CABLE ROBOTS AS CONVENTIONAL LINEAR STAGE ALTERNATIVES FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF COMPLEX-SHAPED OBJECTS VIA MACROSCOPIC X-RAY FLUORESCENCE IMAGING

Cable Robots as Conventional Linear Stage Alternatives for the Investigation of Complex-Shaped Objects via Macroscopic X-ray Fluorescence Imaging

The acquisition of elemental and chemical distribution images on the surface of cultural heritage objects has provided us new insights into our past.The techniques commonly employed, such as macroscopic X-ray fluorescence imaging (MA-XRF), in general require pointwise or whisk-broom scanning of an object under constant measurement geometry for opti

Low flow low gradient aortic stenosis: clinical pathways

Aortic stenosis patients with severe LV dysfunction and low cardiac output present with relatively low transvalvular gradients.It is difficult to distinguish them from aortic sclerosis and LV dysfunction with low cardiac output.The former condition is severe AS with LV dysfunction and latter is primarily a contractile dysfunction.Dobutamine stress
