Nanoparticle Polydispersity Can Strongly Affect In Vitro Dose

HLA Micropolymorphisms Strongly Affect

Stability of the double gyroid phase to nanoparticle polydispersity in polymer-tethered nanosphere systems†

Recent simulations predict that aggregating nanospheres functionalized with polymer ‘‘tethers’’ can self-assemble to form the double gyroid (DG) phase seen in block copolymer and surfactant systems. Within the struts of the gyroid, the nanoparticles pack in icosahedral motifs, stabilizing the gyroid phase in a small region of the phase diagram. Here, we study the impact of nanoparticle size pol...

Adhesion of mineral and soot aerosols can strongly affect their scattering and absorption properties.

We use the numerically exact superposition T-matrix method to compute the optical cross sections and the Stokes scattering matrix for polydisperse mineral aerosols (modeled as homogeneous spheres) covered with a large number of much smaller soot particles. These results are compared with the Lorenz-Mie results for a uniform external mixture of mineral and soot aerosols. We show that the effect ...

Can ovariectomy and learning affect prefrontal cortex GABAAα1 receptor distribution in passive avoidance model in rats?

Introduction: The interaction between steroid hormones and neurotransmitters such as GABA has been proved. The regulation of muscimol binding to high-affinity GABAA receptors by estradiol and progesterone has been studied within distinct brain regions using in vitro quantitative autoradiography. There are few studies about the mechanism of the effect of steroid hormones on behaviors such as ...

Onm-10: How Collaborative Counseling Can Affect Perceived Infertility-Related Stress in Infertile Women Undergoing IVF

Background: Infertility is a stressful event in infertile couples' life that can cause severe psychological problems. A variety of approaches has been suggested to manage stress in these couples. This study addressed the effect of collaborative counseling on perceived infertility-related stress in infertile women undergoing IVF in 2010 in Mashhad, Iran. Materials and Methods: In this clini...
