Many radioisotopes are used in nuclear medicine diagnostics and therapy. Co-57, In-111 and Tc-99m isotopes are widely used in nuclear medicine and are successfully implemented in renal imaging. In this work, the cross section calculation of the (p, 2n) reaction, which is necessary for production of the nuclei of Co-57, In-111, Tc-99m, were calculated using TALYS 1.6 nuclear reaction code. The calculated cross sections were compared with the experimental data from the EXFOR

Trends in the market growth for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC): A review of the market dynamics

Hydrogen is considered the energy of the future and there is an intensive research in the field. A Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is an energy transformation system and transforms chemical energy into electric energy and is the most developed type of the fuel cells. The current research reports considerable progress into commercialization. Companies in different countries already launched various products into the market and have made significant progress. The figures about the existing market show that there is a sharp growth trend in the PEMFC market due to many potential areas of use of it including transportation, industry, and settlement and its convenience. Although there is a considerable amount of research that has focused on the technical side of the issue, which was mainly performed by the fuel cell researchers, the market side seems to be neglected: This side of the research is expected to be performed by business researchers, which is what this study attempts to do. This study attempts to review the growth trends in the PEMFC, market dynamics and other related aspects, within the context of some major countries and Turkey, from the business point of view. © EuroJournals, Inc. 2007

Calculation of the (p,n) reaction cross section of radionuclides used for PET applications

Positron emission tomography is an imaging method which plays an important role in the diagnosis and monitoring of cancer cells using radioactive substances. In this study (p,n) reaction cross sections of some radionuclides (Cu-61, Ga-66, Br-76) were calculated using Talys 1.6 nuclear simulation code. The calculated cross-sections were compared with experimental values taken from EXFOR

The Theoretical Production of In Isotopes by Insertion of Alpha Particles into Cd Nucleus

Knowledge of the cross sections of reactions of charged particles with target material is needed to understand well the mechanisms of nuclear reactions. One of the main application fields of nuclear technology and nuclear reactions is medicine. Radioisotopes are used in medicine and production of these radioisotopes is important. In the production processes, the cross sections must be known. For this purpose, in this study, theoretical cross sections of production of In isotopes by alpha irradiation have been calculated using Talys 1.6 nuclear reaction simulation code. The obtained results are compared with the existing experimental data
