Development of a γ-γ-perturbed angular correlation one-detector method (1-PAC) for investigation of physico-chemical properties of matter
2002
Abstract A new method of the perturbed angular γ – γ -correlation (PAC) measurements was developed using one HPGe detector only (1-PAC). For quantifying the perturbation factor, the ratio R γ 1 + γ 2 of the summing peak composed of two cascade γ -rays (the perturbation-affected parameter) to the summing peak composed of one γ -ray and one X-ray (the perturbation non-affected parameter) was used. This method was demonstrated for the radionuclides 111 In and 111m Cd, identifying the chemical status of the radionuclides in aqueous solutions.
An experimental approach to efficiency calibration for gamma-ray spectrometric analysis of large air particulate filters
2013
Abstract A full-energy-peak efficiency (FEPE) calibration procedure for gamma-ray spectrometric analysis of air particulate samples collected on large filters is described herein. The experimental results are obtained for an unconventional measurement geometry, termed a “packet-sample”. The sample is obtained from a large cellulose filter (45 cm×45 cm) used to collect air particulate samples that is resized to dimensions suitable for spectrometric measurements (6 cm×6 cm×0.7 cm). To determine the FEPEs, many standards were created, i.e., some filters containing a small amount of ThO 2 and others containing a known amount of KCl. Efficiency curves obtained through best fits to experimental d…
Numerical expressions for the computation of coincidence-summing correction factors in γ-ray spectrometry with HPGe detectors
2009
Numerical expressions to compute gamma-gamma and gamma-X(K) coincidence summing corrections were deduced by using a suitable computer program and a matrix representation of a decay scheme. For point sources only full-energy peak and total efficiencies are needed. Alternatively, values of peak-to-total ratio can be introduced. For extended sources, the same expressions can be considered with the introduction of "effective efficiencies". Examples of the use of the expressions for point sources and a particulate filter sample measured with a 60% relative efficiency HPGe detector are reported.
The decay of 133mXe.
2007
The decay of (133m)Xe has been re-measured using an electron-transporter spectrometer and a planar HPGe detector. The sample of (133m)Xe was produced by means of proton-induced fission using an ion-guide based on-line mass separator. The deduced K and L+M+... shell conversion coefficients, alpha(Kappa)=6.5(9) and alpha(L+M+...)=2.9(4), agree within the uncertainty limits with the theoretical values and remove the inconsistencies between the previous experimental studies of (133m)Xe.

Valutazioni di efficienza di rivelatori HPGe con il codice MCNP5
2008
Sono presentate alcune simulazioni con il codice MCNP5 di rivelatori di fotoni di tipo HPGe (High Purity Germanium) per la valutazione di efficienze per alcune geometrie usualmente impiegate in misure di tipo radioprotezionistico (Marinelli beakers, a disco, etc). Il modello del rivelatore è validato mediante confronti con determinazioni sperimentali di sorgenti puntiformi calibrate di tipo “single line”, caratterizzate dalla emissione di un solo fotone gamma per disintegrazione. L’ottimizzazione è realizzata valutando in tutto il range energetico di interesse le differenze tra i valori simulati e sperimentali di efficienza, sia fotoelettrica che totale, al variare di alcuni dei parametri c…
Descrizione del primo caso clinico di rapida guarigione di un ulcera cutanea in soggetto con osteomielite da Staphylococcus aureus dopo trattamento c…
2014
Background: L'osteomielite è uno delle complicanze infettive più gravi del paziente sottoposto a riduzione della fratture mediante mezzi di sintesi. Alcuni pazienti hanno manifestazioni sistemiche di infezione ma alcuni anche se non diabetici e immunocompetenti possono avere solo sintomi locali come ulcerazione cutanea da fistola ossea. Recentemente alcuni lavori dimostrano come l’utilizzo delle prostaglandine ad azione vasodilatatoria come PGE1, PGE2 in associazione alla terapia antibiotica possano contribuire alla più rapida guarigione della osteomielite senza intervento chirurgico ortopedico poiché le prostaglandine sembrano ridurre la formazione del biofilm e la cronicizzazione dell’inf…

The appearance of several diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and spread of infections mutagenic virus type can be linked to the quality and lifestyle that we lead today. Indeed, several studies on the factors triggering these so-called "morbid" long-or short-term illnesses are related to stress and quality of food consumed, whether of plant and animal origin. These diseases are becoming a common occurrence, they affect different races and all classes of society. According ethnobotanical research, naturally occurring substances, allowed civilizations to survive deadly diseases. For example, we thus find references to periods of malarial fever in China and one of the symp…

2008
International audience; Purpose:To test the efficacy of dietary omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in a rat model of glaucoma induced by laser photocoagulation.Methods:Male Sprague Dawley rats were fed for 3 months with a diet containing either: 1) 17% of omega-3 fatty acids (10% EPA + 7% DHA), 2) 10% of omega-6 fatty acids (as GLA), or 3) a combination of both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (10% EPA + 7% DHA + 10% GLA), by comparison with a control group of animals fed with a standard diet deprived of EPA, DHA and GLA (n=10 in each group). After 3 months of diet, glaucoma was induced in one eye of each animal by laser photocoagulation (532nm) of the episcleral veins, the trabeculum and the l…
