Rapid and facile preparation of the cheap modified electrode materials is an important parameter in development of the efficient electrochemical sensor for industrial scale production and mass-market usage. In the present work, the carbon paste electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was prepared for sensitive determination of lead (Pb) ion in the presence of bismuth (Bi)...

The prevalence of and mortality due to lung cancer have been steadily increasing worldwide. Based on differences in treatment strategies, lung cancer can be classified as non-smallcell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). NSCLC mainly consists of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, comprising about 80% of the total lung cancer cases. The treatment strategy for NSCLC is...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare carbon ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT) and stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) with photon beams for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), specifically with regard to the dose volume parameters for target coverage and normal tissue sparing. METHODS Data of 10 patients who were treated using C-ion RT with a total dose of 60 Gy(RBE) in fou...
