Bangladesh, an alluvial and deltaic land of 147,570 square km, is prone to various natural disasters such as cyclones, floods, and droughts (Ahmad et al., 2001). The total population is about 130 million. The people of this country are still overburdened with various infectious diseases and ailments due to malnutrition. Unfortunately one more environmental hazard from geological sources – arsen...

PN G 218 . 9 - 10 . 7 : a galactic emission nebula of unique morphology ?

We present an Hα + [N II] narrow band image and optical spectra of the galactic nebula PN G218.9-10.7 that has been hardly studied up to now and is suspected to be a planetary nebula. Its morphology is quite unusual: the nebula appears to consist of both symmetric components and asymmetric diffuse ones, and also displays long straight filaments in the east. It rather looks like a combination of...

Preparation and evaluation of 67Ga-DOTA-Bombesin (7-14) as a tumor scintigraphic agent

  Introduction: Bombesin is a 14-aminoacid peptide isolated from frog skin. The mammalian counterparts of the frog peptide are neuromedin B (NMB) and gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP). Bombesin (BBN) is a peptide showing high affinity for the gastrin releasing peptide receptor (GRPr). Prostate, small cell lung cancer, breast, gastric, and colon cancers are known to over...

The motor cortex: a network tuned to 7-14 Hz

The neocortex or six layer cortex consists of at least 52 cytoarchitectonically distinct areas in humans, and similar areas can be distinguished in rodents. Each of these areas has a defining set of extrinsic connections, identifiable functional roles, a distinct laminar arrangement, etc. Thus, neocortex is extensively subdivided into areas of anatomical and functional specialization, but less ...
