The activity concentration of gross alpha and gross beta particles in four samples of borehole drinking water consumed in Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University (IBBU), Lapai, Niger State-Nigeria was measured, using a portable single channel gas free proportional counter (MPC2000B-DP) detector. This study focused on cancer related problems and the bio-data of the environment was discussed as wel...

The contribution of ABCA1-mediated efflux of cellular phospholipid (PL) and cholesterol to human apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) to the formation of pre beta 1-HDL (or lipid-poor apoA-I) is not well defined. To explore this issue, we characterized the nascent HDL particles formed when lipid-free apoA-I was incubated with fibroblasts in which expression of the ABCA1 was upregulated. After a 2 h incu...

Mild detergent treatment (0.1% Sarkosyl-0.1% beta-mercaptoethanol) of Dane particle-rich fraction from human serum resulted in the release of core particles together with HBe antigen activity when examined by the reversed passive haemagglutination method. Furthermore, when the core particles isolated by the above procedure were exposed to stronger detergent (1% Sarkosyl-0.1% beta-mercaptoethano...

Interaction of retrovirus vectors and endogenous retroviruses present in packaging cell lines and target cells may result in unwanted events, such as the formation of recombinant viruses and the mobilization of therapeutic vectors. Using sensitive reverse transcriptase PCR assays, we investigated human and murine gene therapy packaging cell lines for incorporation of endogenous retrovirus trans...

We introduce and analyze a novel type of coalescent processes called cross-multiplicative that models system with two types particles, $A$ $B$. The bonds are formed only between the pairs particles opposite same rate for each bond, producing connected components made both types. solve Smoluchowski coagulation equations obtained as hydrodynamic limit corresponding Marcus-Lushnikov process. estab...

OBJECTIVE The behavior of beta particles under the magnetic field was investigated both theoretically and experimentally based on the assumption of reducing the damage to the normal tissues created by using magnetic field in radionuclide therapy. METHODS A water-filled spherical medium and a beta particle source was formed by using Geant4 simulation software for the theoretical study. After a...

Objective(s): The purpose of this research is to study the effect of beta spectrum on absorbed fraction ( ) and to find suitable analytical functions for beta spectrum absorbed fractions in spherical and ellipsoidal volumes with a uniform distribution for several radionuclides that are commonly used in nuclear medicine.Methods: In order to obtain the beta particle absorbed fraction, Monte Carlo...

PURPOSE Technetium-99m (99mTc) has been widely used as an imaging agent but only recently has been considered for therapeutic applications. This study aims to analyze the potential use of 99mTc Auger electrons for targeted tumor radiotherapy by evaluating the DNA damage and its probability of correct repair and by studying the cellular kinetics, following 99mTc Auger electron irradiation in com...

in this paper, covalent immobilization of beta amylase enzyme on the surface of modified magnetic nano particles (znfe2o4@sio2-nh2) is reported. for doing so, at first, the magnetic nanoparticles of znfe2o4 were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method and then tetraethyl orthosilicate (teos) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxy silane (aptes) were used for modification of znfe2o4 nanoparticles wi...

$N$-dimensional Bessel and Jacobi processes describe interacting particle systems with $N$ particles are related to $\beta$-Hermite, $\beta$-Laguerre, $\beta$-Jacobi ensembles. For fixed there exist associated weak limit theorems (WLTs) in the freezing regime $\beta\to\infty$ $\beta$-Hermite $\beta$-Laguerre case by Dumitriu Edelman (2005) explicit formulas for covariance matrices $\Sigma_N$ te...
