Airborne particulate matter (PM10 ) was collected from the atmosphere of the city of Isfahan. The concentration of heavy metals and anions associated with airborne particulate matter were determined using atomic absorption spectrometric and ion chromatographic techniques. A comparison was made between the variation in the concentration of PM10 and that for heavy metals and...

One of the most important aims of each treatment planning system is the ability of delivering a target conformal dose distribution. Developed and successful used within the heavy ion therapy pilot project, the TReatment plannIng for Particles ( TRiP )[1] is characterised by the capability of delivering exact results in relatively short time, making it possible to rapidly verify and, if necessar...

The capabilities of the CMS detector are shown and its Heavy Ion program is outlined. Presented at RHIC School 04, 4th Budapest Winter School on Heavy Ion Physics, Budapest, Hungary, December 1-3, 2004 Submitted to Acta Physica Hungarica Heavy Ion Physics Figure 1: Slice through CMS showing particles incident on the different sub-detectors.

It is argued that in heavy ion collisions at LHC there could be a sizeable production of baryons containing two or three heavy quarks from statistical coalescence. This production mechanism is peculiar of Quark Gluon Plasma and the predicted rates, in heavy ion collisions at LHC energy, should exceed those from a purely hadronic scenario, particularly for Ξbc and Ωccc. Thus, besides the interes...

In this talk I discuss novel explanations for the azimuthal correlations observed in heavy-ion collisions. I review some ideas about correlations and the evolution of heavy-ion collisions. Some aspects of the correlations observed in heavy-ion collisions may be indicitive of the suppression of superhorizon fluctuations.

the biosorption of heavy metals can be an effective process for the removal of such metal ions from aqueous solutions. in this study, the adsorption properties of nonliving biomass of phanerochaete chrysosporium for pb (ii) and zn (ii) were investigated by the use of batch adsorption techniques. the effects of initial metal ion concentration, initial ph, biosorbent concentration, stirring speed...

Heavy ions at high velocities provide very strong electromagnetic fields for a very short time. The main characteristics of ultraperipheral relativistic heavy ion collisions are reviewed, characteristic parameters are identified. The main interest in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions at relativistic ion colliders like the LHC is the interactions of very high energy (equivalent) photons with ...
