The gonad of Helix aspersa contains a factor which can stimulate in a dose-dependent manner galactogen synthesis in albumen gland explants cultured in vitro. The stimulatory activity appears to be greater when the gonad is predominantly male than when it is predominantly female. The albumen gland of virgin snails does not respond in vitro to the gonadal influence. The receptivity of the albumen...

This short review summarises the history and current knowledge of molecular genetic aspects human gonadal differentiation toward ovary.

Progress of the shielding calculation of the Super-FRS is reported here. At least as important as the shielding of the target area is the determination of the shielding in the region of the first dipoles as the part of the primary beam that will not interact in the target will be stopped here. The Monte-Carlo-method with FLUKA [1] used for the shielding assessment here has already been describe...

Using solid state multiple pulse techniques the magnetic shielding tensors a of the F nuclei in a single crystal of KZnF 3 have been measured. The F~-site symmetry in KZnF3 , D 4 h , allows axial anisotropy of a and determines fully the principal shielding directions. Using CaF 2 as the reference compound, the average shielding is + 85 ppm and the shielding anisotropy is + 18.4 ppm. These resul...

This article presents some new experimental data for study the shielding effect of electromagnetic wave. The frequencies of electromagnetic wave are mainly focused on emission of daily electrical equipments, which are normally called “low frequency electromagnetic waves”. In this work, a water pump with maximum magnetic field intensity of ca. 2300 mG was applied as emission source of the electr...

PURPOSE To evaluate the cumulative dose at point A for three and four centimeters central shielding. MATERIAL AND METHODS The plans of external beam radiotherapy plus conventional intracavitary brachytherapy were performed. Three or four centimeters central shieldings (after 44 Gy) were applied to the standard whole pelvis irradiation. Additional intracavitary brachytherapy 4 × 7 Gy at point ...

Gas-phase multinuclear magnetic resonance (MR) spectra allow the total elimination of intermolecular effects from magnetic shielding in molecules. Consequently, the resonance frequencies of isolated atoms and molecules are also available for reading from MR spectra. Following the connectivity between nuclear magnetic moments, resonance frequencies of two different nuclei in the same MR experime...

Introduction: Development of higher energy modalities such as positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), has led to more complex shielding problems. This is due to several factors, such as the radiopharmaceutical relatively high-administered activity, high patient throughput, and high energies of 511 kilo-electron volt (keV) positron annihilation photon...
