Introduction: The commercial 252Cf sources are too large in size and clinical applications of neutron brachytherapy (NBT) are limited to a small number of intracavitary treatments of cervical cancers. Recently, under the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Isotron Inc., the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) encapsulated a new medical 252Cf sources, c...

The magnitudes of basic slag (BS) at 0, 10, 20 and 30 t ha-1 on iron dynamics in two acid sulfate soils (ASSs) under moisture field capacity, saturated condition wetting-drying cycle were studied during months incubation (25-30 0C). impacts BS Sarisabari ASS almost similar as those obtained Purbapukuria various treatments, but the increments pHs not pronounced observed ASS. pH values increased ...

Delhi faces some of the world’s highest concentrations PM2.5, most damaging form air pollution. Although awareness outdoor pollution is rising across world, there limited information on indoor (IAP) levels, particularly in heavily polluted cities like Delhi. Even less evidence exists how IAP varies by socio-economic status (SES), and whether or not addressing gaps can change defensive investmen...

In the present study, 7% silver-low-density thin polyethylene films were successfully prepared through the melt mixing method. These films were applied to reduce the harmful antibacterial properties of Huso huso fillets at refrigeration temperatures, thus extending their shelf life. The total viable bacteria count for H. huso fillets wrapped in a 7% Ag/LDPE nanocomposite was 3.04±2.43 (log CFU/...

An extraordinarily large pi system based on tetrachloro-tetra(perylene bisimides) with very broad absorption spectra from the UV to the NIR region and an extremely strong electron-accepting ability has been synthesized from tetrachloro-di(perylene bisimides).
