Background: In recent years, nanomaterials have been widely used in large quantities which make people bemore frequently exposed to the chemically synthesized nanoparticles (NPs). When NPs are introduced intoan organism, they may interact with a variety of cellular components with yet largely unknown pathologicalconsequences.Objective: I...

INTRODUCTION Melatonin has been considered a potent antioxidant that detoxifies a variety of reactive oxygen species in many pathophysiological states of eye. The present study was designed to determine the effects of Wi-Fi exposure on the lens oxidant, antioxidant redox systems, as well as the possible protective effects of melatonin on the lens injury induced by electromagnetic radiation (EMR...

This report describes a system for integrating photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) using fi beroptics. Many photoelectric sensors or 1-m-long line sensors that integrate individual interception points for spatial averaging were replaced with fi beroptics, which integrate interception points. Depending on the positioning of optical fi bers and the amount of fi bers terminated at a PAR sens...

© 2014 Materials Research Society MRS BULLETIN • VOLUME 39 • JUNE 2014 • www.mrs.org/bulletin Introduction Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond fi lm technology has experienced modest growth in the last two decades in terms of scientifi c and technological advances in the fi eld, which has, ultimately, positively affected progress in diamondbased microelectromechanical/nanoelectromechanical ...

Employing the $^{11}\mathrm{B}(p,\ensuremath{\gamma})^{12}\mathrm{C}$ nuclear reaction, angular correlation of ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ pairs was investigated in range ${40}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}\ensuremath{\le}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Theta}}\ensuremath{\le}{175}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ for five different proton energies between ${E}_{p}=1.50$--2.5 MeV. At small angles ($\mathrm{\ensuremath{\The...

Purpose: The present systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the role of posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) in the control of fecal incontinence (FI). Methods: Two independent reviewers extensively searched in the electronic databases of Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science, CINAHL, and Scopus for the studies published...
