statement of problem: for many years, application of the composite restoration with a thickness less than 2 mm for achieving the minimum polymerization contraction and stress has been accepted as a principle. but through the recent development in dental material a group of resin based composites (rbcs) called bulk fill is introduced whose producers claim the possibility of achieving a good rest...

background: study of vascular and its secretory profile changes is an important issue in pathogenesis of radiation myelopathy. this paper reports the prostacyclin concentration changes after low-moderate doses of x-irradiation within a short period of time. materials and methods: cervical cords of wistar rats were irradiated to doses of 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 gy x-rays. after 24 hours, 2 and 13 wee...

Introduction: Stereotactic body radiotherapy delivers hypofractionated irradiation with high dose per fraction through complex treatment techniques. The increased complexity leads to longer dose delivery times for each fraction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of prolonged fraction delivery time with high-dose hypofractionation on the killing of cultured ACHN cells.Method...

Introduction: Previously, 186Re and 188Re radioisotopes have been produced through appropriate activities, and each of them has been used for therapeutic applications. The 186Re and 188Re have unique properties, which make them proper for the treatment of  tumors in different sizes. The long-range 188Re, is suitabl...

5(6)-carboxy-rhodamine 110 isomers were rapidly synthesized by condensation of 3-aminophenol and trimellitic anhydride using microwave irradiation as heating method. after esterification of the two isomers, separation and hydrolyzation provided target products,5-carboxy-rhodamine 110 and 6-carboxy-rhodamine 110, in high yields. the results shows microwave irradiation can effectively reduce the ...

Abstract:  The optimum dose of UV irradiation to produce gynogenesis rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss with emphasis of Hertwing effect and photoreactivation (PR) was investigated. For this purpose, the sperm of rainbow trout were inadiated with UV at 2010±200 µw.cm-2 intensity in different alternatives of 0, 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35 and 45 minutes and allowed to ferti...

This work describes the photocatalytic removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution by titanium dioxide nanoparticles under ultraviolet irradiation in a batch system. The effect of operational parameters such as irradiation time, nano titanium dioxide dosage, pH and initial methylene blue concentration were analyzed and optimized by response surface methodology in the nano titanium dioxide/u...

background: after radiation therapy (rt), some health hazards including dna damages may occur where melatonin can play a protective role due to free radical generation. on the other hand, serious accidental overexposures may occur during rt due to nuclear accidents which necessitate the need for study on exposure to high-dose radiations during treatments. objective: the aim of this study was to...

a lithium borate thermoluminescence dosimeter with 0.3 wt% of manganese impurityconcentration was prepared for high dose levels in the range of 1-30 kgy for gamma irradiation applications.the tld reader was used for read out purposes from ambient temperature to about 400°c with a heating rate of 6°c/sec. the pre- and post- irradiation anneal temperature was 300°c for 1.5 and 1 hours respectivel...
