MODELING OF IONIZING RADIATION-INDUCED CHROMOSOME ABERRATION AND TUMOR PREVALENCE BASED ON TWO CLASSES OF DNA DOUBLE-STRAND BREAKS CLUSTERING IN CHROMATIN DOMAINS

There has been some controversy over the use of radiobiological models when modeling the dose-response curves of ionizing radiation (IR)-induced chromosome aberration and tumor prevalence, as those curves usually show obvious non-targeted effects (NTEs) at low doses of high linear energy transfer (LET) radiation.The lack of understanding the contri

In this paper, we investigate the impact of classical optical communications in quantum key distribution (QKD) over hollow-core fiber (HCF), multi-core fiber (MCF) and single-core fiber (SCF) and propose wavelength allocation schemes to enhance QKD performance.Firstly, we theoretically analyze noise interference in QKD over HCF, MCF and SCF, such a

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated factors of inconsistent condom use among Iranian male injection drug users (IDUs).Materials and methods: Data came from the national Iranian behavioral survey of drug dependence, which sampled 7,743 individuals with drug dependence, from medical centers, prisons and st

Cyamophila willieti (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is an important insect pest of Sophora japonica.In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of C.willieti (GenBank accession number MN364946) was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq X Ten.The mitogenome is 15,809 bp long, and comprises 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 22 trans

Efficiency of membrane processes is greatly affected by the flux reduction due to the deposits formation at the surface and/or in the pores of the membrane.Efficiency of membrane processes is affected by cleaning procedure applied to regenerate flux.In this work, flux recovery of ceramic tubular membranes with 50 and 200 nm pore size was investigat
