(1) The aim of this paper is to describe concisely the 12 th Congress of the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA), which was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 19-24, 2008. Termed IRPA12, the Congress was organized by the Sociedad Argentina de Radioprotección (Argentine Radiation Protection Society), SAR, under the motto ‘strengthening radiation protection worldwide’. ...

Electron transfer between Ar2+ and N2 involves both complexation direct dynamics; a stripping-style pathway generates ArN+.

BACKGROUND Rehabilitation nursing is practiced in various settings along the healthcare continuum. No framework is noted in the literature that defines the necessary competencies of the rehabilitation nurse. PURPOSE To develop a Competency Model for Professional Rehabilitation Nursing and its application to clinical and educational practice. METHOD/DESIGN A seven-member Association of Rehab...

The mass spectra of the Li‡Xn (XˆNe, Ar, Kr) clusters have been recorded with a time-of̄ight apparatus. In the mass spectra, the peaks that correspond to Li‡X4 and Li‡X6 indicate very stable clusters. Relatively high intensity, with respect to neighboring ones, is also observed for the clusters with 34 argon or krypton atoms. To unravel the geometries of these species, we perform Mùller±Plesset ...

Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) approach differently from nature the genotype-phenotype relationship, a view that is a recurrent issue among researchers. Recently, some researchers have started exploring computationally the new comprehension of the multitude of regulatory mechanisms that are fundamental in both processes of inheritance and of development in natural systems, by trying to include th...

Development of the neuroendocrine hypothalamus is characterized by a precise series of morphogenetic milestones culminating in terminal differentiation of neurosecretory cell lineages. The homeobox-containing gene Orthopedia (Otp) is expressed in neurons giving rise to the paraventricular (PVN), supraoptic (SON), anterior periventricular (aPV), and arcuate (ARN) nuclei throughout their developm...

A convenient, rapid, and one-pot method for the synthesis of azo dyes has been developed. In this protocol, diazotization reagent (ArN2+ -CrO3–SiO2) was prepared via grinding of aromatic amines, NaNO2, wet SiO2 and nano silica chromic acid (Nano-SCA) without solvent at room temperature. The obtained diazotization reagent was suff...

Augmented reality neuronavigation (ARN) systems can overlay three-dimensional anatomy and disease without the need for a two-dimensional external monitor. Accuracy is crucial their clinical applicability. We performed systematic review regarding reported accuracy of ARN compared them with conventional infrared (CIN). PubMed Embase were searched CIN systems. For ARN, type system, method patient-...

Second-stage larvae of Rehizonma sequoiae Cid del Prado Vera et al. tunnel through the cortex of the redwood Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don) Endl. root to the vascular tissue where each developing female induces a single ovoid or occasionally spherical giant cell with a single ovoid to spherical nucleus containing one to four enlarged nucleoli. Nematode tunnels are filled with a gel material and ...
