The impact of dynamic pairing correlations and their interplay with Coulomb antipairing effects on the systematic spontaneous fission half-lives for nuclei $^{240-250}$Cm $^{240-250}$Cf is analyzed, using a hierarchy approximations based parametrization D1M Gogny energy density functional (EDF). First, constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approximation used to compute deformed mean-field c...

A direct comparlson Is made of the mass spectra of several involatile compounds obtained by using 252Cf ission fragment lonlratlon and iow-energy Ion bombardment using klloelectronvol! K+ and Cs’ ions. The comparisons were made on the same samples mounted on the same folk and mass determinations were made by using the time-of-flight principle. A very hlgh degree of slmllarity was observed In th...

Fast and accurate identification of neutron sources is very important in nuclear nonproliferation and international safeguards applications. Commonly, the identification of neutron spectra relies on unfolding procedures, which requires the solution of an ill-posed problem. In this paper, we present a new application of an existing technique, which can be used for neutron source identification w...

BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is the sixth most common cancer in Chinese women. A standard treatment modality for cervical cancer is the combination of surgery, chemotherapy, external-beam radiotherapy and intracavitary brachytherapy. The aim of this study was to retrospectively assess the long-term treatment outcomes of patients with cervical cancer who were treated with californium-252 neutron b...

Canola is a specific edible type of rapeseed, developed in the 1970s, which contains about 40 percent oil. This research was carried out to determine the yield and some quality characteristics of some winter canola cultivars during the 2010-2011 vegetation period in Central Anatolia of Turkey. In this research; Oase, Dante, Californium, Excalibur, Elvis, ES Hydromel, Licord, Orkan, Vectra, Nels...

Mutualistic associations are prevalent in virtually all environments yet relatively little is known about their complex biochemical and molecular integration and regulation. The endosymbiosis between cnidarians such as the sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima and the photosynthetic dinoflagellate Symbiodinium californium, in which the algal symbionts are housed in vacuoles within animal endode...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to retrospectively observe and analyze the long-term treatment outcomes of 96 elderly patients with gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJAC) who were treated with californium-252 (252Cf) neutron brachytherapy (NBT) in combination with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with or without chemotherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS From January 2002 to November 201...
