The Harary index H can be viewed as a molecular structure descriptor composed of increments representing interactions between pairs of atoms, such that their magnitude decreases with the increasing distance between the respective two atoms. A generalization of the Harary index, denoted by Hk, is achieved by employing the Steiner-type distance between k-tuples of atoms. We show that the linear c...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the heat generated from different depths of an implant drilling site with and without a sleeve. materials and methods: in this study, 60 cortical bone samples were used and a load of 2.0 kg was applied. rilling for implant surgery, we used a diameter of 4.3 mm and a normal sleeve. heat was measured from 3 different depths(3,6, and 9 mms). d...

magnesium oxide nanotubes of finite length are investigated by the density functional theory (dft) at the b3lyp/6-31g (d) level. the (6, 0) zigzag and (4, 4) armchair of mgo nanotubes were considered and nuclear magnetic resonance properties including isotropic and anisotropic chemical shielding parameters (csi and csa) were calculated for 25mg and 17o atoms of the optimized structures for the ...

the objectives of this experiment were to investigate the application of new ligands including different atoms & evaluation their nucleophile effects against various metals. chemistry researchers are really interested in this field. from among various ligands, there are some ligands with different coordinating ligands as well. there are great number of intermediate complexes and major eleme...

protein structural flexibility is important for catalysis, binding, protein design, and allostery. some simple methods have recently been introduced to compute protein flexibility directly from the protein structure without any mechanical models. for example the atomic mean square displacement (or b-factor) is related to the number of neighboring atoms. the protein structure can be modeled as a...

Introduction: Cochlear implantation can facilitate the development of communication skills in children with profound hearing loss. The objectives of our study were to determine the average ages at suspicion and diagnosis of hearing loss, amplification, intervention, and performing the cochlear implantation and to investigate the effects of the parents’ level of education and economic circumsta...

The endometrium is a highly dynamic tissue empowered with the capacity to undergo cyclic dramatic changes in response to ovarian steroid hormones, ultimately aiming to create a window of receptivity for blastocyst implantation. Intensive research has been performed to understand and establish morphological and molecular correlates of embryo implantation. However, it still remains a biological m...

Abstract As a one-atom thick, mechanically strong, and chemically stable material with unique electronic properties, graphene can serve as the basis for large number of applications. One way to tailor its properties is controlled introduction covalently bound heteroatoms into lattice. In this study, we demonstrate efficient implantation individual gold atoms up concentration 1.7 × 10 11 cm −2 v...

Cochlear implantation has become an increasingly common procedure in the rehabilitation of selected cases of profound deafness.' Patients should have profound total bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Sound is transformed into small electric currents which stimulate the auditory nerves in the cochlea and generate the hearing sensation. The nucleus cochlear implant is the result of more t...
