Dose-rate effects on chromosome aberrations in the low-dose-rate range have not been evaluated previously. The incidences of chromosome aberrations were analysed in splenic lymphocytes from female specific pathogen-free (SPF) C3H mice that were continuously irradiated with low- or medium-dose-rate (LDR, MDR) (137)Cs γ rays from 56 days of age to evaluate the dose-rate effects. The dose-response...

Gliomas are malignant brain tumors responsible for 50% of primary human cancer cases. They have a combination rapid growth and invasiveness, high fatality rates with median survival time one year. Mathematical models that describe its helped to improve treatment. In this paper, combined model formed by terms two other known in the literature is analyzed. The Reactive-Advective-Diffusive partial...

background: pet/ct imaging using [18f]-fdg is utilized in clinical oncology for tumor detecting, staging and responding to therapy procedures. essential consideration must be taken for radiation staff due to high gamma radiation in pet/ct and cyclotron center. the aim of this study was to assess the staff exposure regarding whole body and organ dose and to evaluate environment dose in pet/ct an...

background: we have validated the monitor unit calculations from a commercially available treatment planning system (tps) for three intensity modulated radiotherapy (imrt) planning techniques for tangential breast irradiation by using ionization chamber measurements. materials and methods: treatment plans were generated for forty-two breast patients by a forward planned field in field technique...

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress plays a role in acute and chronic inflammatory disease and antioxidant supplementation has demonstrated beneficial effects in the treatment of these conditions. This study was designed to determine the optimal dose of an antioxidant supplement in healthy volunteers to inform a Phase 3 clinical trial. METHODS The study was designed as a combined Phase 1 and 2 open l...

the paper is concerned with the bifurcation of limit cycles in general quadratic perturbations of a quadratic reversible and non-hamiltonian system, whose period annulus is bounded by an elliptic separatrix related to a singularity at infinity in the poincar'{e} disk. attention goes to the number of limit cycles produced by the period annulus under perturbations. by using the appropriate p...

We study the distribution of spacings between squares in Z/QZ as the number of prime divisors of Q tends to infinity. In [3] Kurlberg and Rudnick proved that the spacing distribution for square free Q is Poissonian, this paper extends the result to arbitrary Q.
