objective(s): in this work a new possible agent for radiosynovectomy has been targeted for articular pain palliation. materials and methods: lu-177 of 2.6-3 gbq/mg specific activity was obtained by irradiation of natural lu2o3 sample with thermal neutron flux of 4 × 1013 n.cm-2.s-1. the product was converted into chloride form which was further used for labeling of 177lu-phytate complex and che...

OBJECTIVE Hypoglycaemia poses a significant management challenge in patients with unresectable functional malignant insulinoma. Novel agents such as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors and radiolabelled peptides may be effective where there is failure of conventional therapy. DESIGN We present the cases of two men diagnosed with inoperable malignant insulinoma and hepatic metastas...

In this work, density functional theory within the framework of generalized gradient approximation has been used to investigate the structural, elastic, mechanical, and phonon properties of lutetium monopnictides in rock-salt crystal structure. The spin orbit coupling and Hubbard-U corrections are included to correctly predict the essential properties of these compounds. The elastic constants, ...

A highly enantioselective carboalkoxylation of alkynes catalyzed by cationic (DTBM-MeO-Biphep)gold(I) complexes is reported. Various optically active β-alkoxyindanone derivatives were obtained in good yields with high enantioselectivities. Furthermore, this methodology was extended to the enantioselective synthesis of 3-methoxycyclopentenones. The reaction is proposed to proceed through an enan...

We argue the importance both of developing simple sufficient conditions for the stability of general multiclass queueing networks and also of assessing such conditions under a range of assumptions on the weight of the traffic flowing between service stations. To achieve the former, we review a peak-rate stability condition and extend its range of application and for the latter, we introduce a g...

The effect of laser radiation polarization on the photoionization lutetium is studied using three-stage scheme 5d6s 2 D 3/2 -5d6s6p 4 F o 5/2 -5d6s7s - (53375 cm -1 ) 1/2 . It shown that in a number cases, there limitation associated with features coherent photoexcitation. Keywords: selective photoionization, lutetium-177.

The first T(d)-symmetric lutetium metallofullerene, Lu(2)@C(76), has been synthesized, isolated, and characterized. Because of the charge transfer from the encapsulated Lu atoms to the T(d)-C(76) fullerene cage, the otherwise unstable T(d)-C(76) fullerene can be significantly stabilized as a Lu(2)@C(76) fullerene. Both STM and STS results are consistent with a charge state of (Lu(2))(6+)@C(76)(...
