The beam characteristics and dosimetric measurements of the 10MV X-ray beam from a Mevatron KD linear accelerator are examined. The Percent Depth Dose (POD) table and the Tissue Maximum Ratio (TMR) table are taken from measurement as a function of the field size and the depth. The calculated TMR table from PDD table is compared with those from measurement. Other beam characteristics such as output factor, beam profile (including flatness, symmetry and penumbra), wedge, and the variation of Dmax are presented.

One of the most important task in commissioning intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) into a clinic is the characterization of dosimetry performance under small monitor unit delivery conditions. In this study, method of evaluating dose monitor linearity, beam flatness and symmetry, and MLC positioning accuracy using a diode array is investigated. Siemens Primus linear accelerator (LA) with 6 and 10 MV x-rays was used to deliver radiation and the characteristics were measured using a multi array diodes. Monitor unit stabilities were measured for both x-ray energies. The dose linearity errors for the 6 MV x-ray were 2.1, 3.4, 6.9, 8.6, and 15.4 % when 20 MU, 10 MU, 5 MU, 4 MU, and 2 MU was delivered, respectively. Greater errors were observed for 10 MV x-rays with a maximum of 22% when 2 MU was delivered. These errors were corrected by adjusting D1_C0 values and reduced to less than 2% in all cases. The beam flatness and symmetry were appropriate without any correction. The picket fence test performed using diode array and film measurement showed similar results. The use of diode array is a convenient method in characterizing beam stability, symmetry and flatness, and positioning accuracy of MLC for IMRT commissioning. In addition, adjustment of D1-C0 value must be performed when a Siemens LA is used for IMRT because factory value usually gives unacceptable beam stability error when the MU/segment is smaller than 20.

We studied the effect of Dy content on the magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite single crystal. The $CoFe_{1.9}Dy_{0.1}O_4$ single crystals were grown by the flux method by using $Na_2B_4O_{7.}10H_2O$ (Borax) as a solvent (flux). The black and shiny single crystals were obtained as a product. The X-ray diffraction test at room temperature confirmed the spinel cubic symmetry with lattice constant a = $8.42{\AA}$ of the single crystals. The presences of constitute elements (Co, Fe and Dy) was endorsedby EDAX analysis. The saturation magnetization (Ms) of $CoFe_{1.9}Dy_{0.1}O_4$ single crystals was measured and is found to be 72emu/g or equivalently $3.2{\mu}B$/f.u. at 300 K. The observed Ms and coercivity (Hc) is found to be lower than that of pure $CoFe_2O_4$.

The approximate crystal structure of benzidine monoperchlorate has been determined by single crystal X-Ray diffraction technique and patterson method. As the molecule has a center of symmetry in it and location of perchlorate ion is symmetrically on the mirror plane in the unit cell, perchlorate ion is forming hydrogen bond with two -$NH_2$ groups in the different molecule. Thus, one molecule of benzidine and perchloric acid combines 1:1 by mole ratio.

The crystal structure of fenbufen was determined by X-ray diffraction techniuques. The compound was recrystallized in orthorhombic crystal system, space group $Pca2_1$ a = 31. 918(10), b = 5.550 (2), c = 15.078 (9) ${\AA}, D_m$= $1.26, {\D_x$= 1.264 g/$\textrm{cm}^3$, and Z = 8. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares procedure to the final R value of 0.051 for 1780 independent reflections. Two molecules in the asymmetric unit are related by a pseudo center of symmetry and dimerized via O-H...O hydrogen bonds. The carbonyl group attached to the phenyl ring is nearly coplanar to the ring. In the crystal the molecules are arranged in paralle stacks in the a direction.

FINEMET type nanocrystalline materials synthesized by controlled crystallization of amorphous ribbons[1] exhibit excellent soft magnetic properties making them attractive for technological applications. Present work reports the electronic structure studies of Co-substituted FINEMET to get information on the effect of successive Co substitution on local environment around Fe and Co atom by using near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements. NEXAFS spectroscopy and XMCD measurements have been carried out at Fe $L_{3,2}$ and Co $L_{3,2}$-edges to investigate the chemical states and electronic structure of FINEMET [$(Fe_{100-x}Co_x)_{78}Si_9Nb_3Cu_1Ba$](0$L_{3,2}$-edge reveal that Fe is in 2+ state and in tetrahedral symmetry with other elements. The magnetic properties exhibiting soft magnetic behavior[2] are discussed on the basis of the electronic structure studied through XMCD.

In the process of re-checking the phase relations of the Pt-Sb system the previously reported Pt4+Sb phase did not occur. Instead, Pt34Sb7 phase with an average chemical composition (wt%) Pt 89.3, Sb 11.4, total 100.7, has been newly found to exist, and the formula Pt34Sb7 has been tentatively assigned to it, It is pale brownish grey to yellowish grey under refloecting microscope and non-bireflectant, VHN100=225 (206-243). X-ray powder patterns are (d(I/Io)): 2.318(100), 2.293(100), 2.110(30), 1.440(50), 1.390(15), 1.283(5), 1.203(70) and 1.192(40)$\AA$. They are indexable on the basis of tertragonal cell with $\alpha$=3.948(3), c=16.85(1)$\AA$. A question whether the tetragonal Pt34Sb7 is the new phase or a polymorph of the cubic Pt4+Sb phase remains unclear and awaits better X-ray diffraction, electron microprobe analysis and DTA for the Pt4+Sb phase. The Pt3Sb phase reported to be of tetragonal symmetry has been confirmed to exist. It is greyish yellow in air and in oil, very weakly bireflectant, and weakly anisotropic. VHN25=216 (183-240). Its X-ray powder data have been successively indexed on a tetragonal cell with $\alpha$=3.9455(7), c=16.959(5)$\AA$.

Recently, the number of techniques for analyzing medical images has been increasing in computer vision, employing X-ray CT images, ultrasound images, MR images, moire topographic images, etc. Spinal deformity is a serious problem especially for teenagers and medical doctors inspect moire topographic images of their backs visually for the primary screening. If a subject is normal, the moire image is almost symmetric with respect to the middle line of the subject's back, otherwise it shows asymmetric shape. In this paper, an image analysis technique is described for discriminating suspicious cases from normal in human spinal deformity by recognizing asymmetric moire images of human backs. The principal axes which are sensitive to asymmetry of the moire image are extracted at two parts on a subject's back and their angles are evaluated with respect to the detected middle line of the back. The two angles compose a 2-D feature space and inspected cases are divided into two clusters in the space by a linear discriminant function based on the Mahalanobis distance. Given 120 cases, 60 normal and 60 abnormal, the leave-out method was applied for the recognition and 75% recognition rate was achieved.

In this paper, we propose a 3-D finite element (FE) analysis model with combined physical behavior and kinematical impact factors for evaluation of residual stress in multi-impact shot peening. The FE model considers both physical behavior of material and characteristics of kinematical impact. The physical parameters include elastic-plastic FE modeling of shot ball, material damping coefficient, dynamic friction coefficient. The kinematical parameters include impact velocity and diameter of shot ball. Multi-impact FE model consists of 3-D symmetry-cell. We can describe a certain repeated area of peened specimen under equibiaxial residual stress by the cell. With the cell model, we investigate the FE peening coverage, dependency on the impact sequence, effect of repeated cycle. The proposed FE model provides converged and unique solution of surface stress, maximum compressive residual stress and deformation depth at four impact positions. Further, in contrast to the rigid and elastic shots, plastically deformable shot produces residual stresses closer to experimental solutions by X-ray diffraction. Consequently, it is confirmed that the FE model with peening factors and plastic shot is valid for multi-shot peening analyses.
