background : this study was set to determine the optimal technique of breast cancer with supraclavicular fossa irradiation. methods : three techniques was compared in this study. techniques were two point symmetric (2p-sym), two point asymmetric (2p-asym) and single point (sp). in 2p-sym all of beams were symmetric, in 2p-asym tangential beams were symmetric and supra was asymmetric, in sp all ...

A reversed-phase gradient elution, UV detection method is developed for the simultaneous determination of mono (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate [MEHP] and di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate [DEHP] in tissue samples. The method is validated with respect to extraction recovery, inter and intra-day precision, linearity of response, detect ability, and specificity. The validated method has been successfully appli...

Phthalates are ubiquitous endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are contaminants in food and contribute to significant dietary exposures. We examined associations between reported consumption of specific foods and beverages and first trimester urinary phthalate metabolite concentrations in 656 pregnant women within a multicenter cohort study, The Infant Development and Environment Study (TIDES), ...

The rapid synthesis of 4-aryl-2,2'-bipyridines is described leading to some previously reported compounds in good yields in addition to some new functionalized bipyridines.

the 2-mono and 2,6-disubstituted methyl-1,4-dihydropyridines were synthesized by reaction of morpholine, thiophenol, 8-hydroxyquinoline, 2-naphthol and 2-mercopto-1-methyl imidazole with the 2-mono bromo and 2,6-dibromo-1,4-dihidropyridines.

Investigating the longitudinal optical conductivity of graphene systems, which is the mostimportant property for opto-electronic devices, for three-layer graphene systems theoretically and numerically is the main purpose of this study. Each layer can be mono- or bi-layer graphene. Separation between layers has been denoted by d, selected to be about ten nanometers. The carrier densities i...
