Background: As compared to the flattened photon beam, removing the flattening filter (FF) from the head of a gantry decreases the average energy of the photon beam and increases the dose rate, leading to an impact on the quality of treatment plans.Objective: This study aimed to compare the quality of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) tre
The Coupling Coordination Relationship Between Urbanization and the Eco-Environment in Resource-Based Cities, Loess Plateau, China
Resource-based cities face numerous sustainability challenges, making the coupled and coordinated relationship between urbanization and the eco-environment critical for sustainable development strategies.The Loess Plateau is an essential energy base and ecologically fragile area in China, holding unique and significant research value.This research
Banana Pseudo-Stem Increases the Water-Holding Capacity of Minced Pork Batter and the Oxidative Stability of Pork Patties
Banana pseudo-stem (BPS), which is rich in fibre and polyphenols, is a potential functional 8n joico lumishine ingredient for the food industry.In this study, BPS was added at concentrations of 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 g/kg to a minced pork batter to evaluate its performance as a filler and to pork burger patties to evaluate its performance as a natural a
Behavior of the string considering axial elongation
A flexible string is used at various places.Typical examples are a cable for power transmission and communication and a wire for cranes and elevators.In addition, there are the uses such as a fly-fishing line, climbing rope and a mowing machine to cut turf by turning a nylon string.In the past study, a string pendulum was paid attention as the basi
Breakthrough application of electrochromism: Multifunctional artificial muscle
Summary: In the article (Advanced Materials 2023; 2305914, https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202305914) reported by Wang et al., electrochemically driven multifunctional electrochromic artificial muscles (EAMs) are demonstrated with intricate actuation and eye-catching color-change behaviors, which were assembled from V2O5 nanowires-carbon nanotube fibe
