background: solid targets that consist of powder and electrodeposited targets are used commonly to produce radionuclides by accelerators. since silver is easily electrodeposited in cyanide baths and has a very excellent thermal conductivity, the electrodeposited target is preferable to produce 109cd. to avoid cracking or peeling of the target during bombardment, it should have a level surface a...

The wide distribution of Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) in the southern US became a serious weed control problem prior to the extensive use of glyphosate-resistant crops. Currently glyphosate-resistant populations of Palmer amaranth occur in many areas of this geographic region creating an even more serious threat to crop production. Investigations were undertaken using four biotypes (one...

Hypospadias is a congenital malformation that occurs in 0.3-1% of live births, in which the meatus (the urethral opening) is dorsally malpositioned. Uncorrected hypospadias can cause difficulties in urination, abnormal sexual function, and adverse psychological consequences; surgical correction, though generally successful, constitutes an economic burden for families. Several common classes of ...

We study the role of financial development on aggregate implications reducing import tariffs capital and intermediate inputs. document empirically that financially underdeveloped economies feature a slower response following trade liberalization. To quantify these effects, we set up general equilibrium model with heterogeneous firms subject to collateral constraints estimate it using Colombian ...

objective: in peripheral blood polymorphonuclear and mononuclear cells nitric oxide (no) could be synthesized by an enzyme called inducible no synthase (inos). inos gene (nos2a) is located on chromosome 17 at position 17q11.2-q12. no is released during inflammatory responses. in the present studies the frequency of nos2a gene polymorphisms and their effects on no production were investigated in...

microglia, the sentries of the brain, is highly implicated in neurodegeneration as in neuroprotection. chronic microglial activation endangers neuronal survival through the release of various potentially neurotoxic mediators including nitric oxide (no). thus, negative regulators of microglial activation have been considered as potential therapeutic candidates to target neurodegeneration, such a...

introduction:holmium-166 radionuclide is one of the most effective radionuclides used for targeted therapy with theranostic properties. one method to produce this radioisotope is via the decay of its parent (indirect method). in this study applicability of extraction chromatography (exc) for separation of no carrier added 166ho from neutron-irradiated natural dysprosium target followed by quali...
