Low dose radiation exposure and cardiovascular diseases: a review

ICRP stated that particular attention should be paid to radiation effects in the cardiovascular system because of recent published observations of radiation effects in this systems occurring after much lower doses than reported previously (ICRP, 2007 and 2012). The review was based on scientific articles available in the open literature, major reviews by other organizations, in particular International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP, 118). In this review, we describe low-dose ionizing radiation effect, causes of cardiovascular diseases, relationship between low-dose ionizing radiation and cardiovascular diseases, as well as the importance and urgent of elucidate the relationship between low dose ionizing radiation and cardiovascular disease

Poly[[diaqua­(μ2-5,5-dioxodibenzo[b,d]thio­phene-3,7-dicarboxyl­ato)(μ2-ethyl­ene glycol)manganese(II)] dimethyl­acetamide solvate]

In the title complex, {[Mn(C14H6O6S)(C2H6O2)(H2O)2]·C4H9NO}n, the MnII ion is six-coordinated in a trans-octa­hedral geometry by two carboxyl­ate O atoms from two 5,5-dioxodibenzo[b,d]thio­phene-3,7-dicarboxyl­ate (L) ligands in a monodentate mode, two O atoms from two ethyl­ene glycol (EG) mol­ecules and two aqua O atoms. The metal ions are linked by the EG and L ligands, forming two-dimensional coordination networks, which are associated into the three-dimensional structure through O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds

Symmetric multiparty-controlled teleportation of an arbitrary two-particle entanglement

We present a way for symmetric multiparty-controlled teleportation of an arbitrary two-particle entangled state based on Bell-basis measurements by using two Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states, i.e., a sender transmits an arbitrary two-particle entangled state to a distant receiver, an arbitrary one of the $n+1$ agents via the control of the others in a network. It will be shown that the outcomes in the cases that $n$ is odd or it is even are different in principle as the receiver has to perform a controlled-not operation on his particles for reconstructing the original arbitrary entangled state in addition to some local unitary operations in the former. Also we discuss the applications of this controlled teleporation for quantum secret sharing of classical and quantum information. As all the instances can be used to carry useful information, its efficiency for qubits approaches the maximal value.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures; the revised version published in Physical Review A 72, 022338 (2005).
