introduction: basal cell carcinoma (bcc) is the most common cutaneous malignancy. proffered treatment for these lesions is surgery. based on patient’s age, drug allergies, and place of lesions, surgery may not be the best option, and alternative treatments should be considered. pulsed dye laser (pdl) may be a good alternative therapy. the aim of the present study was to determine the effectiven...

up to now, lots of materials such as active carbon, iron, manganese, zirconium, and metal oxides have been widely used for removal of dyes from contaminated water. among these, ferrite nanoparticle is an interesting magnetic material due to its moderate saturation magnetization, excellent chemical stability and mechanical hardness. graphene, a new class of 2d carbonaceous material with atom thi...

Even today, some types of fuel cells have been already used in practical applications such as combined heat and power generation applications and space vehicle applications. Though research and development activities are still required, the fuel cell technology is one of the most important technologies that allow us to draw the environment friendly society in the twenty-first century. This sect...

The present paper investigates monitoring of fatigue cracks of a metal structure using an eddy current micro sensor. Fatigue cracks tend to occur at bolt-jointed structures on an aircraft. In order to detect the damage quantitatively, a kind of change-prone micro eddy current sensor is designed and fabricated with flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) technology. A forward semi-analytical model...

This study’s overarching aim is to establish the areal extent and characteristics of the rapid sugarcane expansion and land use change in São Paulo state (Brazil) as a result of an increase in the demand for ethanol, using Landsat type remotely sensed data. In 2003 flex fuel automobiles started to enter the Brazilian consumer market causing a dramatic expansion of sugarcane areas from 2.57 mill...
