Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiation-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction After Different Schemes of Fractionated Whole Brain IrradiationZorkina Yana Alexandrovna, Zubkov Eugene Andreevich, Yusubalieva Gaukhar Maratovna et al.Radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction is a serious complication of radiation therapy. In humans, numerous cases of radiation damage have been recorded after irradiation for therapeutic purposes. The degree of cognitive dysfunctions and its dependence on biological effective doses should be tested in animal preclinical models to minimize radiation side effects. Fractionated whole brain irradiation was performed according to the following schemes: … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 14 Jan 2015 · 7,256 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractON THE ABSENCE OF ANTIMATTER FROM THE UNIVERSE, DARK MATTER, THE FINE STRUCTURE PARAMETER, THE FLUCTUATIONS OF THE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND RADIATION AND THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE OF THE UNIVERSEEmmanuil ManousosThe theory of selfvariations correlates five cosmological observations considered to be unrelated by the physical theories of the previous century. The absence of antimatter from the Universe, the Dark Matter, the slight variation of the fine structure parameter, the temperature fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background radiation and the temperature difference between the northern and southern hemisphere of the Universe … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Nov 2014 · 8,881 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRADIOSENSITIZATION OF CANCER STEM CELLS: TARGETING TGFβ, NOTCH OR TELOMERASE TO IMPROVE TUMOR RESPONSE O RADIOTHERAPYIgnacio Fernandez-GarciaRadiation resistant cancer stem cells are the main reason for treatment failure and tumor recurrence after cancer radiotherapy. Increasing biological evidences demonstrate that these cells possess the capacity to repair radiation induced DNA damage, protect themselves from radiation derived reactive oxygen species, survive and proliferate after several fractions of radiotherapy and finally, repopulate the heterogeneity of the tumor. Thus, targeting … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 16 Jul 2014 · 7,459 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponses in Nitrogen Mass and Nitrogen Metabolism of Wild Sugarcane (Saccharum spontaneum L.) UV-B Radiation Under Field ConditionsYanqun Zu, Yuan Li, Haiyun Wang, Yongmei HeField experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of enhanced UV-B radiation (280-315 nm) on intraspecific responses in nitrogen mass and nitrogen metabolism of six wild sugarcane (Saccharum spontaneum L.) clones. The clones were collected from original sites with different altitudes (4-1780 m above sea-level) and latitudes (18-38°N). The supplemental UV-B radiation was 5.00 kJ⋅m-2, simulating a depletion of 20% stratospheric … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 7 Jan 2014 · 6,656 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Atmospheric Turbidity and its Correlation with Climatologically ParametersU. Ali Rahoma, A. H. HassanStudy of Atmospheric turbidity is important for purposes of meteorology, ecology, climatology and monitoring of atmospheric pollution. Linke Turbidity factor (LT) is commonly used to model the attenuation of solar radiation in the atmosphere. The probable dependence on the water vapor content of the relationship linking LT to Angstrom’s turbidity coefficient B, is discussed. In this study, a procedure for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,986 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Nuclear Blast Overpressure on Buildings and other infrastructures using Geospatial TechnologyC. Vijayaraghavan, D. Thirumalaivasan, R. VenkatesanAn Improvised Nuclear Device or nuclear bomb of yield 10 kiloton to 20 kiloton explodes in any major city due to terrorism or any other reason can cause catastrophic damages on the building's and other infrastructures and also shutting down of critical life-safety systems.. The explosion may produce blast overpressure, thermal radiation and harmful instant and delayed nuclear radiations. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 15 Aug 2012 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaser Therapy of Irradiated Traumatized Skeletal Muscles and State of Immune System in AnimalsNelly Bulyakova, Svetlana Zubkova, Valentina AzarovaProblems statement: This study was designed to examine the effect of laser therapy on regeneration of traumatized skeletal muscles and on dynamics of immune responses in thymus and bone marrow under ionizing radiation. Approach: After local X-ray radiation of both rat gastrocnemius muscles at a dose 20 Gy or after total γ-irradiation of animals at a semiletal dose 6 Gy, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 Aug 2011 · 8,198 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Neuro-Fuzzy Techniques for Solar RadiationW. A. Rahoma, U. Ali Rahoma, A. H. HassanProblem statement: The prediction is very useful in solar energy applications because it permits to estimate solar data for locations where measurements are not available. The developed artificial intelligence models predict the solar radiation time series more effectively compared to the conventional procedures based on the clearness index. Approach: The forecasting ability of some models could be further enhanced with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 11 Aug 2011 · 7,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Electromagnetic Radiation and Specific Absorption Rate of Mobile Phones with Fractional Human Head Models via Green's FunctionsNookala Srinivasa Rao, G. R. Babu, P. V.S. SrinivasProblem statement: Electromagnetic Radiation from mobile hand set is identified as one of the side effects for increasing rate of brain tumor. Due to this reason, Mobile phone industries are attentive towards safety issues of human health. Specific Absorption Rate is one of the important parameter while modeling the radiation effect on human head. Brain material with homogeneity is treated … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 16 Jul 2011 · 6,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical and Experimental Studies on the Thermal Efficiency of the Double-Pass Solar Air Collector with Finned AbsorberAhmad Fudholi, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Mohd Hafidz Ruslan et al.Problem statement: The design of suitable air collectors is one of the most important factors controlling the economics of the solar drying. Air type collectors have two inherent disadvantages: Low thermal capacity of air and low absorber to air heat transfer coefficient. Different modifications are suggested and applied to improve the heat transfer coefficient between the absorber plate and air. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 7,415 accessesView PDFCite
