In this study, beta nanozeolite, ultra-stable Y zeolite (USY) and amorphous silica-alumina (ASA) were synthesized. These compounds were used as the support of hydrocracking catalyst. Ni-Mo/beta zeolite-ASA and Ni-Mo/USY zeolite-ASA catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method. The samples were characterized with X-Ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM)...

The structure of iso-grayanotoxin II, a new diterpenoid from Leucothoe grayana MAX., has been determined as 3 beta,5 beta,6 beta,14 beta,16 alpha-pentahydroxygrayanotox-9(10)-ene by spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analysis. The lethal dosage level of iso-grayanotoxin II in mice was lower than that of grayanotoxin III.

background: skin cancer can be treated by various methods. electron radiotherapy has been a useful therapeutic modality in the treatment of skin cancers in areas which are difficult to cure by other methods. depth dose distribution of 166ho using varskin2 code is presented in this work. material and methods: depth dose distribution of 166ho was calculated, using varskin2 code by adding of 166ho...

Amyloid fibril deposition is central to the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. X-ray diffraction from amyloid fibrils formed from full-length Abeta(1-40) and from a shorter fragment, Abeta(11-25), have revealed cross-beta diffraction fingerprints. Magnetic alignment of Abeta(11-25) amyloid fibrils gave a distinctive X-ray diffraction texture, allowing interpretation of the diffraction data and a...

Background: The formalism recommended by Task Group 60 (TG-60) of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) is applicable for β sources. Radioactive biocompatible and biodegradable 153Sm glass seed without encapsulation is a β- emitter with a short half life and delivers a high dose rate to the tumor in the millimeter range. In this work the dosimetry parameters of the ...

X-ray diffraction and other biophysical tools reveal features of the atomic structure of an amyloid-like crystal. Sup35, a prion-like protein in yeast, forms fibrillar amyloid assemblies intrinsic to its prion function. We have identified a polar peptide from the N-terminal prion-determining domain of Sup35 that exhibits the amyloid properties of full-length Sup35, including cooperative kinetic...

Beta-delayed neutron emission and $\ensuremath{\beta}$-delayed fission ($\ensuremath{\beta}\mathrm{df}$) probabilities were calculated for heavy, neutron-rich nuclei using the Los Alamos coupled quasiparticle random-phase approximation plus Hauser-Feshbach ($\mathrm{QRPA}+\mathrm{HF}$) approach. In this model, compound nucleus is initially populated by $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay followed throug...

Methodology has been developed for the general synthesis of optically active beta-amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides (beta-NCAs) through cyclization of N(beta)-Boc or N(beta)-Cbz beta-amino acids using phosphorus tribromide. The formation of beta-NCAs was confirmed by spectroscopy as well as an X-ray structural determination of beta-homoalanine-N-carboxyanhydride. The beta-NCA molecules could be po...

$\beta$-decay spectroscopy provides valuable information on exotic nuclei and a stringent test for nuclear theories beyond the stability line. To search new $\beta$-delayed protons $\gamma$ rays of $^{25}$Si to investigate properties $^{25}$Al excited states. $\beta$ decays were measured by using Gaseous Detector with Germanium Tagging system at National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory.
