the ultra-nanocrystalline diamond (uncd) was synthesized by the detonation of a high explosive mixture in water confinement. the presence of a diamond phase was revealed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). x-ray line broadening (xrlb) was used to evaluate the peak profiles of diamond nanoparticles and their corresponding average crystallite sizes. the micro st...

conclusions although our patient had ckd stage 4, but his condition has not deteriorated and remained constant and stable for several years only by control of blood pressure and usual treatment which prescribed for patients at this stage case presentation a 78-year-old man presented with stage 4 ckd for 7 years; the glomerular filtration rate (gfr) and creatinine levels remained constant despit...

MXene (Ti3C2Tx) film prepared by vacuum-assisted filtration (V-MXene film) is the most common 2D macroscopic assembly with ultra-high electrical conductivity, tunable interlayer space, diverse surface chemical properties, favorable mechanical properties and so on, showing great commercial value in fields of energy storage, electromagnetic interference shielding actuators on. This paper focuses ...

Biofouling is a common but significant issue in the membrane process as it reduces permeate flux, increases energy costs, and shortens life span of membranes. As an effective antibacterial agent, small amount silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) immobilized on surfaces will alleviate from biofouling. However, loading AgNPs surface remains challenge due to low efficiency or lack bonding stability betwee...

in this paper, vector ultrametric spaces are introduced and a fixed point theorem is given forcorrespondences. our main result generalizes a known theorem in ordinary ultrametric spaces.

background the treatment of onychomycosis is a challenge and infections are typically more severe and difficult to treat in toenails than in fingernails. objectives the current study aimed to investigate the fungicidal effect of ultraviolet radiation on the growth of dermatophytes isolated from nails. patients and methods samples from patients with clinical manifestations of onychomycosis were ...

conclusions la increases the risk of cva and dementia. the la pathology is unknown. the epidemiological studies revealed the age, diabetes, smoking and atherosclerosis are related with la. our findings showed that cimt as an atherosclerosis marker was higher in la patients than control group. results totally 200 patients were studied, 102 in normal group and 98 in ila group. the mean age of pat...
