exposure buildup factors have been calculated by monte carlo method for point isotropic gamma ray sources, penetrating a two-layer spherical shield of water surrounded by lead, and the effect of bremsstrahlung radiation on buildup factors has, in particular, been investigated, the results of which are in good agreement with previous works. the buildup factors were then calculated for various co...

large quantities of radiopharmaceuticals prescribed for treatment and diagnosis are excreted through kidney. therefore, radiation unwanted dose is created in kidney. as a result, exact calculation of prescribed radiopharmaceuticals amount is important. monte carlo method is used for simulation of radiation transport in body due to random nature of radiation. in this research, for the first time...

background: currently available radioprotectors are poorly tolerated in man and the general use of aminothiols is compromised by their side effects. this study was carried out to test and compare the radioprotective potential of cimetidine and famotidine against lethally gamma irradiated nmri mice. materials and methods: adult male nmri mice in groups of 10 were exposed to various doses of gamm...

background and aim: micro rnas are a group of small non-coding rnas which play an important role in multiple processes such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and cancer. recent studies indicate that mir-210 is overexpressed into erythroid linage during the differentiation of hematopoietic precursor. the main goal of the present study is to investigate the influence of mir-210 on the...

 Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M$ be an $R$-module with $T(M)$ as subset, the set of torsion elements. The total graph of the module denoted by $T(Gamma(M))$, is the (undirected) graph with all elements of $M$ as vertices, and for distinct elements $n,m in M$, the vertices $n$ and $m$ are adjacent if and only if $n+m in T(M)$. In this paper we study the domination number of $T(Gamma(M))$ a...
