Introduction: To investigate the impact of respiratory motion on localization, and quantification lung lesions for the Gross Tumour Volume utilizing an in-house developed Auto3Dreg programme and dynamic NURBS-based cardiac-torso digitised phantom (NCAT).Methods: Respiratory motion may result in more than 30% underestimation of the SUV values of lun
Morphological traits, such Dessert Cups as size and shape, may reflect a combination of ecological and evolutionary responses by organisms.Ants have been used to evaluate the relationship between the environment and species coexistence and morphology.In the present study, we analyzed the morphology of workers of Gnamptogenys striatula Mayr in diffe
Flood occurs when the water inundates normally dry ground, which could happen in a variety of ways like excessive rainfall, overflowing of embankments, dams, rivers, snowmelt, and other factors.Floods are one form of a natural hazard which are difficult to contain and control.A flood susceptibility mapping using Geographic Information System (GIS)
In recent years, the use of quantum dots (Qdots) to obtain biological images has attracted attention due to their excellent luminescent properties and the possibility of their association with contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).In this study, Gd3+/ZnO (ZnOGd) were conjugated with Qdots composed of a gadolinium-copper-indium-sulphu
