post-harvest management of potatoes is a major challenge in iran. approximately 30% of the harvest is lostafter a few months of storage. the chemical methods for long term storage are not adequate to controldeterioration and also produce undesirable side effects. to address this issue, a study on radiationpreservation of potatoes was carried out. agria potato bulbs were irradiated using beta be...

a total of 300 one-day old male broilers (cobb 500) were randomly divided into four treatment groups. the groups comprised of 15 birds each, and were defined by diet and the birds in each group were fed 0 (control), 3, 5, or 7 kgy electron-beam irradiated diets. a total of 5 replicates were performed. the chemical composition of the diet was not affected by irradiation.irradiation doses of 5 an...

Irradiation of polymers is one of the most effective and economical methods for modifying their properties and for changing their applications. In this study, an extrusion grade polypropylene (PP) was treated by electron beam irradiation to produce a PP suitable for injection molding. Irradiation was carried out at different doses (0-80 kGy) under atmosphere air and at ambient temperature. Melt...

Secondary beam course and its irradiation system have been constructed in HIMAC. In this system, positron emitter beam can be used to measure the irradiated volume with PET. As an irradiation method to use beam efficiently, the spot scanning irradiation was adopted. With this spot scanning system, irradiation test has been done with C beam. In this paper, the current status of the beam control ...

background: this cross sectional study was conducted to evaluate the effect of &gamma-rays; and electron-beam irradiation with a commercial toxin binder-milbond-tx on the performance, feed components, and meat quality of japanese quails challenged with aflatoxin b1. methods: overall, 168 one-d-old chicks (japanese quails) were allocated to eight treatments with three replicates based on a compl...

This study examined the effect of electronbeam (E-beam) irradiation on the electrical properties of n-GaN, AlGaN and AlGN/GaN structures on sapphire substrates. E-beam irradiation resulted in a significant decrease in the gate leakage current of the n-GaN, AlGaN and HEMT structure from 4.0×10 -4 A, 6.5×10 -5 A, 2.7×10 -8 A to 7.7×10 -5 A, 7.7×10 -6 A, 4.7×10 -9 A, respectively, at a drain volta...

Background: Electron beam irradiation is one of the effective ways to control food-borne pathogens. We evaluated the effect of electron beam irradiation on survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica serovar Thyphimurium in minced camel meat during refrigerated storage. Methods: The meat samples were inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 and S. enterica serovar Thyphimurium and then...

modification of the mechanical properties of silicone rubber were considered for drug delivery systems by using high-energy electron beam (e-beam). in this research work, two different medical grades of silicone rubbers were used to prepare matrices containing 10wt% progesterone with 2 mm thickness and irradiated with e-beam at dose range of 25 up to 200 kgy. then, the mechanical properties as ...
