Approximate attenuation correction techniques are used to handle the effects of absorption of gamma photons in the patient’s body on image quality and quantification of radioactivity uptake. In this study, our aim is to evaluate the effects of Chang’s attenuation correction technique on cold and hot region images with various sizes and location

Polycrystalline metal substrates such as copper (Cu) have been intensively used to grow graphene in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. It has been observed that crystal orientations affect the quality of graphene produced to some degree. The existence of crystal orientations caused graphene to grow randomly on top of Cu which also resulted

Introduction: Quinolone resistance and extended spectrum beta lactamase production has increased in E.coli and considered a serious problem worldwide. It is worth to monitor resistance mechanism in E.coli to provide guidance for optimizing antimicrobial treatments,control and spread of resistance. The objective of this study was to molecularly char

The literature on employable graduates indicates that there is a considerable concern regarding the widening gap between the communication skills in English of job applicants and the English language competency required for employment.This paper presents the findings of a study to investigate the industry's perceptions of the importance of grad

Hati siapa yang tidak sedih bila anak yang dikandung meninggal dunia sebelum sempat dilahirkan ke dunia. Mengapa masalah ini berlaku? Hasnita Sawal mendapatkan butiran lebih lanjut berkenaan hal tersebut daripada doktor pakar.

Differential Higgs boson (H) production cross sections are sensitive probes for physics beyond the standard model. New physics may contribute in the gluon-gluon fusion loop, the dominant Higgs boson production mechanism at the LHC, and manifest itself through deviations from the distributions predicted by the standard model. Combined spectra for th

Price limits have skirted controversy since inception. Regulators claim limits curb volatility, allay stressed markets, and encourage reflection on information to trade rationally. Opponents contend saying limits delay the inevitable by postponing volatility, deferring equilibrium price discovery, and obtrude investors’ trading plans. While these

This article examines the Malaysian experience with public management reform to verify arguments about various reform models. Drawing on empirical data, it investigates reforms that have worked and those that have had limited impacts on public service improvements. It identifies critical success factors that determine reform outcomes and concludes

Heat transfer augmentation study using air jet impingement has recently attained great interest toward electronic packaging systems and material processing industries. The present study aims at developing a nondimensional semiempirical relation, which represents the cooling rate (Nu) in terms of different geometric and impinging parameters. The spa

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology of the 21st century. It is described as the first real evolution of the Internet that could positively or negatively affect all aspects of life. The basic idea of the IoT revolves around connecting things and objects (persons, animals, cars, trees, etc.) to the Internet and enabling them to com
