Spatial Resolution Analysis of a Variable Resolution X-ray Cone-beam Computed Tomography System
… CsI-based amorphous silicon flat panel detector (FPD) that can tilt about its horizontal (<em>u</em>) axis and vertical (<em>v</em>) axis independently. The detector angulation improves the spatial resolution of the CT images by changing the effective size of each detector cell. Two components of …

The Roles of Resilience and Perceived Discrimination in Sexual Minority Identity Integration
… frequency of perceived discrimination (EPD and FPD), and LGB identity status. Hierarchical regression results indicated that while resilience does not moderate EPD and FPD in predicting degree of outness, along with FPD it does independently predict outness. Additionally, post hoc regression …

Relative Bio-Equivalence of Salbutamol MDIs Without and With the Attached Spacers. Development and validation of novel HPLC methods for the determination of salbutamol (and terbutaline) in urine excreted post-inhalation for bioequivalence and pharmacokinetic studies of Salbutamol MDIs
… and included measurement of fine particle dose (FPD) and total delivered dose (TDD). Bioequivalence studies were conducted in humans using the urinary pharmacokinetic method. Post-inhalation urinary excretion of salbutamol in the first 0.5 hour (lung deposition, USAL0.5) and over 24 hours (total …

Studio dello scattering 18O + 48Ti a 275 MeV, simulazioni Monte Carlo e caratterizzazione sperimentale del rivelatore di piano focale di MAGNEX per il progetto NUMEN
… di piano focale (Focal Plane Detector, FPD), costituito da un tracciatore a gas basato sulle M-THGEM e da un muro di rivelatori a telescopio ΔE-E, basato sulla tecnologia SiC-CsI(Tl), per l’identificazione delle particelle (Particle IDentification, PID). In questo contesto, è stata …

Dynamics Of Orientable Particulate Suspensions: Continuum Simulations Of ‘Living’ Fluids And Meso-Scale Simulations Of Anisotropic Particle Suspensions
… cells is probed by Fluid Particle Dynamics (FPD). In the second part, Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics (CGMD) simulation is applied to investigate the relation between microstructure of the suspension, such as orientation distribution function, particle moments to its rheological behavior, …

Investigations to identify the influence of the inhalation manoeuvre on the ex-vivo dose emission and the in-vitro aerodynamic dose emission characteristics of dry powder inhalers: Studies to identify the influence of inhalation flow, inhalation volume and the number of inhalations per dose on the ex-vivo dose emission and the in-vitro aerodynamic dose emission characteristics of dry powder inhalers.
… highlight that the fine particle dose (FPD) from the four studied inhalers is flow dependent. Also the minimum inhalation flow to generate the (FPD) with the appropriate characteristics for lung deposition has been identified to be 20 L min-1 for the Accuhaler®, Easyhaler® and …

Multiscale modeling of transport mechanisms and quality changes in frozen foods during freeze-thaw cycles
… profiles and freezing point depression (FPD). This work is the first study to calculate FPD in a porous food using HMT based fluid and species transport model. The simulation results show that HMT-based solute transport equation coupled with fluid and heat transfer equations and physical …

A clinical and molecular genetic study into familial and sporadic Parkinson’s Disease
… of pathogenic LRRK2 mutations in UK familial PD (fPD). In addition I identified three novel frameshift mutations. I investigated the functional effects of two of these mutations and provide evidence that nonsense mediated decay (NMD) is occurring in LRRK2-PD. In this thesis I also present data …

Exploring fast package delivery from a systems perspective
… this market to be a difficult arena to enter. FPD has two modes of service. On one end is a mode for which the high transportation unit costs are offset by the single-customer serviceability and unreliability of market volume. At the opposite end, for scheduled service operation, high, stable …

Relative bioavailability of terbutaline to the lungs following inhalation using different methods.
… emitted dose (TED) and the fine particle dose (FPD) was observed as the inhalation flow increased thereby highlighting the flow dependent dose emission characteristics of the Turbuhaler. The in-vitro dose emission characteristics of terbutaline sulphate from Bricanyl MDIs were measured according …

An exploration of the effect of anisotropy on seismic tomography in different geological settings
… large splitting time and an arcuate pattern of FPD) along the tight Gibraltar Arc in the western Mediterranean, we show that unaccounted-for seismic anisotropy may have been mapped as an artificial low-velocity structure below the subducted Alboran slab. Also, considering seismic anisotropy is …

Optimization of Handover, Survivability, Multi-Connectivity and Secure Slicing in 5G Cellular Networks using Matrix Exponential Models and Machine Learning
… novel adaptive fractional packet duplication (A-FPD) mechanism for enabling and disabling packet duplication based on a variety of parameters. We have developed a ‘DeepSlice’ model by implementing Deep Learning (DL) Neural Network to manage network load efficiency and network availability, …

Development of Afatinib lipid nanoparticles targeting non small cell lung cancer
… the highest FPF (51.2%) and fine particle dose (FPD) (40.0 µg of AFT) indicating deep lung deposition. Further cell viability studies of C1 NCMP, at a concentration of 0.75 μM on H-1975 NSCLC cell line showed a good toxicity profile comparable to PSL nanoparticles (NPs). The obtained data …

Optimal distribution network reconfiguration using meta-heuristic algorithms
… combines the concept of fuzzy Pareto dominance (FPD) with shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) to recognize non-dominated suboptimal solutions identified by SFLA. The local search step of SFLA is also customized for power systems applications so that it automatically creates and analyzes only …
