Mast cells play an essential role in initiating allergic diseases. The activation of mast cells are controlled by a complicated signal network of reversible phosphorylation, and finding the key regulators involved in this network has been the focus of the pharmaceutical industry. In this work, we used a method named Time-dependent cell responding profile (TCRP) to track the process of mast cell...

The availability of neutron fields with a high flux, suitable for irradiation testing nuclear instrumentation detectors relevant applications in facilities such as material reactors (MTRs), power and future fusion is becoming increasingly limited. Over the last several years there has been increased interest experimental capabilities 250 kW Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) TRIGA research reactor ap...

Few issues are of such grave importance to society and to the science and practice of psychology as child maltreatment. Our goal in editing this issue of JSI was to inform scientists across various sub-fields of psychology about the most current knowledge in the field of child maltreatment, broadly defined. The authors of the articles have gone further, pushing past the edge of current knowledg...

The responses of readings by the TL dosimetry system MR200 TL developed in-house and used at JSI and the TOLEDO TL system used at RBI are compared. Ten measurements at different doses ranging from 0.01 mSv to 5 Sv were carried out. A set of 36 dosemeters with three pellets of CaF2:Mn were irradiated in radiation fields of 137Cs and 60Co. Analysis of the measured results shows that at doses belo...

Dietary carotenoids play an important role in the prevention of cancer. Epidemiological studies haye revealed a correlation between the risk of cancer, the dietary intake of carotenoids and their concentration in blood plasma.i) Different carotenoids present in common foods are accumulated in tissues and blood plasma.2) Khachik has identified about 20 carotenoids in human plasma.3) Many previou...
