The extended lobes of radio galaxies are examined as sources of X-ray and gamma-ray emission via inverse Compton scattering of 3K background photons. The Compton spectra of two exemplary examples, Fornax A and Centaurus A, are estimated…
Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women in Canada and the United States, representing over 25\% of all new female cancer cases. As such, there has been immense research and progress on improving screening and…
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed human cancer in the United States at present. Early detection is crucial for its successful treatment. X-ray mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis are currently the main methods for…
