background: the aim of this study was to measure137cs levels in soil and brick samples to set the baseline data and an indicator of fallout radioactivity for this part of the world. this study will help to probe, if there is any health threat posed by 137cs exposure to the residents of the area. materials and methods: twenty five samples of soil and 6 samples of bricks were collected from diffe...

Background: At present, in nuclear medicine to calculate the cumulative activity of various organs, different techniques are being used to correct the background radiations in the conjugate view method. Each of these techniques considers the effect and weight of background radiations to a different extent. These background radiations can cause errors in cumulative activity calculations. The pur...

Blazar emission of gamma rays and cosmic ray production of gamma rays in gas-rich clusters have been proposed recently as alternative sources of the high energy extragalactic diffuse gamma ray background radiation. We show that these sources also produce a very different high energy extragalactic diffuse neutrino background radiation. This neutrino background may be detected by the new generati...

The aim of this paper is to study the dynamic characteristics of micromechanical rectangular plates used as sensing elements in a viscous compressible fluid. A novel modelling procedure for the plate-fluid interaction problem is developed on the basis of linearized Navier-Stokes equations and no-slip conditions. Analytical expression for the fluid-loading impedance is obtained using a double Fo...

We study the effects of unparticle physics on the cosmic ray photon and e, including on the pair production (PP) and elastic scattering (ES) of cosmic ray photon off various background radiations, and on the inverse Compton scattering of cosmic ray e with cosmic radiations. We compute the spin-averaged amplitudes squared of three processes and find that the advent of unparticle will never signi...
