a cytogenetic study was performed on m4 generation of gamma irradiated lines of shirpan cultivar of tetraploid cotton (gossypium hirsutum l.). a significant difference was observed in cytogenetical characteristics such as the number and type of quadrivalents as well as percentage of cells showing abnormality among the irradiated and non irradiated lines. cytomixis and post- pachytene diffuse st...

Current worldwide data show epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes with no real solutions apart from continuous calls to changing lifestyle and food habits. Despite health messages that are communicated by health authorities, the epidemic is growing. More people are affected with health consequences that are usually frightening as more resources are wasted, especially in areas where health ca...

Background: Radio-adaptive response and bystander effects are known phenomena occurring in cells following exposure to ionizing radiation (IR). In this study we examined possible radio-adaptation of lymphocytes following bystander effects induced by CHO-K1 cells. Materials and Methods: Whole blood and CHO-K1 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 complete medium. Cells were separately irradiated with...

Background: Radiation-induced bystander effect is a response which results in damage in non-irradiated cells in response to signals from the irradiated cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate microwave-induced bystander effect from a GSM mobile phone simulator on induction of apoptosis in Jurkat cell line. Materials and Methods: Jurkat cells were divided into three groups of non-...

background: irradiation is one of the major causes of induced sperm dna damage. various studies suggested a relation between sperm dna damage and fertilization rate after intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi). objective: in this study, fertilization rate and premature chromosome condensation (pcc) formation after icsi of hamster oocytes with irradiated sperms from normal and oligosperm indiv...

Abstract Some of the microorganisms in soil play important roles plant performance by improving mineral nutrition. Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient that has various functions and only obtained intake foods. Rice a staple food for Indonesian people. Increasing Zn concentration rice through fertilization gamma irradiated inoculants consortium effective way to accumulate grains. The objecti...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of radiation therapy (RT) on neurocognitive function in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). METHODS AND MATERIALS Thirty patients with NPC treated with intensity-modulated RT were included. Dose-volume histograms of the temporal lobes were obtained in every patient. Neurocognitive tests were administered individually to each patient 1 day before initi...

The theory of two-photon photoacoustic calorimetry (PAC) is developed for the case of a homogeneously irradiated volume and it is shown that the laser-intensity dependence of the photoacoustic signals can be used to determine the molar absorption coefficient of transient species. The application of the method is illustrated via the measurement of the absorption coefficients of benzophenone and ...

This research is aimed to undertake a comparative study on stability and thermal degradation kinetics of un-irradiated and high energy protons irradiated polyvinyl butyral (PVB) based on weight loss analysis and non-isothermal approaches. The weight loss by the un-irradiated PVB upon heating was found to be in two stages but due to high energy protons accelerated exposure following by chemical ...
