Design and Documentation (QIE)

Production of anticandidal cotton textiles treated with oak gall extract.

Candida albicans, one of the most dreadful fungal pathogens threatening humans, could not be easily prevented. The anticandidal activity of oak gall extract, Quercus infectoria (QIE), was investigated as a potential natural alternative to synthetic and chemical fungicides. QIE anticandidal potentiality was confirmed using both qualitative and quantitative assays. Cotton textiles were treated wi...

Nursing Care and Documentation Assistant with an Electronic Nursing Management System in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Background: All nursing cares require decision-making, and the ability to make the best decisions impact upon the quality of nursing care. Moreover, authenticity and accuracy of the best cares may be questioned if not recorded and reported properly and in a standard manner. We aimed to design and implement an electronic nursing managementsystem and then evaluate satisfaction of nurses with the ...

Assessment of the Effect of Continuing Education Program on Nurse’s Knowledge, Attitude and Performance about Documentation

Background: Documentation is one of the nurses’ professional tasks, which is an important component of medical evidence and patient’s record. Finding effective teaching methods for enhancing nurses’ ability in documentation can be helpful. Aim: This study was performed to determine the effect of continuing education program on nurse’s knowledge, attitude and performance about documentation. Met...

Structural studies of membrane proteins using transmission electron microscopy

Quantum-interference-controlled molecular electronics.

Quantum interference in coherent transport through single molecular rings may provide a mechanism to control the current in molecular electronics. We investigate its applicability, using a single-particle Green function method combined with ab initio electronic structure calculations. We find that the quantum interference effect (QIE) is strongly dependent on the interaction between molecular p...
