A bronze wine vessel attributed to 1600–1046 B.C., Shang dynasty in China, an object from the East Asian Collection of Museum Applied Arts and Sciences Sydney (Australia), was studied using a non-destructive scientific analytical protocol based on synergic combination nuclear techniques. Gamma spectrometry, neutron-computed tomography, proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) spectroscopy were appl...

differentiation is an epigenetic process which is installed by changes of transcriptional programs over successive cellular divisions. a number of studies have reported the effects of biochemical modifications of chromatin (dna and chromatin proteins) on the regulation of transcription. although, these studies are able to explain how transcription of a given gene is regulated (toward activation...

T he application of noninvasive nuclear medicine imaging techniques to the study of patients with suspected or known cardiovascular diseases offers important diagnostic, pathophysiologic and prognostic information that may directly affect patient management. The complementary nature of the functional and physiologic information obtained from nuclear cardiology examinations with the anatomic and...

microstructural investigation of low molecular weight 1,4-polybutadiene (1,4-pbd) was studied by 1h and 13c nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr). the isomer contents of 1,4-cis, 1,4-trans and 1,2- vinyl in polybutadiene microstructure were determined. the number average molecular weight for low molecular weight polybutadiene was measured by nmr techniques and comparison was made with g...

Background: Successful in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes is an important step for production of livestock through assisted reproductive techniques including somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Obtaining an optimal duration for maturation of oocyte is essential, since over exposure to maturation medium results in oocyte aging, while under exposure leads to production of immature incompetent...

Membrane assisted liquid extraction(MALE) technologies are gaining an important role as an extraction /separation technique for actinides and are being deployed as a  promising tool for remediation of nuclear waste generated in the reprocessing plant and other radioactive wastes containing a trace level of radionuclides. The present contribution outlines the classification of membrane assisted ...
