background: dosimetry is a fundamental part of the radiation processing industry. aqueous inorganic dosimeters have been used for gamma radiation dosimetry such as standard ferrous sulfate dosimeter. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of gamma radiation on the diethyl fumarate def in dimethyl sulfoxide dmso solution and its possible use in chemical dosimetry. materials and ...

background: gold nanoparticles (gnps) have been shown as a good radiosensitizer. in combination with radiotherapy, several studies with orthovoltage x-rays have shown considerable dose enhancement effects. this paper reports the dose enhancement factor (def) due to gnps in 18 megavoltage (mv) beams. materials and methods: different geometrical 50-nm gnps configurations at a concentration of 5 m...

Flowers of the temperature-sensitive DEFICIENS (DEF) mutant, def-101, display sepaloid petals and carpelloid stamens when grown at 26 degrees C, the non-permissive temperature. In contrast, when cultivated under permissive conditions at 15 degrees C, the morphology of def-101 flowers resembles that of the wild type. Temperature shift experiments during early and late phases of flower developmen...

The Cerrado-Amazon Transition region has a high deforested area in Brazil. Given the importance of forest maintaining climate this region, were evaluated patterns micrometeorological variables forested and areas Mato Grosso, Precipitation, solar radiation, average, minimum maximum air temperature, relative humidity, soil temperature wind speed measured into (FOR) (DEF). Precipitation studied hy...

In invertebrates, defensins were found in arthropods and in the mussels. Here, we report for the first time the identification and characterization of a defensin (Cg-Def) from an oyster. Cg-def mRNA was isolated from Crassostrea gigas mantle using an expressed sequence tag approach. To gain insight into potential roles of Cg-Def in oyster immunity, we produced the recombinant peptide in Escheri...

background: new treatment modalities are developed with the aim of escalating tumor absorbed dose and simultaneously sparing the normal structures. the use of nanotechnology in cancer treatment offers some possibilities including destroying cancer tumors with minimal damage to healthy tissues. zinc oxide nanoparticles (zno nps) are wide band gap semiconductors and seem to have a good effect on ...

Abstract The high cost of maintenance, repair and retrofitting concrete infrastructure to keep these structures durable serviceable is not sustainable, so the design process needs consider all aspects deterioration mechanism/s that can potentially occur in a structure. ideal solution should contribute sustainability by enhancing durability elements supporting circular economy. We studied delaye...

In the sequel M is a Petri net. Let us consider X , Y . Let us assume that X misses Y . The functor PTempty f (X ,Y ) yielding a strict Petri net is defined by: (Def. 4)2 PTempty f (X ,Y ) = 〈X ,Y, / 0〉. Let us consider X . The functor Tempty f (X) yields a strict Petri net and is defined by: (Def. 5) Tempty f (X) = PTempty f (X , / 0). The functor Pempty f (X) yields a strict Petri net and is ...
