Abstract This paper describes cooperation of the Slovak University Technology in Bratislava (STU) and Institute Metrology (SMU) verification calibration factors for solid-state nuclear track detector utilized radon dosimetry establishing traceability STU laboratory. The SMU operates Air Radon Standard which consists a chamber calibrated atmosphere monitoring system. A specification is that conc...

The ability of thymus to restore the immune deficiency produced by neonatal thymectomy in mice decreases with the delay of treatment after thymectomy (1). Eventually a state is reached when thymus grafts become ineffective, especially when the animals develop the postthymectomy-wasting syndrome (2, 3). These results were interpreted as indicating that a population of cells in the host, capable ...

This issue of MEDICC Review appears in the wake of a media splash on the reopening of the Cuban and US embassies in Washington and Havana, signaling the renewal of full diplomatic relations between the two governments. Although the US embargo is still law and one of the thorniest bilateral issues remaining, the Obama administration's bold opening towards Cuba is being echoed in the chambers of ...

Microtubules (MTs) and associated motors play a central role in nuclear migration, which is crucial for diverse biological functions including cell division, polarity, and sexual reproduction. In this paper, we report a dual mechanism underlying nuclear congression during fission yeast karyogamy upon mating of haploid cells. Using microfluidic chambers for long-term imaging, we captured the pre...

Background: Absolute dosimetry of external beam radiotherapy is carried out by the use of ionization chambers. These chambers must be calibrated at a standard dosimetry laboratory before any use in clinical dosimetry. The secondary standard dosimetry laboratory of Iran (SSDL) has the duty of calibrating the ionization chambers used in radiotherapy centers in Iran. Materials and Methods...

The term “Business Model”started to gain momentum in the early rise of the new economy and it is currently used both in business practice and scientific research. Under a general point of view BMs are considered as a contact point among technology, organization and strategy used to describe how an organization gets value from technology and uses it as a source of competitive advantage. Recent c...

introduction hadron-therapy is an effective technique used to treat tumors that are located between or nearby vital organs. the italian national center of oncological hadron-therapy (cnao) has been realized as the first facility in italy to treat very difficult tumors with protons and carbon ions. the on-line monitor system for cnao has been developed by the department of physics of the univers...
