EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT NANOPARTICLES ON THE MASS ATTENUATION COEFFICIENT OF A SHIELD IN DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY: A MONTE CARLO STUDY

Evaluation of the Effect of Different Nanoparticles on the Mass Attenuation Coefficient of a Shield in Diagnostic Radiology: A Monte Carlo Study

Purpose: This research aimed to estimate the Mass Attenuation Coefficient (MAC) for the various nanoparticles in diagnostic imaging in order to assess and compare the changes in a bulk state.Materials and Methods: To Using Monte Carlo N-Particle eXtended (MCNPX) code, nanoparticles were simulated in the target in order to compute the MAC considerin

Development and Validation of a Liquid Chromatography High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry Method for the Simultaneous Determination of Mycotoxins and Phytoestrogens in Plant-Based Fish Feed and Exposed Fish

New protein sources in fish feed require the assessment of the carry-over potential of contaminants and anti-nutrients from feed ingredients into the fish, and the assessment of possible health risks for consumers.Presently, plant materials including wheat and legumes make up the largest part of aquafeeds, so evaluation of the transfer capabilities

Genetic basis of right and left ventricular heart shape

Abstract Heart shape captures variation in cardiac structure beyond traditional phenotypes of mass and volume.Although observational studies have demonstrated associations with cardiometabolic risk factors and diseases, its genetic basis is less understood.We utilised cardiovascular magnetic resonance images Winches and Towing from 45,683 UK Bioban

The effect of Lactobacillus plantarum on expression of biofilm genes of Streptococcus mutans isolated from dental caries

Background: Dental caries and decay caused by Streptococcus mutans.Sucrose, stimulates S.mutans to yield insoluble glucans to form oral biofilm also called dental plaque to start process of caries.The GtfB and LuxS genes of S.mutans are responsible for development and evolution of biofilm.Lactobacillus plantarum as probiotic can affect the biofilm
