Background: Given the popularity of pterional craniotomy, numerous modifications have been made to prevent postoperative deformities. With advent titanium plates, fixation has become both simple and excellent. However, plates can cause skin problems, infection, or skull growth fail. Methods: To develop a simple, cost-effective, esthetically satisfactory method, without use non-metallic material...

Modulating the electrocatalytic performance of Palladium (Pd) with nonmetallic elements (e.g., H, B, C, N, O, P and S) has gained ever-increasing attention since their introduction been proven to effectively modulate 3d-electronic configuration subsurface properties Pd. In this review, most advanced nonmetal-modified Pd-based catalysts are classified according different doped atoms (i.e., hydri...

glipizide has been found to form inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin (β-cd) in solution and in solid state. the present study was undertaken to determine a suitable method for scaling up glipizide-β-cd inclusion complex formation and to evaluate the effect of some parameters on the efficiency of complexation. the solid inclusion complexes of glipizide and β-cd were prepared at a molar ratio...

Density matrix perturbation theory [Niklasson and Challacombe, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 193001 (2004)] is generalized to canonical (NVT) free-energy ensembles in tight-binding, Hartree-Fock, or Kohn-Sham density-functional theory. The canonical density matrix perturbation theory can be used to calculate temperature-dependent response properties from the coupled perturbed self-consistent field equat...
