Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adventures of Armadillo Baby and Annabelli is a charming and whimsical collection of animal stories about the adventures of a pair of brother and sister armadillos. The dominant character in these stories is a horribly powerful and very large protagonist named Raina Sparkle, chimera of dragon, bat, and dinosaur, loving toward the armadillos, but frightfully intimidating and scary to any human or animal who dares to try and harm them! The armadillos are friends with some local animals, like Seflagori, the camel, and Noseberry, the anteater, but learn the hard way that they must be wary of certain other animals, like Elvis and Montmorency, the two Syrian crocodiles, Horatio the Hawk, and Rexi the leader of the angry water reeds. Certain humans should also be avoided, like Captain Shutemup and his communications officer Sparky Blaberon, both from The Happy Gun cruise ship. The armadillos love to eat and the menus for some of their meals are described in detail with reasonable cultural accuracy. The armadillos also love to sleep, and each story ends with the armadillos safely and happily in bed. But the armadillos seem to end up in hot water no matter what innocent activities they participate in, ultimately forcing them to call on the help of Raina Sparkle, their kind protector, who inevitably bails them out of their troubles. Although the armadillos are anthropomorphized, they nevertheless are imbued with amusing armadillian behavioral characteristics, such as walking on the bottoms of ponds, holding their breath underwater for many minutes, curling up into a protective ball when threatened, and jumping straight up when excited or startled. The Adventures of Armadillo Baby and Annabelli will definitely be loved by younger readers and may also bring smiles and chuckles to their adult companions.

Book excerpt: This second book continues with the armadillo siblings' adventures and introduces a new protagonist-Fledermaus Horse. Fledermaus Horse is highly skilled in freestyle musical dressage--a sport in which horses learn to dance to music. This second book retains most of the characters introduced in the first book: Armadillo Baby, Annabelli (his sister), Raina Sparkle (the bat-dinosaur-dragon chimera), Seflagori (the Bactrian camel), Captain Shutemup & his assistant Sparky Blaberon (from the evil 'catch your own semi-extinct animal' cruise ship), and Elvis and Montmorency (the Syrian crocodiles). To summarize the story: A horse turns up at the armadillos' home. He has a unique gift of being able to do freestyle musical dressage without a rider. He is encouraged to teach these unique skills to a Bactrian camel. The camel eventually enters a freestyle musical dressage competition--and wins first prize! The horse and the camel then go on a pre-publication book tour to America. The narrative in this book is intended to challenge 8-12-year-old readers and increase their vocabulary and writing skills, while at the same time keeping them engaged with humor and detailed descriptions of delicious middle-eastern foods!!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Binary systems for the treatment of cancer potentially are among the most attractive of the new therapeutic modalities that currently are under investigation. The basicconcept is to selectivelydestroy malignantcells whileconcomitantlysparing normal tissue. Neutron capture therapy (NCT) is the binary system that has been the subject of the Fifth International Symposium on Neutron Capture Therapy, which was held September13-17, 1992, in Columbus, Ohio, undertheauspicesoftheInternational Society for Neutron Capture Therapy. Its objective was to bring together researchers from throughout the world and to provide a forum at which they could present the latest advances in the development of Neutron capture therapy. Neutron capture therapy has largely, but not exclusively, focused on the use of boron-10 as the target nuclide. Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is based on the nuclear reaction that occurs when the stable isotope, boron-10, absorbs low-energy non ionizing thermal neutrons to yield alphaparticles and recoiling lithium-7 nuclei. The size and energy of these high linear energy transfer (LET) particles result in their being confined largely to the cells in which the capture reaction occurs. For BNCT to be successful, a sufficient numberof I~atoms mustbe localized within neoplastic cells, and enough thermal neutrons must be delivered and absorbed by the I~ to produce a lethal 1~(n,QVLi reaction. Two major problems must be surmounted.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the many advances made in the diagnosis and therapy of cancer, the mortality rate is still about half that of the incidence rate. However, the odds are not evenly distributed. Prognosis for some cancers is good, but for others, few patients will survive 12 months. This latter group of cancers is characterised by a proclivity to disseminate malignant cells in the host organ. The degree of surgery possible may be limited by the critical nature of the organ, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy are of palliative value only. In some cases systemic metastases occur, but in other cases, failure to achieve local control results in death. First among these cancers are the high grade brain tumours, astrocytoma 3,4 and glioblastoma multiforme. Local control of these tumours should lead to cure. Other cancers melanoma metastatic to the brain, for which a useful palliative therapy is not yet available, and pancreatic cancer for which localised control at an early stage could bring about improved prognosis. Patients with these cancers have little grounds for hope. Our primary objective is to reverse this situation with Neutron Capture Therapy (NCT). The purpose of this fourth symposium is to hasten the day whereby patients with these cancers can reasonably hope for substantial remissions. The first symposium on NCT was held in Boston in 1983, followed by Tokyo in 1985 and Bremen, Germany in 1988.

Download or read book Neutron Capture Therapy written by Wolfgang A.G. Sauerwein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neutron capture therapy (NCT) is based on the ability of the non-radioactive isotope boron-10 to capture thermal neutrons with very high probability and immediately to release heavy particles with a path length of one cell diameter, which in principle allows for tumor cell-selective high-LET particle radiotherapy. This book provides a comprehensive summary of the progress made in NCT in recent years. Individual sections cover all important aspects, including neutron sources, boron chemistry, drugs for NCT, dosimetry, and radiation biology. The use of NCT in a variety of malignancies and also some non-malignant diseases is extensively discussed. NCT is clearly shown to be a promising modality at the threshold of wider clinical application. All of the chapters are written by experienced specialists in language that will be readily understood by all participating disciplines.
