We herein report two cases of occult Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD) after phacoemulsification surgery, which initially presented as persistent corneal edema and had been considered as pseudophakic bullous keratopathy. The patients were thus scheduled to receive corneal transplantation. For Case 1, DMD was incidentally detected by slit-lamp examination 2 months postoperatively, only when p...

Plant growth-promoting bacterial endophytes (PGPBEs) produce volatile and diffusible compounds that inhibit phytopathogens (Santoyo et al., 2016) [1]. A recent work by Rojas-Solis and colleagues [2] demonstrated the antifungal effect of volatile organic compounds exerted by the Pseudomonas stutzeri E25 and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia CR71 endophytes, highlighting the production of sulfur-conta...

This paper addresses the variations that presently exist regarding the definition, determination, and reporting of detection limits for volatile sulphur compounds by gas chromatography with pulsed flame photometric detection (GC-PFPD). Gas standards containing hydrogen sulphide (H(2)S), carbonyl sulphide (COS), sulphur dioxide (SO(2)), methyl mercaptan (CH(3)SH), dimethyl sulphide (DMS), carbon...

MS (multiple sclerosis) is a chronic autoimmune and neurodegenerative pathology of the CNS (central nervous system) affecting approx. 2.5 million people worldwide. Current and emerging DMDs (disease-modifying drugs) predominantly target the immune system. These therapeutic agents slow progression and reduce severity at early stages of MS, but show little activity on the neurodegenerative compon...

High resolution digital micro-mirror devices (DMDs) make it possible to produce nearly arbitrary light fields with high accuracy, reproducibility, and low optical aberrations. However, using these devices to trap and manipulate ultracold atomic systems for, e.g., quantum simulation is often complicated by the presence of kHz-frequency switching noise. Here we demonstrate a simple hardware exten...

Many developments have recently been made in mining dynamic networks; however, effective visualization of dynamic networks remains a significant challenge. Dynamic networks are typically visualized via a sequence of static graph layouts. In addition to providing a visual representation of the network topology at each time step, the sequence should preserve the “mental map” between layouts of co...

يهدف البحث الى تسليط الضوء على الموقف البريطاني من الازمة العراقية -الكويتية في حزيران عام 1961 والتي برزت بعد التصريح الذي أدلى به رئيس الوزراء العراقي عبد الكريم قاسم المؤتمر الصحفي عقد الخامس والعشرين 1961، والذي طالب فيها السيادة الكويت، مما أدى بدء ازمة سياسية بين العراق والكويت مجددآ كانت لها صدى الصعيدين الدولي والإقليمي .

شرایط افروزش و اشتعال سوخت‌های گداخت هسته‌ای در حضور ناخالص­‌ها، یکی از موارد مهمی است که طراحی قرص‌های سوخت باید مورد توجه قرار گیرد. این مقاله اثر ناخالصی هسته سنگین طلا بر کلیه فرایندهای احتراق پلاسمای غیرتعادلی دوتریم- تریتیم مدل چهار دمایی آن شکل تابع توزیع انرژی رفتار فوتون‌ها تأثیر می‌گذارد بررسی گرفته است. مطالعه شامل اثرات منفی سوخت، طول زمان تشکیل لکه داغ نتایج محاسبات عددی به­ دست آم...
