Hydration of oxygen-deficient metal oxides causes filling of oxygen vacancies and formation of hydroxyl groups with interstitial structural protons, rotating around the oxygen in localized motion. Thermal activation from 500 to 800 K triggers delocalization of the protons by jumping to adjacent oxygen ions, constituting proton conductivity. We report quantitative analyses of proton and lattice ...

introduction proton therapy is used to treat malignant tumors such as melanoma inside the eye. proton particles are adjusted according to various parameters such as tumor size and position and patient’s distance from the proton source. the purpose of this study was to assess absorbed doses in eyes and various tumors found in the area of sclera and choroid and the adjacent tissues in radiotherap...

Introduction: Many study shown the effectiveness dose enhancement with gold nanoparticles (GNPs), especially with low-energy x-rays. Recently, proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) has attention as a treatment for tumors. The advantage in PBRT, which releases high dose at the controllable Bragg peak position that localized for Au target and the released dose increased in depth....

Introduction: The proton beam produced in particle accelerators has an appropriate therapeutic potential. In this research, proton therapy of breast cancer is simulated using the MCNPX code in a MIRD phantom, also the contribution of scattered neutron dose during the proton therapy were calculated for the Heart, Lung and Liver.   Materials and Methods: For si...

: 1h nmr spectra of a series of enaminones r-co-ch=c(nhch2ph)-r  [1, r=ch3; 2, r=c6h5; 3, r=cf3; 4, r=ch2ch2ch2; 5, r=ch2c(ch3)2ch2], were obtained in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid in cdcl3 or dmso-d6 at 28 °c. steric, solvent, electronic and hydrogen bonding effects on the rates of acid-catalyzed nh proton exchanges were investigated. rate constants were calculated by 1h nmr line shape ...

Introduction: High-energy beams of protons offer significant advantages for the treatment of deepseated local tumors. Their physical depth-dose distribution in tissue is characterized by a small entrance dose and a distinct maximum -Bragg peak- near the end of range with a sharp fall-off at the distal edge. Alongside its advantages there are some point that they need to meticul...
