gamma rays pose enough energy to remove electrons from atoms of absorbing material including human body and adversely affect human health. the external exposure of human beings to natural environmental gamma radiation normally exceeds that from all man-made sources combined. therefore, we monitored gamma dose rate in indoor environments and estimated corresponding annual effective dose in selec...

Background: As a T helper type 1 (Th1) derived cytokine, Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is an important regulator of inflammatory immune responses. Furthermore, IFN-γ plays an essential role in defense against tumors and intracellular pathogens. This study was designed to assess the pattern of IFN-γ production in human leukemic (Jurkat and Molt-4) T cell lines in vitro. Methods: Ju...

Let $R$ be a ring (not necessarily commutative) with nonzero identity. We define $Gamma(R)$ to be the graph with vertex set $R$ in which two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if there exist unit elements $u,v$ of $R$ such that $x+uyv$ is a unit of $R$. In this paper, basic properties of $Gamma(R)$ are studied. We investigate connectivity and the girth of $Gamma(R)$, where $...

several common approaches are used for disinfection of water in this section, but using the approaches (e.g. chlorination) are accompanied with hazardous by-products and also lead to notable changes in odor and flavor of water. gamma irradiation as an emerging method has been encouraged currently by fao/who for water, wastewater and food treatment. coliform bacteria belong to common contaminant...

background: previous investigations have revealed, cimetidine, a histamine h2-receptor antagonist, show radioprotective effects against gamma- and neutron-induced micronuclei in bone marrow erythrocytes. in this study, the anticlastogenic effects of famotidine and ranitidine, which act similar to cimetidine as histamine h2-receptor antagonists, was investigated. materials and methods : balb/c m...

This paper presents a new automatic image enhancement method by modifying the gamma value of its individual pixels. Most of existing gamma correction methods apply a uniform gamma value across the image. Considering the fact that gamma variation for a single image is actually nonlinear, the proposed method locally estimates the gamma values in an image using support vector machine. First, a dat...

‎in this text we prove that in generalized shift dynamical system $(x^gamma,sigma_varphi)$‎ ‎for finite discrete $x$ with at least two elements‎, ‎infinite countable set $gamma$ and‎ ‎arbitrary map $varphi:gammatogamma$‎, ‎the following statements are equivalent‎: ‎ - the dynamical system $(x^gamma,sigma_varphi)$ is‎ li-yorke chaotic;‎ - the dynamical system $(x^gamma,sigma_varphi)$ has‎ an scr...

This paper consider the   general  forms of $(alpha,beta)$-fuzzyleft ideals (right ideals, bi-ideals, interior ideals) of an orderedsemigroup, where$alpha,betain{in_{gamma},q_{delta},in_{gamma}wedgeq_{delta}, in_{gamma}vee q_{delta}}$ and $alphaneqin_{gamma}wedge q_{delta}$. Special attention is paid to$(in_{gamma},ivq)$-left ideals (right ideals, bi-ideals, interiorideals) and some related  pr...

Background: Chronic low-grade inflammation may be a cardinal pathophysiologic feature in the pathogenesis of frailty. Interferon-gamma (INF-γ) is an understudied proinflammatory cytokine in frailty that induces many inflammatory pathways including the guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase 1 (GTP-CH1) pathway. Our aim was to evaluate the GTP-CH1 pathway in Egyptian frail elderly subjects. ...
