Let Vn be the vector space of real n×n symmetric matrices and Pn the open cone of positive definite symmetric matrices in Vn. By m1(a), we denote the arithmetical minimum infx∈Zn\{0} xax of a ∈ Pn. The Hermite invariant is the positive valued function γ on Pn defined by γ(a) = m1(a)/det(a). Its maximum γn is called Hermite’s constant. The determination of γn is one of main problems in lattice s...

A lasing charactrization of a Brillouin/erbium optical fiber laser (BEFL) is experimentally discussed. In the BEFL, an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is incorporated into the Brillouin laser resonator to enhance small Brillouin gain, which makes the configuration of the Brillouin laser resonator easy and flexible. The experimental results show that the output power of the BEFL has a thresh...

The high expression of somatostatin receptors in many tumours, have made receptor scintigraphy with 111In-DTPA-Octreotide a widly used procedure in nuclear medicine. Despite its clinical success, some limitation and drawbacks of radiolabelling with 111In remain, especially those concerned with the cost, availability and physical decay properties of this radionuclide. 99mTc-EDDA/HYNIC-Tyr3...

The incorporation of copper species is synthesized  in a silica matrix by the sol-gel method. We have doped copper ions and copper particles using two different copper sources: Cu(NO3)2.3H2O and copper particles chemically synthesized. We can prepare the particles of copper metallic, cuprous and cupric oxide and  compare the synthesis and characterization copper species on the silica matrix.  O...
