Recently, there has been increased interest in the shaping of light fields with an inverse energy flux to guide optically trapped nano- and microparticles towards a radiation source. To generate flux, non-uniformly polarized laser beams, especially higher-order cylindrical vector are widely used. Here, we demonstrate use conventional so-called generalized spiral phase plates for formation when ...

nowadays, the use of innovative nano-technology in the food industry quality control has significantly increased and it is widely employed in numerous fields such as diagnosis of microbial toxin of foods using nano-biosensors, increasing food shelf-life with the help of nano-clay and nano-silver packaging, as well as changing some of the unpleasant organoleptic properties such as taste, color, ...

in this research, the bending analysis of rectangular nanoplates subjected to mechanical loading is investigated. for this purpose, the strain gradient elasticity theory with one gradient parameter is presented to study the nanoplates. from the best knowledge of authors, it is the first time that the exponential shear deformation formulation based on strain gradient elasticity theory is carried...

statement of the problem: during the orthodontic treatment, microbial plaques may accumulate around the brackets and cause caries, especially in high-risk patients. finding ways to eliminate this microbial plaque seems to be essential. purpose: the aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial effects of nano copper oxide (cuo) and nano zinc oxide (zno) coated brackets against streptococcu...

We produced low-molecular-weight heparin/protamine micro (nano) particles (LMW-H/P MPs·NPs) as a carrier for heparin-binding growth factors (GFs), such as fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 and various GFs in platelet-rich plasma (PRP). A mixture of LMW-H (MW: approximately 5000 Da, 6.4 mg/ml) and protamine (MW: approximately 3000 Da, 10 mg/ml) at a ratio of 7:3 (vol:vol) yields a dispersion of m...
