KvazielastiÄno rasprÅ”enje elektrona na 4He izmeÄu 328 i 725 MeV
4He(e,eĖ) cross section data at 328, 365 and 725 MeV have been analyzed using the quasi-free scattering (QFS) model of Lightbody and O\u27Connell. The QFS model provides an improved description of the shape and magnitude of the cross section data when compared with plane-wave impulse approximation calculations, particularly at higher values of the electron energy loss. Although the nucleon separation energy is about 20 MeV in 4He, the best QFS results are obtained for a 6 MeV value.Podaci za udarni presjek 4He na energijama od 328, 365 i 725 MeV analizirani su koristeÄi model kvazi-slobodnog rasprÅ”enja Lightbodyja i O\u27Connella. Model omoguÄava poboljÅ”an opis oblika i iznosa udarnog presjeka u odnosu na rezultate dobivene u aproksimaciji impulsa ravnih valova. To naroÄito vrijedi za veÄe gubitke energije elektrona. Iako je energija separacije oko 20 MeV u 4He, najbolji rezultati dobiveni su za 6 MeV-a
Radiotherapy Dose Optimization in Target Tissues Using Internal Radiation-Generating Devices and Microspheres
Preferentially delivering ionizing radiation to target tissues during radiotherapy procedures is investigated using internal radiation-generating devices and microspheres loaded with radioactive material. This chapter presumes the existence of internal radiation-generating devices and develops their requisite characteristics to permit the selective irradiation of tumors. The feasibility of disrupting a tumorās vascular structure is also investigated. Calculated absorbed dose profiles for both approaches demonstrate that dose can be successfully localized in a target tissue while minimizing the delivery to healthy tissue
Finite-Difference and Pseudospectral Time-Domain Methods Applied to Backwards-Wave Metamaterials
Backwards-wave (BW) materials that have simultaneously negative real parts of
their electric permittivity and magnetic permeability can support waves where
phase and power propagation occur in opposite directions. These materials were
predicted to have many unusual electromagnetic properties, among them
amplification of the near-field of a point source, which could lead to the
perfect reconstruction of the source field in an image [J. Pendry, Phys. Rev.
Lett. \textbf{85}, 3966 (2000)]. Often systems containing BW materials are
simulated using the finite-difference time-domain technique. We show that this
technique suffers from a numerical artifact due to its staggered grid that
makes its use in simulations involving BW materials problematic. The
pseudospectral time-domain technique, on the other hand, uses a collocated grid
and is free of this artifact.
It is also shown that when modeling the dispersive BW material, the linear
frequency approximation method introduces error that affects the frequency of
vanishing reflection, while the auxiliary differential equation, the Z
transform, and the bilinear frequency approximation method produce vanishing
reflection at the correct frequency. The case of vanishing reflection is of
particular interest for field reconstruction in imaging applications.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures, accepted by IEEE Transactions on Antennas and

Izrazi za zakrivljenost u opÄoj teoriji relativnosti
A clear physical description of a variety of spacetime geometries is provided in terms of the various connection coefficients and curvature-related tensors. The affine connection coefficients, the Riemann curvature tensor, Ricci tensor, scalar curvature and Einstein tensor, and associated discussion is provided for flat spacetime, the Schwarzschild geometry, the Morris-Thorne wormhole geometry, the FriedmannRobertson-Walker geometry, and a static spherical geometry.Daje se jasan opis niza prostorno-vremenskih geometrija preko veznih koeficijenata i tenzora zakrivljenosti koji se rabe u teoriji.

Nastanak centripetalnog ubrzanja u FrenetāSerretovom sustavu
A clear physical description of a particle\u27s motion in terms of the components of its acceleration is obtained if the trajectory is described in terms of the Frenet-Serret frame. Within this frame, centripetal acceleration emerges as a natural consequence of a particle\u27s motion.Ako se putanja Äestice opisuje u FrenetāSerretovom sustavu, postiže se jasan fiziÄki opis njenog gibanja preko komponenata njenog ubrzanja. U tom se sustavu centripetalno ubrzanje javlja kao prirodna posljedica gibanja Äestice
Single Band Antenna For Ism Remote Controls
Disclosed herein is a novel antenna device design that could be applied in hand-held radio band remote controls for devices. Accordingly, the antenna structure uses a unique ground cut-out and capacitive coupling to the ground structure on a PCB that includes a button located on the other side of the antenna. The design utilizes the close proximity of the battery and battery terminal as part of the antenna structure and their relative placement could be tuned to maintain performance. Further, the selection of inductive chokes for the button control pins allows the antenna to continue to operate without significant degradation to radiated efficiency. The design includes comparable performance while in free space as well as when hand-held. Because of the exact placement of the radiating structures, hand holding does not cause the antenna center frequency to detune as seen with other designs
