introduction: radiation induced bystander effect (ribe) which cause radiation effects in non-irradiated cells, has challenged the principle according to which radiation traversal through the nucleus of a cell is necessary for producing biological responses. what is the mechanism of this phenomenon? to have a better understanding of this rather ambiguous concept substantial number of original an...

A heuristic way to calculate the approximate value of the Casimir force is introduced

the aim of this study was to investigate the radioprotective effect of thymol as a natural product against salivary glands dysfunction induced by ionizing radiation in rats. the rats were treated with thymol at dose of 50 mg/kg before exposure to radiation at dose 15gy. salivary gland function was evaluated with radioisotope scintigraphy and then salivary gland to background counts ratio was ca...

The effect of UV beam, which has been emitted from a natural or a manmade source on cells has been studied in previous studies for several times. Radiation of this beam can have different effects on DNA of the cell, cytotoxicity, the structure of cellular proteins and their mechanical properties based on radiation period or frequency. The effect of radiation of two types of beams, namely UVB an...

I . INTRODUCTION SINCE the discovery of the x-ray by Roentgen, medical science has evinced great interest in elucidating its mode of action. Today, the problem is by no means completely solved. Certain facts, pirticularly those relating to the results obtained when tissues are subjected to direct radiation, are well established and widely accepted. For example, the aplasia of bone marrow result...

it has been recently shown that manufacturing p-n-junctions, field-effect and bipolar transistors, thyristors in a multilayer structure by diffusion or ion implantation with the optimization of dopant and/or radiation defects leads to increase the sharpness of p-n-junctions (both single p-n-junctions and p-n-junctions framework their system). due to the optimization, one can also obtain increas...

today, there is an increasing interest in the use of metal nanoparticles in health sciences. amongst all nanoparticles, the gold nanoparticles have been known to kill the cancer cells under hyperthermic condition by near-infrared frequency electromagnetic waves. on the other hand, although there are different physiochemical methods for disinfection of microbial pollution, however applications o...
