The role of metoclopramide in acute and delayed chemotherapy induced emesis: a randomised double blind trial
High dose metoclopramide is an effective anti-emetic for use with cisplatin containing chemotherapy regimens but can cause extrapyramidal reactions. Lorazepam and dexamethasone are increasingly being used to a...

Residual Stress Measurement in Advanced Ceramics
Advanced ceramic materials like SiC and Si3N4. are very brittle, and residual stresses generated during manufacturing might influence the strength of components made of these materials. It is therefore important ...

Diffusion of Water in SiO2 at Low Temperature
15N hydrogen profiling is used to study diffusion of water in fused silica at 90°C. Two different diffusion mechanisms are observed, one with D~6×10-18 cm2/sec and one with D=10-15 cm2/se...

Reaction of water with glass: influence of a transformed surface layer
Profiles of hydrogen and glass constituents were measured by nuclear reaction techniques in a number of silicate glasses after hydration. The results were interpreted in terms of interdiffusion of alkali and h...

Measurement of Three Dimensional Distributions of Hydrogen in Thin Samples Using the 15N Hydrogen Profiling Method
The use of the 15N+1H→12C+4He+γ-ray resonant nuclear reaction, with 4He particles recorded in plastic track detectors, is described as a method of measuring full three dimensional distributions of H in thin sampl...

Nuclear Reaction Analysis of Glass Surfaces: The Study of the Reaction between Water and Glass
Analysis for hydrogen and other light elements is notoriously difficult by most traditional analytic methods. Because of this, techniques based on nuclear reactions have been developed which can determine quan...

Application of Ion Beam Techniques to the Study of Glass Durability: Enhanced Dissolution in Saline and Radiation Effects
Nuclear reaction analysis, Rutherford backscattering and ion implantation techniques are applied to the study of the reaction between glass and aqueous solutions. The use of these techniques is described as ar...

Directional correlations of gamma cascades in153Gd
TheEC-decay of153Tb to the levels of153Gd has been studied in singles and coincidence mode using high resolution x-ray andγ-ray Ge(Li) detectors. The results, in general, are in agreement with the recent findings...
