Concrete has been widely utilized as a radiation shielding material due to its properties and structural integrity. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of ordinary concrete versus barite concrete as radiation shielding materials, focusing on the physical aspects and changes in crystal size lattice parameters after neutron irradiation. Specifically, the research investigates the shielding effectiveness of these materials across different grades (M15, M25, M35, and M45) against gamma-ray sources Cobalt-60 and Caesium-137.

Three amylin receptors (AMYRs) mediate the metabolic actions of the peptide hormone amylin and are drug targets for diabetes and obesity. AMYR, AMYR, and AMYR are heterodimers consisting of the G protein-coupled calcitonin receptor (CTR) paired with a RAMP1, -2, or -3 accessory subunit, respectively, which increases amylin potency. Little is known about AMYR subunit interactions and their role in signaling.
