We have evaluated the NMR shielding tensors for A:T,G:C,A:U in Watson-crick, and U-quartet. We have computed NMR shielding tensors at B31YP level by using 6-31G(d) basis set. We have compute anisotropy and asymmetry in A:T,G:C,A:U and U-quartet. The NMR shielding tensors were calculated using the GIAO method. The natural bonding orbital analysis (NBO) were performed. NBO calculation have been ...

A key task for customs workers is the interception of hazardous, illegal and counterfeit items in order to protect health safety citizens. However, it estimated that only a small fraction cargo inspected an even smaller trafficked goods are detected. Today, most widely used technology scanning vehicles, ranging from vans trucks railcars, γ ray X-ray radiography. New technologies required overco...

background identification of common technical errors during preparation of panoramic radiographs, how affect the quality and interpretation of the radiographs and the techniques used to deal with such errors, might help prevent unnecessary radiation to patients and save their time and money. objectives the current study aimed to identify common errors in the panoramic radiographs taken by post-...

Numerical simulation of shielding effectiveness (SE) of a perforated shielding enclosure is carried out, using the finite element method (FEM). Possibilities of model definitions and differences between 2D and 3D models are discussed. An important part of any simulation is verification of the model results—here the simulation result are verified in terms of convergence of the model in dependenc...

Applications of liquid crystals (LCs), such as smart windows and the ubiquitous display devices, are based on controlling the orientational and translational order in a small volume of LC medium. Hence, understanding the effects of confinement to the liquid crystal phase behaviour is essential. The NMR shielding of (129)Xe atoms dissolved in LCs constitutes a very sensitive probe to the details...

Introduction: Long bone examination in standing position, as one of the diagnostic methods in plain radiography, is most commonly used in the field of medical diagnosis, especially leg length discrepancy. However, with regard to this examination, reproductive organs are exposed to radiation as they are placed in the adjacent area to the long bone. Due to the sensitivit...

A new thermoplastic material with extremely desirable physical and radiation shielding properties is presented. The material softens between 108 degrees F and 132 degrees F and can then be easily molded to any desired shape. As it cools down it hardens at about 102 degrees F, retaining its molded shape. It is very light (rho = 1.66 g/cc), compared to most other compensating and shielding materi...

Neoclassical shielding is the dominant mechanism reducing the collisionless zonal flow in a tokamak. Previously, this phenomenon was analyzed in the case of an essentially homogeneous equilibrium since the wavelength of the zonal flow perturbation was assumed to be much less than the scale length of background plasma parameters. This assumption is not appropriate in a tokamak pedestal. Therefor...

We present nuclear spin-rotation constants, absolute nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shielding constants, and shielding spans of all the nuclei in (175)LuX and (197)AuX (X = (19)F, (35)Cl, (79)Br, (127)I), calculated using coupled-cluster singles-and-doubles with a perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) correction theory, four-component relativistic density functional theory (relativistic DFT), and no...

This paper demonstrates that the addition of chemical agents and carbon fibers to cement can greatly enhance the shielding effectiveness of the concrete. In addition to improving the shielding effectiveness, carbon fibers and chemical agents enhance the tensile and flexural strengths significant ly. As both carbon fibers and steel fibers are electrically conductive, both can be added to cement ...
