerical and experimental analyses are done for sandwich plates with hole and with two face sheet materials.Theoretical analysis is performed by using sandwich plate theory which
Abstract High levels of species diversity hamper current understanding of how tropical forests may respond to environmental change.In the tropics, water availability is a leading driver of the diversity and distribution of tree species, suggesting that many tropical taxa may be physiologically incapable of tolerating dry conditions, and that their
