Theoretical studies on structural and decay properties of superheavy nuclei
In this manuscript, we analyze the structural properties of
superheavy nuclei in the mass range of 284 A 375 within the
framework of deformed relativistic mean field theory (RMF) and calculate the
binding energy, radii, quadrupole deformation parameter, separation energies
and density profile. Further, a competition between possible decay modes such
as decay, decay and spontaneous fission (SF) of the isotopic
chain of superheavy nuclei under study is systematically analyzed
within self-consistent relativistic mean field model. Moreover, our analysis
confirmed that decay is restricted within the mass range 284 A
296 and thus being the dominant decay channel in this mass range.
However, for the mass range 297 A 375 the nuclei are unable to
survive fission and hence SF is the principal mode of decay for these isotopes.
There is no possibility of decay for the considered isotopic chain. In
addition, we forecasted the mode of decay 119 as one chain
from 119 and 119, two consistent chains from
119 and 119, three consistent chains from 119
and 119, four consistent alpha chains from 119, six consistent
alpha chains from 119. Also from our analysis we inferred that for
the isotopes Bh both decay and SF are equally
competent and can decay via either of these two modes. Thus, such studies can
be of great significance to the experimentalists in very near future for
synthesizing superheavy nuclei.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Structural and decay properties of superheavy nuclei
In this paper, we analyze the structural properties of and
superheavy nuclei within the ambit of axially deformed relativistic mean-field
framework with NL parametrization and calculate the total binding
energies, radii, quadrupole deformation parameter, separation energies, density
distributions. We also investigate the phenomenon of shape coexistence by
performing the calculations for prolate, oblate and spherical configurations.
For clear presentation of nucleon distributions, the two-dimensional contour
representation of individual nucleon density and total matter density has been
made. Further, a competition between possible decay modes such as
-decay, -decay and spontaneous fission of the isotopic chain of
superheavy nuclei with within the range 312 A 392 and 318
A 398 for is systematically analyzed within self-consistent
relativistic mean field model. From our analysis, we inferred that the
-decay and spontaneous fission are the principal modes of decay in
majority of the isotopes of superheavy nuclei under investigation apart from
decay as dominant mode of decay in isotopes.Comment: 16 pages, 10 figures , 8 table
Severe androgenetic alopecia as a maker of metabolic syndrome in male patients of androgenetic alopecia: a hospital based case control study
Background: Several previous studies have investigated the association between androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and metabolic syndrome (MS), with inconsistent results. Objectives of the study were to study the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in male patients of androgenetic alopecia and compare with control population and study the relationship of metabolic syndrome with different grades of AGA.Methods: This prospective hospital based case control study included 100 new clinically diagnosed males of androgenetic alopecia, and age and sex matched control group. Assessment for presence of various components of metabolic syndrome was done following a uniform protocol in cases and controls. AGA was classified as per Hamilton –Narwood classification, grade I to III was classified as mild –moderate and grade IV and higher as severe AGA.Results: Of the 100 male AGA patients (age range 21-50, mean 34.49), 36 had grade II AGA, 24 had grade III AGA, 20 had grade IV AGA, 15 had grade V AGA and 5 had grade VI AGA. Among AGA patients, 60 of patients had mild-moderate AGA and 40 patients had severe AGA. Metabolic syndrome was statistically significantly more common in patients with AGA compared to controls. Among patients of AGA, metabolic syndrome was statistically significantly present in severe AGA compared to mild-moderate AGA. Among the evaluated parameters, like blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, dyslipedemia, abdominal obesity, all were significantly more common in AGA patients compared to controls except abdominal obesity.Conclusions: In the present study, metabolic syndrome was found to be 4.6 times more common in patients of androgenetic alopecia as compared to controls, being statistically significant, and more common in those with severe grades. This suggests that androgenetic alopecia patients especially with severe grades are at risk of metabolic syndrome and other cardiovascular diseases
