results anxiety scores in the intervention groups in active phase after intervention were significantly lower than the control group (p < 0.001). anxiety scores before and after intervention in intervention groups in transitional phase was significantly lower than the control group (p < 0.001). patients and methods this clinical trial study was performed after obtaining informed written consent...

one of the well-known herbal drugs is henna (lawsonia inermis). according to the components in henna, several beneficial properties (i.e., antimicrobial, anti-inflammation, wound healing, trypsin inhibitory and antioxidant) have been reported. the present study was designed to investigate the effects of two natural substances (sodium chloride and henna extract) on experimental skin lesion due t...

A Maxwell’s demon type “information engine” that extracts work from a bath is constructed from a microscopic Hamiltonian for the whole system including a subsystem, a thermal bath, and a nonequilibrium bath of phonons or photons that represents an information source or sink. The kinetics of the engine is calculated self-consistently from the state of the nonequilibrium bath, and the relation of...

We study dynamics of a two-level system coupled simultaneously to a pair of dissimilar reservoirs, namely, a spin bath and a boson bath, which are connected via finite interbath coupling. It is found that the steady-state population transfer in the two-level system increases with its coupling to the spin bath, while optimal transfer occurs at intermediate coupling in the transient process. If t...

In this paper, a comparative study of the treatment of raw and biotreated (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket, UASB) textile dye bath effluent using advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is presented. The AOPs applied on raw and biotreated textile dye bath effluent, after characterization in terms of COD, colour, BOD and pH, were ozone, UV, UV/H2O2 and photo-Fenton. The decolorization of raw dye bat...

Trunk-only bath rewarming has often been recommended over whole-body bath rewarming as a method for the treatment of immersion hypothermia. At present, no report of a direct comparison of the relative merits of these techniques has been made. Authorities in favor of trunk-only bath rewarming base their proposal on the assumption that core temperature afterdrop would be minimized by preventing p...

background: solid targets that consist of powder and electrodeposited targets are used commonly to produce radionuclides by accelerators. since silver is easily electrodeposited in cyanide baths and has a very excellent thermal conductivity, the electrodeposited target is preferable to produce 109cd. to avoid cracking or peeling of the target during bombardment, it should have a level surface a...

background and objective: lack of sleep (insomnia) is a common problem involving society members and inpa-tients causing different physiological effects. treatment includes a variety of several pharmacologic or other techniques. one of the non-pharmacologic methods is local heating of terminal organs (passive body heating). manipulation of body temperature is a potential therapeutic interventio...
