Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an economically important poultry pathogen with a worldwide distribution that may infect a wide range of domestic and wild avian species. The identification of different pathotypes of NDVs plays an important role in the diagnosis and development of vaccines to control and eradicate NDV infections. In our previous study, we showed that mono-specific antibodies ca...

In this paper, we report about simulated distribution of density of absorbed light energy within human skin following light illumination with a combination of three wavelengths (310, 514 and 800 nm) with ratios similar to ultraviolet, visible and infrared fractions of the solar irradiance spectrum. We study heat distribution within the skin treated with a sunscreen containing TiO(2) nanoparticl...

The radiation doses received by individuals from radionuclides which enter the human body cannot be measured directly but must be inferred. In these calculations several measurable quantities (as the internal whole body burden or urine daily excretion) and quantities derived from models are employed. The Radiation Protection Quantities for internal dosimetry are in principle the same as for ext...

This paper investigates axial compression process of multi-layered tubes with circular cross-section under the axial loading in the quasi-static condition using experimental method. Some specimens are prepared in seven different groups, namely; empty carbon/epoxy composite tubes, solid carbon/epoxy composite rods, empty copper tubes, composite tubes with silicon sealant filler, concentrically s...

The aim of this study was to create and test a new mice 3D-voxel phantom named DM_BRA for mice and human first-estimation radiopharmaceutical dosimetry. Previously, the article reviews the state-ofart in animal model development. Images from Digimouse CT database were used in the segmentation and on the generation of the voxelized phantom. Simulations for validation of the DM_BRA model was perf...

Three novel amphiphilic BODIPY derivatives were prepared and their photophysical properties in THF/water mixtures with varying fractions of water were investigated. BDP-1 could self-assemble into different vesicle architectures in aqueous solution, while BDP-2 and BDP-3 with more hydrophilic abilities formed spherical and worm-like micelles. The BODIPY derivatives could be absorbed by HeLa cell...

M band protein can be specifically extracted from fresh chicken breast muscle myofibrils suspended in 5 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0. During discontinuous polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the isolated protein separates into three bands which can be identified as two separate components (A, B) and a complex of the two. When partially purified fractions of the separated components are combined, an increa...

background: for radiotherapy of total skin including sub-cutaneous tissue up to a depth of 3 cm on the entire left leg of an adult (angiosarcoma skin), a complex treatment with multiple stationary electron fields was planned at our clinic. the details of dosimetry, clinical dose measurements are presented. materials and methods: the treatment planned with 6 overlapping 9 mev electron fields in ...
