BACKGROUND the characteristics of (90)Y, suitable for therapy, are denoted by the lack of γ-emission. Alternative methods, using analogues labelled with (111)In or (86)Y, are generally applied to image (90)Y-conjugates, with some inevitable drawbacks. New generation SPECT/CT image systems offer improved Bremsstrahlung images. The intent of this brief communication is to show that high quality (...

(86)Y is a PET agent that could be used as an ideal surrogate to allow personalized dosimetry in (90)Y radionuclide therapy. However, (86)Y also emits cascade gamma rays. We have developed a Monte Carlo program based on SimSET (Simulation System for Emission Tomography) to model cascade gamma rays in PET imaging. The new simulation was validated with the GATE simulation package. Agreements with...

Z-Source converter or impedance-source converter is a kind of power converters, which has the responsibility to convert the direct current to alternative current. This converter with respect to its circuit diagram acts as a buck-boost converter except it doesn’t use from DC-DC converter bridge. Γ-source inverters are one of the conventional converters based on impedance-sources; which have been...

This article reviews key findings about the long-term impact of a nutrition intervention carried out by the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama from 1969 to 1977. Results from follow-up studies in 1988-89 and 2002-04 show substantial impact on adult human capital and economic productivity. The 1988-89 study showed that adult body size and work capacity increased for those provi...

although the mechanisms under which sex ratio is controlled in nature remain unknown, researchers have attempted to treat sperm in an effort to predetermine the sex of the offspring. the methods of sperm separation that have been repeatedly reported to isolate fractions rich in x- or y-chromosome bearing sperm are serum albumin gradient swim-up and flow cytometry. however, the ability of the se...

We consider the coupled system$F(x,y)=G(x,y)=0$,where$$F(x, y)=bs 0 {m_1}   A_k(y)x^{m_1-k}mbox{ and } G(x, y)=bs 0 {m_2} B_k(y)x^{m_2-k}$$with entire functions $A_k(y), B_k(y)$.We    derive a priory estimates  for the sums of the rootsof the considered system andfor the counting function of  roots.

Discussion on the limits in distribution of processes Y under joint rescaling of space and time is presented in this paper. The results due to Lamperti (1962), Weissman (1975), Hudson & Mason (1982) and Laha & Rohatgi (1982) are improved here.
