Two types of imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide ([C(4)mim][NTF(2)]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C(4)mim][BF(4)]), confined between silica surfaces were investigated by surface force apparatus (SFA)-based resonance shear measurements together with surface force measurements. The surface force profiles in the...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of progressive hereditary disorders of the retina in which various modes of inheritance have been described. The X linked forms of retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP, MIM 268000) are among the most severe owing to their early onset, leading to significant vision loss before the fourth decade. Five XLRP loci have been localised by linkage: RP2 (MIM 312600), RP3 (MIM ...

Design flexibility, mass customization, waste reduction and the ability to manufacture near-net complex-shape structures, as well rapid prototyping, are main advantages of Metal Injection Molding (MIM). A brief review MIM technique, materials their development trending applications using iron powders was delineated. The ground-breaking in automotive, medical, magnetic were discussed. current-st...

Abstract Fractured rocks in the subsurface are ubiquitous, and dynamics of mass transfer fractured plays an important role understanding problem engineering geology environmental geology. In this study, influence shear displacement on fluid flow solute transport a 3D rough fracture was investigated. A self-affine generated using modified successive random addition (SRA) technology, three sheare...

Hereditary spherocytosis (HS), the most common inherited hemolytic anemia disorder, is characterized by osmotically fragile microspherocytic red cells with a reduced surface area on peripheral blood smear. Pathogenic variants in five erythrocyte membrane structure-related genes ANK1 (Spherocytosis, type 1; MIM#182900), SPTB 2; MIM#616649), SPTA1 3; MIM#270970), SLC4A1 4; MIM#612653) and EPB42 5...

Microwave reaction of Ln(OAc)(3).xH(2)O, Ln = Gd, Eu; OAc = acetate) with and in the ionic liquid [C(4)mim][BF(4)] (C(4)mim = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) allows the fast and efficient synthesis of small, uniform, oxygen-free lanthanide nanofluorides with excellent photophysical behaviour. For GdF(3) : Eu(3+) nanoparticles a quantum efficiency of up to 145% was determined.

The coupling coefficients of two parallel metal-insulator-metal (MIM) plasmonic waveguides are investigated using the analysis of the coupled-mode equations. The frequency characteristics of the power transmittance of a MIM waveguide coupled with a resonant cavity are studied and compared with the simulation results obtained from the FDTD method into which motion equations of free electrons are...

Dent’s disease (MIM #300009) is a rare X-linked disorder characterized by various degrees of proximal tubular (PT) dysfunction, nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis. The exact prevalence is unknown. The disease was first reported by Dent and Friedman, who described two males with vitamin D resistant rickets, hypercalciuria and low molecular weight proteinuria (LMWP) (Dent & Friedman, 1964). Bas...
