Abstract Background Similar to other local therapeutic methods, local interstitial radiotherapy (IRT) also suffers from insufficient systematic immune activation, resulting in tumor metastasis.Results Mn-based IRT radiosensitizers consisting of 131I, MnO2 and bovine serum albumin (BSA) (131I-MnO2-BSA) were engineered.Such Mn-based IRT radiosensitiz
Structural Properties of Fe Doped TiO2 Nanorods Prepared by Low Cost Hydrothermal Method
In this work, titanium dioxide films were deposited on fluorine tin oxide (FTO)-glass substrates using Hydrothermal method.A low-cost homemade autoclave was used to fabricate pure TiO2 and Fe-doped (0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7% and 1.5%) Preorder films.X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the predominant phase is rutile (R-TiO2) with peaks at (101), Po
Radical Solutions for Education in Africa: Open Education and Self-directed Learning in the Continent.
The discourse of educational philosophy has gradually shifted over years from pedagogy to andragogy to heutagogy.In pedagogy, what is learnt, and how, is both determined and directed by the teacher; in andragogy, it is determined by the teacher and directed by the learner; in heutagogy, both determination and direction shift to the learner (Blashke
