A boronated analogue of the antiestrogen U 23,469-M (D. Lednicer, D. W. Emmert, S. C. Lyster, and G. W. Duncan, J. Med. Chem. 12, 881 (1969] was prepared, for possible use in neutron capture therapy of estrogen receptor-positive tumors. In this analogue, the terminal OH group was replaced by a B-decachloro-o-carboranyl residue. This compound showed a large, non-specific uptake in ZR 75-1 breast...

background: miniature neutron sources with high neutron flux have abundant applications in medicine, industry and researches. the most important general characteristic of miniature neutron sources is their diameter which is 3mm in average. in this research, we have surveyed and designed an am-be miniature neutron source fabrication. materials and methods: this investigation resulted in creation...

Object recognition memory and contextual fear conditioning task performance in adult C57BL/6 mice exposed to cranial fast neutron irradiation (0.8 Gy) were examined to evaluate hippocampus-related behavioral dysfunction following acute exposure to relatively low doses of fast neutrons. In addition, hippocampal neurogenesis changes in adult murine brain after cranial irradiation were analyzed us...

A neutron activation analysis method with pre-irradiation separation and post-irradiation purification is presented for the determination of 129I content and 129I/127I ratio in some environmental samples, such as seawater, seaweed, grass and soil. An evaporation concentration followed by solvent extraction was used for the separation of iodine from seawater, and alkaline ashing or alkaline fusi...

In this study, the Neutron Irradiation Facility (NIF) of National Institute Standards (NIS) was characterized for metrological applications to improve accuracy calibration process. The NIS neutron irradiation facility consists a 5 Ci Am-Be and 0.1 μg Cf-252 sources. flux dose rate source calculated by using MCNP5 code simulation at different distances from source. delivered determined NM2-neutr...
