Interior Decoration of Stable Metal–Organic Frameworks

Recent advances in carbon dioxide capture with metalorganic frameworks

Uncontrolled massive release of the primary greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) into atmosphere from anthropogenic activities poses a big threat and adversely affects our global climate and natural environment. One promising approach to mitigate CO2 emission is carbon capture and storage (CCS), in which ideal adsorbent materials with high storage capacity and excellent adsorption selectivity ov...

Needs Assessment of Using Iranian Handmade Carpets in Iranian Interior Decoration Products

Carpet has been the visualization of the culture and art of Iran during different periods of history. It is the sign of an age-old, strong culture with the capacity of absorbing alien cultures and the power to give them an Iranian look. On the other hand, carpet is a nostalgic product. Studies show that nostalgia is a mechanism for dealing with the future anxiety. This means that the use of car...

Comparative Analysis of Baroque and Rococo in Interior Decoration of the Masudieh Complex & Qavam Al-Saltaneh Building

Drug delivery and controlled release from biocompatible metalorganic frameworks using mechanical amorphization

We have used a family of Zr-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with different functionalized (bromo, nitro and amino) and extended linkers for drug delivery. We loaded the materials with the fluorescent model molecule calcein and the anticancer drug a-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (a-CHC), and consequently performed a mechanical amorphization process to attempt to control the delivery of gues...

Allergic contact eczema caused by exotic wood material in sauna interior decoration.

A 45-year-old female teacher was referred to our clinic because of a severe and treatment-resistant dermatitis. She had no previous history of eczema. Dermatitis first appeared in her right elbow and upper arm. Over the next few weeks, the dermatitis spread to her back and left upper arm. We took two skin bunch biopsies from her back. She was told to avoid sauna bathing for 2 weeks because of t...
