The results are in reasonable agreement with previous experimental and theoretical results which shows the applicability of the Geant-DNA toolkit in nanodosimetry calculations which benefits from the open-source accessibility with the advantage that the DNA models used in this work enable us to save the computational time. Also, the results showed that the simpler geometry is suitable for direct break calculations, while for the indirect damage yield, the more precise model is preferred.
The treatment of bacterial infections and the rising challenges of antibiotics resistance are global concerns and the primary topics in basic science and clinical microbiology. In the present study, the effectiveness of treatment of selected populations of bacteria using an immaterial and non-energetic method called Fara-darmani Consciousness Field treatment is investigated. Population growth was assessed by turbidimetry, colony counting and tetrazolium chloride reduction assays in non-treated control and Fara-darmani-treated groups. Our results suggest effectiveness of the Fara-darmani Consciousness Field on reducing various types of bacterial strain growth rates (up to 46%). In addition, along with a decrease in bacterial population, evidence of increased survival can be seen in the larger healthy population (up to about 60%). Thus, in this study, we confirm the effects of the Consciousness Field on bacterial population survival. This study also warrants additional research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
