Clinical trials on (177)Lu-(90)Y therapy used empirical activity ratios. Radionuclides (RN) with larger beta maximal range could favourably replace (90)Y. Our aim is to provide RN dose-deposition kernels and to compare the tumour control probability (TCP) of RN combinations. Dose kernels were derived by integration of the mono-energetic beta-ray dose distributions (computed using Monte Carlo) w...

fusarium wilt of chickpea, caused by f. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris, is one of the most important diseases of this plant in iran. in order to control this disease, fluorescent pseudomonads were isolated from the rhizosphere of chickpea plants in khorasan province by using king,s b medium (kb). antifungal activity of 80 bacterial strains against f. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris was evaluated on kb and p...

in order to evaluate effect of azotobacter chroococcum strains on yield, yield components and qualitative indices of winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.), an experiment was conducted during 2009-2010 growing season at research institute of rice in rasht. the experimental design was completely randomized block, with three replications. investigated treatments were including control (without seed ...

Five strains of Trichoderma with known biocontrol activities were assessed for their effect upon pea growth and their antagonistic activity against large Pythium ultimum inocula. The effect of Trichoderma inocula upon the indigenous soil microflora and soil enzyme activities in the presence and absence of Pythium is assessed. In the absence of Pythium, Trichoderma strain N47 significantly incre...

A bacteriocin typing method was evaluated using 200 strains of Klebsiella aerogenes, 93% of which fell into 11 distinct types. The typing technique was successfully applied to the monitoring and control of hospital cross-infection.

abstract the objective of this study was to assess the effects of few arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on the growth and yield indices of two wheat varieties in a saline soil (ec=10/1 dsm-1). a factorial experiment with completely randomized design with four replications was conducted to investigate the effects of three levels of fungal inoculation (non inoc...

Introduction:Owing to its favorable radionuclidic characteristics, such as tl/2 = 6.73 day and Eβ (max) = 497 keV and ease of its large-scale production using medium flux research reactors, lutetium-177 (177Lu) is an attractive radionuclide for various therapeutic applications. No carrier added (NCA) 177Lu was obtained by thermal neut...
