A Semiempirical Model of Tumor Pretargeting

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

A pretargeting system for tumor PET imaging and radioimmunotherapy

Labeled antibodies, as well as their fragments and antibody-derived recombinant constructs, have long been proposed as general vectors to target radionuclides to tumor lesions for imaging and therapy. They have indeed shown promise in both imaging and therapeutic applications, but they have not fulfilled the original expectations of achieving sufficient image contrast for tumor detection or suf...

Semiempirical Model for Adsorption of Binary Mixtures

As it can clearly be observed in Figure 1a and 2a in the paper, the total coverage of the biggest species (in this case k = 6) has a maximum and later decreases to a limit value. This behavior is known as adsorption preference reversal (APR) and has also been observed in theoretical calculations and Monte Carlo simulations [1, 2]. The APR phenomenon usually is attributed to presence of repulsiv...

Semiempirical model of positron scattering and annihilation

A two-parameter semiempirical theory of positron scattering and annihilation is developed and used to investigate the behavior of positrons interacting with the rare gases and metal vapors. The two-parameter theory is able to do a reasonable job of reproducing existing cross section and annihilation data for the rare gases. A model-potential calculation that correctly predicts the behavior of t...
