background: in this study are submitted the radon concentration measurement results of four underground mines: stanterg, artana, hajvali and badovc, which are owned by trepça enterprise, kosovo. the mines have the same geological formation and from these mines are extracted ores rich with lead, zinc, silver, and gold. the radiation exposures caused by radon and radon daughters was determined an...

Background The results of multiple IL-2 clinical trials (using a range of doses) have shown similar trends, in which IL-2 immunotherapy leads to an objective response in 15-20% of patients and complete response in 5-10%. Importantly, the majority (> 80%) of patients with a complete response maintain long-term responses. However, why only a small proportion of patients attain a complete response...

We formulate a stochastic gauge fixing method to study the gauge dependence of Abelian projection. In this method, one can change the gauge from the maximally Abelian one to no gauge fixing continuously. We have found that the linear part of the heavy quark potential from Abelian contribution depends little on the gauge parameter. Similar results have been obtained for the monopole contribution...

“The verifications of Hahnemann convince those who have intellectual integrity for scientific conviction, who will not sacrifice their intellectual integrity to the idols of the day, who will repeat Hahnemann’s experimental verifications of his scientific observations and inductions as they should be repeated. Any other method than to take into the healthy body four drams of China twice a day t...

The shocks and impacts encountered on small high-speed craft exceed the limits set for safe working practice according to current standards. European legislation regarding the exposure to vibration will have far reaching effects on the operators of such craft with respect to the safety of their employees. This paper sets out to highlight the vibration dose values that can be expected during typ...

Background: Coronary angiography is a commonly performed diagnostic procedure with life saving benefits for the patient. However, this procedure involves relatively high radiation dose. The purpose of this study was to determine the average effective dose of patients undergoing coronary angiography and to estimate the associated radiation risk in terms of fatal malignancy. Materials an...

The paper presents the results of mapping stray radiation fields in three different radiotherapy treatment rooms equipped with three different Co-60 machines. Based on the distribution of the ambient dose equivalent rate, the effective dose to the personnel under various scenarios has been assessed with regard to their movement and position in the room during the preparation of the machine and ...

Background: Breakfast cereal is a nutritious type of food that is widely consumed by various age groups in Kuwait. This study investigates the presence of long-lived gamma emitters in breakfast cereal, and estimates annual effective doses to various age groups. Materials and Methods: Breakfast cereal samples were collected from the Kuwaiti local market. The samples originated from diff...
