Oncolytic virotherapy is a promising field of cancer treatment in which replication-competent viruses, including adenoviruses (Ads), can infect and lyse tumor cells. Syrian hamsters, unlike mice, are semi-permissive to human adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) and provide a useful immunocom…

The photophysical behavior, molecular structure, and electronic structure of pure and mixed crystals of dicyano silver (I) complexes have been studied. The pure crystals studied are Tl\lbrack Ag(CN)\sb2\rbrack,\ Na\lbrack Ag(CN)\sb2\rbrack, K\lbrack Ag(CN)\sb2\rbrack,\ Cs\lbrack…
The adsorption and photochemistry of 1,3-butadiene (C 4H6) on HOPG(0001) at <85 K was studied using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Butadiene weakly adsorbs on HOPG, the monolayer (ML) exhibiting first order desorption with a…
Proton transfer reaction from the excited state of 1-naphthylamine (RNH 2) has been investigated in aqueous solutions of different acidity. Fluorescence from a new species was recorded. The quenching constants of RNH 2*, RNH3+* and the new species and some rate constants are eva…
This Descriptive study sought to investigate nurses' knowledge, feelings beliefs, and thoughts about ionizing radiation as no other study, to this author's knowledge, had done so. To this end, 600 surveys were sent to registered nurses in the New York metropolitan area. A total …
Quantifying and controlling the radiative power losses from impurities in the tokamak fusion plasma is crucial for obtaining ignition conditions. In the present work, therefore, losses from impurities have been measured in different operating regimes of the Alcator C-Mod Tokamak…
Gypsum board assemblies are now widely used in buildings, as fire resistant walls or ceilings, to provide passive fire protection. The fire resistance of such systems is fundamentally due to the desirable thermal properties of gypsum. Yet there is wide variability in reported va…
BACKGROUND: Radiation exposure to the abdominal region causes intestinal toxicity and is also capable of inducing colorectal cancers (CRC). Genotype-phenotype studies provide some evidence explaining the variation in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients caused by modifi…
A large eddy simulation (LES) model has been developed and validated for turbulent non-premixed and partially premixed combustion systems. LES based combustion modelling strategy has the ability to capture the detailed structure of turbulent flames and account for the effects of…
The generation of nuclear energy leads to the generation of contaminated, radioactive wastes. The current strategy in the UK is to dispose of high and intermediate level wastes to a geological disposal facility with no possibility for retrieval. The waste is contained in an enca…
Conventional medical x-ray imaging, based on the transmission of primary photons, works well to distinguish between hard and soft tissues. Up to 90% of the photons that reach the image receptor, however, are coherently or incoherently scattered, and so there is growing interest …
In the USA, 200,000 brain tumors are diagnosed each year with glioma representing 8.4% of the 200,000. The standard treatment for glioma consists of surgical resection, when possible, followed by radiation therapy (RT) and/or chemotherapy. Radiation therapy is one of the most ef…
The Earth is continuously being bombarded with radiations from space. The primary space sources are solar flares (very hot plasma of ionized gases ejected from Sun containing high energy sub-atomic particles) and cosmic rays (very high energy charged particles) originating from …
Time-resolved and spectroscopic imaging approaches were developed and adapted and developed to detect and localize tumors in ex vivo breast tissue samples and tumorlike inhomogeneities breastlike phantoms. The experimental arrangement for time-sliced optical imaging used 120 fs,…
Wireless devices, such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants, and Bluetooth headsets emit electromagnetic (EM) radiation. Such devices when used near a user result in EM energy absorption in the head or body of the user. The effect of this absorption is thermal and non-i…
A new data capturing technique for a potentially coupled bus of lines is proposed that always accommodates fast operation. The proposed method utilizes multiple reference voltages available within a line's receiving logic and the initial conditions of the involved wires in order…
In this research study, MATLAB PDE Toolbox is investigated for modeling a two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) pressurized water reactor (PWR) core. MATLAB PDE Toolbox is a partial differential equation (PDE) solver for finite element method (FEM) analysis. The PDE …
Based on recommendations by the King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia plans to construct sixteen nuclear power plants to address an increasing demand for domestic electrical energy. In this research, a radiological assessment will be per…
