The absorbed dose in water exposed to X or γ rays shows rapid changes the vicinity of interface with a medium for which Z value differs from that water. In high-energy range, phenomena may be analysed by studying various components flux secondary electrons affect this region non-electronic equilibrium. For 60Co behind wall material higher than is less within at electronic equilibrium (unless more 70); when front wall, 10 20 MV there always an overdosage interface, whatever direction...
Uncontrolled plasma formation on electrode surfaces limits performance in a wide variety of pulsed power devices such as electron and ion diodes, transmission lines, radio frequency (RF) cavities, microwave devices. Surface bulk contaminants the electrodes vacuum dominate composition these plasmas, formed through processes stimulated thermal desorption followed by ionization. We are applying RF discharge cleaning, anode heating, cathode cooling, substrate surface coatings to control effects...
Palliative care patients facing the end of their life often experience severe symptoms and seek complementary therapies for relief improved well-being. Clinical hypnosis is a promising mind-body therapy in palliative settings, benefiting both relatives. Nevertheless, access at end-of-life can be limited due to symptom severity restricted mobility.

Sensitivity specificity were calculated.Results: Both questionnaires had high sensitivity but showed a better than CRAFFT. A score higher 8 on scale appeared be an appropriate...
A questionnaire investigating adolescents' opinions and experiences regarding marijuana use was administered to 163 adolescents young adults (96 boys 67 girls) aged 13 20 (mean age = 16.8, s.d. 1.5). Items referred other substances' dangerousness, representations the positive negative consequences of use. Responses were compared according status (classified into never/occasional use, current regular past use). Results show that differ their experience with Current users evaluate as less...

Defense mechanisms, defined as psychological processes protecting the individual against emotional stress, may be a mediating factor improvement. Methods Using an adapted version Mechanism Rating Scale—Clinician, this study evaluated clinicians' defense and their possible modification after CST. Interviews with simulated patients oncology clinicians ( N =57)...
