Determining the earthquake hazard of any settlement is one primary studies for reducing damage. Therefore, maps used this purpose must be renewed over time. Turkey Earthquake Hazard Map has been instead Zones since 2019. A probabilistic seismic was performed by using these last two and different attenuation relationships Bitlis Province (Eastern Turkey) were located in Lake Van Basin, which a h...

the sporozoites of theileria annulata invade bovine mhc ii cells, where they differentiate into schizonts. the later can immortalize and induce fundamental changes in their host cells. live attenuated vaccine is an important way of controlling t. annulata infection of cattle. production is by prolonged cultivation of macroschizont-infected cells. the mechanisms underlying this transformation ar...

introduction: globally, the need for radiotherapy as a part of cancer management increases every year. thus, the shielding for megavoltage radiotherapy rooms is of great importance. materials and methods: in the present study, 14 types of developed high-density concrete with densities ranging from 2.45 to 5.11 were simulated by using monte carlo method. the linear attenuation coefficient and th...

introduction:  the use of radioactive iodine (131i) has become an important adjunct to the treatment of thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism. salivary gland has the ability to concentrate radioactive iodine under normal circumstances. salivary gland dysfunction and dry mouth are the common side effectsof high-dose radioiodine therapy. the purposeof this study was to determine the absorbed dose of...

Average vertical attenuation coefficients, K(av), for irradiance calculated by linear regression of ln E(z) on z through the euphotic zone or from two irradiance values in a certain depth interval, are useful but somewhat arbitrary procedures for estimating these important apparent optical properties of the ocean. A more fundamental approach is to calculate an irradiance-weighted coefficient, K...

BACKGROUND Substance consumption (SC) begins in adolescence and has been linked to protection factors such as family relationships (FR) and positive parenting (PP). There are few studies concerning the effectiveness of prevention programs based on the family, even though assessing interventions is one of the objectives of preventive science. The aim of this study was to analyze the evidence on ...

The attenuation of the signal introduced by propagation path between source compromising emanation (the location secured IT equipment) and antenna potential infiltrating system has a direct influence on electromagnetic safety equipment. article presents original analytical relationships necessary to estimate values signal, which correspond most probable locations equipment in relation system. a...

Bioremediation, the process by which microorganisms degrade organic compounds to non-toxic or less toxic substances, has been widely used for cleanup of coastal ecosystems after oil spills. In this study, the hydrocarbon degradation rate and half lives in three bioremediation strategies (natural attenuation, biostimulation, and bioaugmentation) were compared in weathered crude oil (WCO) contami...

Background: High density concrete is extensively used for efficient radiation attenuation in radiotherapy rooms and nuclear reactors. Over the past eight years, some efficient galena-based concrete samples for shielding X or gamma rays was produced. The goal of this study was to produce a novel high density concrete against neutron and photon radiations using tourmaline and galena. Materials an...
