Introduction: The ultimate goal of radiation treatment planning is to yield a high tumor control probability (TCP) with a low normal tissue complication probability (NTCP). Historically  dose volume histogram (DVH) with only volumetric dose distribution was utilized as a popular tool for plan evaluation  hence present study aimed to compare the radiobiological effectiveness of the cobalt-60 (Co...

In this research effect of synthesis method of magnesium aluminate as support of Ni catalysts at the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction was evaluated. The RWGS reaction is applied in Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation to Form Methanol via a Reverse Water-Gas Shift Reaction (CAMERE) process for the transformation of CO2 into methanol. The MgAl2O4 supports were prepared by sol-gel (M1), surfactant...

A series of CuO-ZnO-Al2O3 nanoparticles over HZSM-5 were successfully prepared using different methods of batch co-precipitation, semibatch co-precipitation and combined co-precipitation-ultrasound. Nitrates of copper, zinc and aluminum were used as precursors, while Na-ZSM-5 was employed as composite support and sodium carbonate was used as precipitant agent. The effects of preparation methods...

In a carbon-constrained world, natural gas with low emission intensity plays an important role in the energy consumption area. Energy consumers and distribution networks are linked via energy hubs. Meanwhile, reconfiguration that optimizes operational performance while maintaining a radial network topology is a worldwide technique in the electricity distribution system. To improve the overall e...

Combined Transmission and Distribution Systems (CoTDS) simulation for power systems requires development of algorithms and software that are numerically stable and at the same time accurately simulate dynamic events that can occur in practical systems. The dynamic behavior of transmission and distribution systems are vastly different, especially with the increased deployment of distribution gen...

We report on the synthesis, morphology, chemically and structurally of La2O3-Co3O4-ZrO2 nanostructure. The La2O3-Co3O4-ZrO2 nanostructure was synthesized by a method based on the co-precipitation. Composite powders have been characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electr...

objective: this study aimed to evaluate a co-encapsulated pegylated nano-liposome system based on two herbal anti-tumor drugs, silibinin and glycyrrhizic acid, for delivery to a hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) cell line (hepg2). materials and methods: in this experimental study, co-encapsulated nano-liposomes by the thin layer film hydration method with hepes buffer and sonication at 60% amplitu...

Observations of carbon monoxide (CO) by the MAPS instrument onboard the Space Shuttle were assimilated into a global three-dimensional chemistry transport model using the Optimal Interpolation approach. The assimilation considerably improved the calculated distribution of CO in the troposphere. On the global scale, the adjustment of the CO eld resulting from the assimilation procedure was large...

The Mössbauer spectra of nanoferrite materials such as Ni0.25Mn0.75Fe2O4, Co0.5Mn0.5Fe2O4 and Ni0.4Co0.6Fe2O4 have been reported and the above materials were prepared by sol-gel combustion method using metal nitrates as source material and Polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) as...
