a three-step selective photo-ionization for gd155 and gd157 isotopes by pulsed laser wasevaluated numerically. due to large thermal neutron absorption cross sections, these two isotopes innatural gadolinium are good candidates as burnable poison to control reactivity early in the fuel cycleand allow extended fuel burn up. rate equations have been used to calculate the dynamics of the isotopepop...

We use a combination of analytic and numerical arguments to consider the impact of quasar photo-heating during He II reionisation on the thermal evolution of the intergalactic medium (IGM). We demonstrate that rapid (∆z < 0.1–0.2), strong (∆T > 10 K) photo-heating is difficult to achieve across the entire IGM unless quasar spectra are significantly harder than implied by current observational c...

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness activated nano-curcumin as a cancer-targeted therapy. Six groups albino mice with cancer implants were used for study. Sono- (ultrasound) and photo- (blue laser) energy sources. outcomes showed that is an effective photo-sono sensitizer treatment cancer. Upon activation blue laser and/or ultrasound, plays crucial part in inhibiting tumor...

A Fiber Bragg grating of 369 nm pitch was inscribed in a germanium-free double-clad ytterbium doped silica fiber using a femto-second pulse train at 400 nm wavelength and a phase mask. The photo-induced refractive index modulation of higher than 4 x 10(-3) was obtained and the accompanying photo-induced losses were subsequently removed by thermal annealing, resulting in a low loss (<0.1 dB), st...

Manipulating molecular interaction and assembly for developing various functional nanostructures with controlled dimensionality, morphology and tailored properties is currently a research focus in molecular science and materials chemistry. Particularly, the self-organization of fullerenes (i.e. C60) to form various functional assemblies has received intense interest since it can provide excelle...
