Assessment of scattered and leakage radiation from ultra-portable X-ray systems in chest imaging: An independent study.

Ultraportable (UP) X-ray devices are ideal to use in community-based settings, particularly for chest X-ray (CXR) screening of tuberculosis (TB).Unfortunately, there is insufficient guidance on the radiation safety of these devices.This study aims to determine the radiation dose by UP X-ray devices to both the public and radiographers compared to i

The shadow of supertranslated black hole

Abstract The supertranslated black hole proposed by Hawking, Perry, and Strominger might provide a resolution to the information paradox, which is usually defined by a complicated space-time metric.In this paper, we figure out the shadow for the supertranslated black hole by making use of supertranslated 4-velocities and the trajectories of the lig

Effects of Different Combinations of Concentric and Eccentric Resistance Training Programs on Traditional and Alternative Hamstrings-to-Quadriceps Ratios

Resistance training is often recommended for combined increases in traditional and alternative hamstrings-to-quadriceps (H:Q) ratios in order to reduce knee strength imbalance and associated hamstrings and knee ligament injury risk.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different concentric and eccentric Audio Interfaces resistance
