Antimicrobial and Ion-exchange Properties of Layered KHSi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> Compounds Prepared Using Amorphous Silicon Dioxide (a-SiO<sub>2</sub>) Blocks

Properties of Amorphous Silicon Germanium Films and Devices Prepared Using Chemical Annealing

Amorphous silicon germanium solar cells have been extensively used for many years due to the low cost, easy fabrication, tunable bandgap and special properties. However, it is found that the properties of a-SiGe:H materials is not good as a-Si:H, and this limits the application of a-SiGe:H solar cells and brings the stability concern. Recently, it has been shown that this instability is correla...

Physico-mechanical and antimicrobial properties of quince seed mucilage supplemented with titanium dioxide and silicon oxide nanoparticles

Objective(s): Quince seed mucilage (QSM) serves as a new source of hydrocolloid which extracted from outer pericarp of Cydonia oblonga seeds upon wetting. It has been traditionally used for the treatment of diseases such as pharyngeal disorder, common cold, colic ulcer, and diarrhea. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the physico-mechanical and antimicrobial properties of quince seed ...

In vivo dose verification using using an amorphous silicon flat panel-type imager (a-Si EPIDs)

Introduction: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) could be used to dose verification of radiotherapy treatment plans. In vivo dose verification is performed to reduce differences found between dose delivered to the patient and the prescribed dose. The aim of this study was to perform a fast and efficient technique for the verification of delivered dose to the patient usin...
