The thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus spec. B12 , which is closely related to Sulfolobus solfataricus , possesses a regularly arrayed surface protein (S-layer), which is linked to the plasma membrane via spacer elements spanning a distinct interspace of approximately 18 nm. The S-layer has p3-Symmetry and a lattice constant of 21 nm; three-dimensional reconstructions of negatively stained fragments yield a layer thickness of approximately 6-7 nm.For analysing the molecular architecture of Sulfolobus surface protein in greater detail we use aurothioglucose(ATG)-embedding for specimen preparation. Like glucose, ATG, is supposed to mimic the effect of water, but has the advantage of being less volatile. ATG has advantages over glucose when working with specimens composed exclusively of protein because of its higher density of 2.92 g cm-3. Because of its high radiation sensitivity electromicrographs has to be recorded under strict low-dose conditions. We have recorded electromicrographs with a liquid helium-cooled superconducting electron microscope (the socalled SULEIKA at the Fritz-Haber-lnstitut) with a specimen temperature of 4.5 K and with a maximum dose of 2000 e nm-2 avoiding any pre-irradiation of the specimen.

Summary:Clinical studies demonstrate a gain in diagnostic accuracy by employing combined PET/CT instead of separate CT and PET imaging. However, whole-body PET/CT examinations result in a comparatively high radiation burden to patients and thus require a proper justification and optimization to avoid repeated exposure or over-exposure of patients. This review article summarizes relevant data concerning radiation exposure of patients resulting from the different components of a combined PET/CT examination and presents different imaging strategies that can help to balance the diagnostic needs and the radiation protection requirements. In addition various dose reduction measures are discussed, some of which can be adopted from CT practice, while others mandate modifications to the existing hardand software of PET/CT systems.

This study is an attempt to correlate VLF-EM data with the radiometric measurements to decipher the subsurface structure and to locate uranium mineralization in the shear zone. The study area is around Beldih mine which is an open cast apatite mine located on the South Purulia Shear Zone. VLF method has been applied to map the structure and the presence of radioactive minerals has been delineated by the detection of highαandγcounts with respect to the background radiations. High radiation counts and high surfaceγactivity are found just above the higher apparent current-density zones in all the profiles studied, at various locations, indicating uranium and/or thorium mineralization as well as good correlation between these techniques.
