It is essential to monitor patient’s dose to ensure the proper implementation and practices of radiation protection in diagnostic X-ray imaging and to reduce the risks of radiation exposures. Our study aimed to estimate the entrance skin dose and exit dose in abdominal radiography using nanoDot OSLD. Siemens Multix Top X-ray system was used. Kyot

Objectives: The aim of this research was to study the impact of heel effect on entrance surface dose (ESD) of ovaries in lumbosacral radiography with two orientations of the phantom in terms of tube axis. Methods: Siemens Multix Top general radiography system was used. Imaging exposure factors were chosen as, 77 kVp and 32 mAs for anteroposterior (

Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) is a commercially important plant worldwide. The leaves of Stevia rebaudiana contain steviol glycosides which are non-caloric, high-potency sweeteners. They are suitable for substituting sucrose and other artificial sweetening agents. Stevia rebaudiana also has many different therapeutic uses, with antidiabetic, anti-car

Ripening is a complex developmental process and involves many events such as textural and constitutional changes. The texture of fleshy fruits is one of the major criteria for consumer choice. However, the molecular determinants of ripening- associated changes in texture or “softening” are relatively poorly understood and seem to involve a larg

Selected hydrological parameters at the nesting grounds of horseshoe crabs along the Pahang coast were determined. A complete year data from March 2010 to February 2011 was collected using advanced multiparameter meter model Hanna HI 9828 probe. The surface water temperature varied from 29.060C - 19.360C at Balok and 29.10C-15.080C at Pekan station

Universities formal curriculum are getting more complex and diverse as the world’s issues are getting more complicated and interlinked. In responding to this demand, some subjects turned to be very specific and technical that it may have neglected the purpose of the knowledge to the society.
