We have quantified the caesium-137 in surface waters and sediments in both the Portuguese and the Spanish sections of the Tagus River over six years. This river has its source in Spain, and of its 1100 km length about 230 km are in Portugal, 43 km serving as a natural frontier between the two countries. In the two regions under study the water flow is completely regulated by a chain of dams. Th...

AIMS To report 5 year prostate-specific antigen outcomes in men undergoing prostate brachytherapy with caesium 131 at a single institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients who underwent prostate brachytherapy with caesium 131 at our institution and had at least 24 months of follow-up were included in this study. The results are reported by risk group (low, intermediate and high) as well as...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, Cs(2)[Co(CH(4)O(6)P(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], is comprised of one bidentate methyl-enediphospho-nate ligand and one water mol-ecule which are coordinated to the Co(II) atom, as well as a caesium counter-cation. The Co atom occupies a special position on a crystallographic inversion center. The caesium ion is octa-hedrally coordinated by six O atoms with Cs-O ...

An inhomogeneous differential equation method is used to calculate the Rayleigh and Raman scattering cross sections for atomic hydrogen and atomic caesium as functions of wavelength below and above the ionization limits. The profile of the scattering cross section near the 6s-6p resonance of atomic caesium is determined by including an energyindependent radiative width in the scattering formula...

We present direct ESI Q-TOF MS and X-ray evidence for remarkable structural and metal ion size effects on the formation of thymidine-based T-tetramers. The conventional H-bond acceptors on the ribose and deoxyribose may disfavor the formation of T-tetramers, and in the series of alkali metal ions, lithium did not induce T-tetramer due to its small ion size. Sodium, potassium, rubidium and caesi...

Single crystals of CsU(2)Te(6) were synthesized from the reaction of U, Te, and Cs(2)Te(3) at 1273 K. CsU(2)Te(6) crystallizes in the space group Cmcm in the CsTh(2)Te(6) structure type. The asymmetric unit comprises one U (site symmetry m2m), one Cs (m2m; half-occupancy) and two Te atoms (m.. and m2m). The structure of CsU(2)Te(6) consists of infinite [U(2)Te(6)] layers perpendicular to [010] ...

PR04.MZ 8-(4-fluoro-but-2-ynyl)-3-p-tolyl-8-aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (1) and LBT999 8-((E)-4-fluoro-but-2-enyl)-3b-p-tolyl-8-aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2beta-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2) are selective dopamine reuptake inhibitors, derived from cocaine. Compounds 1 and 2 were labelled with fluorine-18 at their terminally fluorinated N-substituents employing micro...

Potassium indium bis-[hydrogen arsenate(V)], KIn(HAsO4)2, rubidium indium bis-[hydrogen arsenate(V)], RbIn(HAsO4)2, and caesium indium bis-[hydrogen arsenate(V)], CsIn(HAsO4)2, were grown under mild hydro-thermal conditions (T = 493 K, 7-8 d). KIn(HAsO4)2 adopts the KSc(HAsO4)2 structure type (space group C2/c), while RbIn(HAsO4)2 and CsIn(HAsO4)2 crystallize in the space group R-3c and are the...
