The radio frequency (RF) coil is one of the key components of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. It has a significant impact on the performance of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) detection. Among numerous practical designs of RF coils for NMR imaging, the birdcage RF coil is the most popular choice from low field to ultra-high field ...

In this study, seedlings of Pyrus pyraster and Sorbus torminalis were grown for 60 days in the regulated environment of a growth chamber under different water regimes. The measured indicators were the growth and distribution of mass to organs, total biomass, root to shoot mass ratio (R:S), and gas exchange parameters (gs, E, An, and water use effic...
Yttrium oxide (Y2O3) thin films are implemented as a functional component in a broad field of applications such as optics, electronics or thermal barrier coatings. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a promising technique to fabricate high‐quality thin films with atomic level precision in which the precursor choice plays a crucial role in process deve...

Radioiodine therapy with 131I remains the mainstay of standard treatment for well-differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Prognosis is good but concern exists that 131I-emitted ionizing radiation may induce double-strand breaks in extra-thyroidal tissues, increasing the risk of secondary malignancies. We, therefore, sought to evaluate the induction an...

BackgroundDue to increasing aging of population prevalence of age-related disorders including osteoporosis is rapidly growing. Due to health and economic impact of the disease, there is an urgent need to develop techniques supporting bone metabolism and bone regeneration after fracture. Due to imbalance between bone forming and bone resorbing cells...

A nondispersive infrared gas analyzer was demonstrated for investigating metal alkylamide precursor delivery for microelectronics vapor deposition processes. The nondispersive infrared analyzer was designed to simultaneously measure the partial pressure of pentakis(dimethylamido) tantalum, a metal precursor employed in high volume manufacturing vap...

Characteristics of atomic layer deposition (ALD)-grown ZnO thin films on sapphire substrates with and without three-pulsed ozone (O3) as oxidant precursor and post-deposition thermal annealing (TA) are investigated. Deposition temperature and thickness of ZnO epilayers are 180 °C and 85 nm, respectively. Post-deposition thermal annealing is conduct...

Device testing of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell catalysts is essential for electrocatalyst development, yet most reported catalysts fabricated with nanoceramic coatings via atomic layer deposition (ALD) have not been thoroughly examined in this fashion. Platinum nanoparticle catalysts supported on functionalized XC72 carbon black that had ...
This work presents the evaluation of the photocatalytic activity of P25 TiO2 particles, coated with SiO2, using atomic layer deposition (ALD) for the photocatalytic removal of methylene blue, oxidation of methanol and inactivation of Escherichia coli bacteria in water and its comparative evaluation with bare P25 TiO2. Two different reactor configur...
