BACKGROUND Microbial contamination levels and corresponding sensitivities to gamma rays (GR) and elec- tron beam (EB) irradiation were tested in chamomile (Chamomile recutta L.). METHODS Chamomile powders were treated with 10 and 20 kGy by GR and EB, respectively. Microbiological and chemical analyses were performed on controls and treated samples immediately after irradiation, and after 12 m...

Background Prostate cancer is the second most common cancers in the world which causing harms and waste cost. Furthermore more prostate treatments are in effective and lead to male infertility. Purpose of this study was to evaluate the role gamma radiation with silver nano particles in treatment of human prostate cancer cell line in vitro. MaterialsAndMethods Human prostate cancer cell line DU1...

Context. We investigate the deposition of energy and momentum due to the annihilation of neutrinos (ν) and antineutrinos (¯ ν) in the vicinity of steady, axisymmetric accretion tori around stellar-mass black holes (BHs). This process is widely considered as an energy source for driving ultrarelativistic outflows with the potential to produce gamma-ray bursts. Aims. We analyze the influence of g...

China’s most successful horizon for shale-gas exploration and development is the Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation through Lower Silurian Longmaxi in its Yangtze Region. In this study, Wufeng–Longmaxi black shales Region are analysed to determine their microstructural characteristics, total organic carbon (TOC) content, well log characteristics identify information on parameters of Earth’s orbi...

the geothermal phenomena in the area nearby the euganean hills (near padua, in italy) areknown and exploited for therapeutic purposes since ancient times, and recently also for aesthetic purposes.this paper presents the first characterization of the radionuclides content in the euganean thermal waters and mud, extended to a great number of spas. in particular the radionuclides content of both t...
