SU‐FF‐T‐250: Improved Patient Treatment with Leksell Gamma Knife Automatic Positioning System
No full textAn occupational survey to determine the entry level CAD skills and competencies required by employers of civil engineering technicians in the Northeast Wisconsin Technical College district
No full textIncludes bibliographical references.The purpose of this study was to identify the CAD related technical skills and
competencies that are required for employability at an entry-level position as a civil engineering technician. The majority of employers represented in this study are civil engineering firms, governmental agencies, and surveying firms. Overall, civil engineering firms along with governmental agencies employ the greatest number of drafters. Civil drawings, survey maps, and topographical drawings are the most commonly prepared drawings by the respondents. Other reported drawing types include architectural, electrical/electronic, landscaping, structural, and technical illustrations. Almost all of the respondents use a CAD system for drafting functions. AutoCAD is
the primary CAD platform used. MicroStation is also used, but to a much lesser extent. Of the employers that use CAD software, most use at least one collaborative software package with their primary CAD platform. Eagle Point is the most common collaborative software utilized. AutoCAD Land Development Desktop (ALDD) was noted to be the next commonly used collaborative software. Out of the 24 basic CAD skills that were listed on the survey, 14 were considered to be valid curriculum items and will be either retained or added to the program curriculum. Six of the 24 items will be reviewed for being valid curriculum items, and four of the items will not be included in the curriculum. Overall, most basic CAD skills were performed frequently or considered important. Out of the 29 advanced CAD skills that were listed on the survey, none were considered to be valid curriculum items. Sixteen of the 29 items will be reviewed for being valid curriculum items, and 13 of the items will not be included in the curriculum. Overall, most advanced CAD skills were not performed frequently nor considered important. Out of the 15 basic architectural drawing skills that were listed on the survey, none were considered to be valid curriculum items. Eight of the 15 items will be reviewed for being valid curriculum items, and seven of the items will not be included in the curriculum. Overall, most basic architectural drawing skills were not performed frequently nor considered important. None of the six basic structural drawing skills that were listed on the survey were considered to be valid curriculum items. One of the six items will be reviewed for being a valid curriculum item, and five of the items will not be included in the curriculum. Overall, most basic structural drawing skills were not performed frequently nor considered important
Neutron/gamma dose separation by the multiple-ion-chamber technique
No full textMany mixed n/..gamma.. dosimetry systems rely on two dosimeters, one composed of a tissue-equivalent material and the other made from a non-hydrogenous material. The paired chamber technique works well in fields of neutron radiation nearly identical in spectral composition to that in which the dosimeters were calibrated. However, this technique is drastically compromised in phantom due to the degradation of the neutron spectrum. The three-dosimeter technique allows for the fall-off in neutron sensitivity of the two non-hydrogenous dosimeters. Precise and physically meaningful results were obtained with this technique with a D-T source in air and in phantom and with simultaneous D-T neutron and /sup 60/Co gamma ray irradiation in air. The MORSE-CG coupled n/..gamma.. three-dimensional Monte Carlo code was employed to calculate neutron and gamma doses in a water phantom. Gamma doses calculated in phantom with this code were generally lower than corresponding ion chamber measurements. This can be explained by the departure of irradiation conditions from ideal narrow-beam geometry. 97 references

No full textDas Ringen des Dichters mit der leeren Seite ist ein beliebtes Motiv der modernen englischen und amerikanischen Lyrik. Folgende metaphorische Bedeutungen lassen sich unterscheiden: (1) die unstrukturierte Fläche (Wildnis, Wüste, Schneelandschaft), (2) der potentielle Ort des zu schreibenden Textes (eine Insel im Meer der Wörter), (3) die Rückseite des Textes oder die Geschichten unterhalb der Vorder- und Rückseite (die z. T. unbewussten Hindernisse, die dem Schreiben entgegenstehen), (4) die Seite, die leer zu sein scheint, in Wirklichkeit aber bereits mit Texten, Diskursen, kulturellen Vorstellungen beschrieben ist. Die poetologische Relevanz dieser Metaphorik wird an einer Reihe von Texten erläutert, die sich mit der Stoff- und Formenwahl, der Inspiration und dem schöpferischen Prozess befassen
Acute changes in the thyroid gland produced by fecal toxins
No full textThere has been a controversy among both clinicians and physiologists for a long time concerning the effects of various toxins on the thyroid gland. On one side, we have the evidence from exhaustive work done by McCarrison, in 1911, to show the feeding of fecal extracts and fecal residues to rats produced thyroid changes, loosely classed as “goitre”, in 100% of the animals. So closely to the symptoms of acute tuberculosis and acute toxic goitre resemble each other in the first stages that it has been definitively established by Goetsch, in the 1919, and Otis, in 1920, that the thyroid hypersecretion is involved in both
