An approximate analytical solution of the Bethe equation for charged particles in the range of radiotherapy energy

Charged particles such as protons and carbon ions are an increasing tool in radiation therapy. However, unresolved physical problems prevent optimal performance, including estimating the deposited dose in non-homogeneous tissue, is an essential aspect of optimizing treatment. The Monte Carlo (MC) method can be used to estimate the amount of radiation, but, this powerful computing operation is v...

Gold nanoparticles as selective and concentrating probes for samples in MALDI MS analysis.

MALDI mass spectrometry is used widely in various fields because it has the characteristics of speed, ease of use, high sensitivity, and wide detectable mass range, but suppression effects between analyte molecules and interference from the sample matrix frequently arise during MALDI analysis. The suppression effects can be avoided if target species are isolated from complicated matrix solution...

Surface charge effects on optical trapping of nanometer-sized lipid vesicles.

Optical trapping of nanometer-sized lipid vesicles has been challenging due to the low refractive index contrast of the thin lipid bilayer to the aqueous medium. Using an "optical bottle", a recently developed technique to measure interactions of nanoparticles trapped by an infrared laser, we report, for the first time, quantitative measurements of the trapping energy of charged lipid vesicles....

Adsorption of Basic Blue 41 from Aqueous Solution onto Coconut Fiber Particles

In this research, adsorption experiments were carried out for removal of Basic Blue 41(BB41) dye from an aqueous solution, using coconut fiber particles (CFP) as a low-cost biosorbent. The characteristics of coconut fiber particles weredeterminedwith a scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) techniques. The effects of initial pH, biosorbentdose, contact time,...
