The direct $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ decays of the giant dipole resonance (GDR) and quadrupole (GQR) $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ to low-lying states are investigated by means a microscopic self-consistent model. model considers effects beyond linear response approximation. experimental $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-decay widths from GQR first ${3}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ state well reproduced with Skyrme interaction SkP...

Abstract A singlet oxygen production was monitored using a sensor green chemical probe; reaction of probe with produces fluorescent endoperoxide. Adding ethanol to the irradiated system resulted in decrease fluorescence signal, which indicates concentration formed under UV-C irradiation. Thus, likely quench study. This quenching did not occur use methanol. When irradiating E. coli cells presenc...

A 17-year-old boy with hyperparathyroidism exhibited a large cyst in the left hemi-thorax on his chest X-ray. The cyst was identified as a hydatid cyst. He was referred for biphasic methoxy isobutyl isonitrile (MIBI) parathyroid scan. A discrete ectopic parathyroid was detected in the left upper mediastinum in addition to accumulation of the MIBI tracer in the cyst wall. Using radio-guided occu...

Background: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/ CT) has become an established method for detecting hypermetabolic sites of known and occult disease and is widely used in oncology surgical planning. Intraoperatively, it is often difficult to localize tumors and verify complete resection of tumors that have been previously detected on diagnostic...

BACKGROUND Certain studies suggest that using indocyanine green (ICG) could be comparable with using radioisotopes (RI) in detecting sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in breast cancer. A number of these studies were performed in Asia. The objective of our pilot study was to evaluate within a European population of breast cancer patients the detection rate of SLNs using ICG and the HyperEye system and...

The axion could be used as a probe for extra dimensions. In large dimensions, besides the QCD one obtains an infinite tower of massive Kaluza-Klein (KK) states. We describe processes KK axions production in Sun via axion-photon coupling, $g_{a\gamma\gamma}$, and we derive number density that get trapped into solar gravitational field then accumulate over cosmic times. multiplicity states, well ...

The mechanisms by which pharmacologic agents stimulate gamma-globin gene expression in beta-globin disorders has not been fully established at the molecular level. In studies described here, nucleated erythroblasts were isolated from patients with beta-globin disorders before and with butyrate therapy, and globin biosynthesis, mRNA, and protein-DNA interactions were examined. Expression of gamm...

Jejunal folylpoly-gamma-glutamate carboxypeptidase hydrolyzes dietary folates prior to their intestinal absorption. The complete folylpoly-gamma-glutamate carboxypeptidase cDNA was isolated from a pig jejunal cDNA library using an amplified homologous probe incorporating primer sequences from prostate-specific membrane antigen, a protein capable of folate hydrolysis. The cDNA encodes a 751-amin...

The damping widths associated with compound states of rotating deformed nuclei is analyzed by means of the microscopic shell model calculations. Because of the doorway mechanism present in the damped collective rotation, the rotational E2 transitions is characterized by not only the rotational damping width Γrot but also the spreading width Γnpnh of many-particle many-hole shell model states fo...

OAO 1657−415 is an accreting pulsar in an eclipsing binary system. We analyzed the INTEGRAL core program observations of this object and obtained the eclipse light curve in the soft gamma-ray band between 15 and 40 keV. We note that the gamma rays from the pulsar allow to probe the density profile of the outer layers of the B supergiant companion. We find that the density profile of the outer l...
