Calculations of nuclear masses, using nuclear density functional theory, are presented for even-even nuclei spanning the nuclear chart. The resulting binding energy differences can be interpreted in terms of valence proton-neutron interactions. These are compared globally, regionally, and locally with empirical values. Overall, excellent agreement is obtained. Discrepancies highlight neglected ...

We present a new chiral power expansion scheme for the nuclear equation of state. The scheme is effective in the sense that it is constructed to work around nuclear saturation density. The leading and subleading terms are evaluated and are shown to provide an excellent equation of state. As a further application we considered the chiral quark condensate in nuclear matter. Already at nuclear sat...

The present study was undertaken to provide complementary data on the heterochromatin condensation in both central and peripheral nuclear regions during the cell differentiation and maturation using computer-assisted density measurements at the single-cell level. The lineage of neutrophilic granulocytes in the bone marrow of patients suffering from chronic myeloid leukaemia was very convenient ...

The aim of the present study was to detect senile nuclear cataract lens density and provide a quantitative measurement of lens density for the long-term clinical observation of cataracts. An Anterior Segment Analysis System was used to detect the lens density of 422 simple senile cataract eyes and normal contralateral eyes. The density values were taken at the optical axis at various depths mea...

background: biological shielding of nuclear reactors has always been a great concern and decreasing the complexity and expense of these installations is of great interest. in this study, we used datolite and galena (daga) minerals for production of a high performance heavy concrete. materials and methods: datolite and galena minerals which can be found in many parts of iran were used in the con...

Native and recombined lipoproteins have been studied by (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Very low-, low-, and high-density lipoproteins exhibited characteristic spectra. The main resonances were assigned to phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin. Relaxation times for these phospholipids were separately measured in low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins. The effect o...
