We present a case in which arthroscopy was used to remove foreign body debris secondary to an improvised explosive device (IED) from the wrist. The patient had noted pain for 6 months after sustaining multiple injuries after an IED detonation near the armored car in which he was traveling. He had pain on examination at the ulnar fovea with palpation and palpable clunking with forced ulnar devia...

Autoimmune nephritis triggered by metallic ions was assessed in a Long-Evans rat model. The parameters evaluated included antinuclear autoantibody production, kidney damage mediated by immune complexes detected by immunofluorescence, and renal function tested by retention of nitrogen waste products and proteinuria. To accomplish our goal, the animals were treated with the following ionic metals...

Plasmon hybridization theory (PHT) is an analytical model developed for understanding plasmonic interactions within complex metallic nanostructures, and gives a useful insight for optimizing design parameters. However, this theory is based on the electrostatic limit, which restricts the model to nanostructures much smaller than the free space wavelength of light. Here, we extend the PHT to inco...

In complex electromagnetic (EM) environment, EM field distribution inside a metallic enclosure is determined by the external EM radiation and emissions from internal contents. In the design of an electronic system, we usually need to estimate the EM field level in a concerned region inside the enclosure under various EM environments. In this paper, we use artificial neural network (ANN), rather...

In this article various pipes used for transporting of gas are introduced and pros and cons of each one are elucidated. The pipes are categorized in three different subgroups including metallic, polymeric and metallic-wire reinforced polymeric pipes. Metallic-wire reinforced polymeric pipes are nominated as the best option for usage in high pressure pipelines transporting natural gas. As a resu...

microwave energy has potential for the efficient heating of minerals. minerals or materials, which couple to microwave energy are called dielectrics and many valuable minerals are found to be dielectric. the mineral ilmenite is one which shows good dielectric heating characteristics. in this paper, the effect of microwave heat energy on the partial reduction of oxidized ilmenite oxidized in ...

According to circumstance of kerman sarcheshmeh cooper complex that its anode slime is mainly consisted of Cu, Ag, Au, Pb and Se. In this work, recovery of silver from anode slime and subsequent synthesis of silver nanoparticles from leaching solution was made. Silver was separated from anode slime by using of HNO3 and HCl. X-Ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) was used to characterize anode sl...

the interaction of fe2+ ion with pyrazole was theoretically studied by gussian 03, software at hf/(lanl2dz+6-31g) and hf/ (lanl2dz+6-31g (d)) levels in gas phase and solution. in this study acompartion between optimized structures of pyrazole molecule in aspect of thermodynamicparameters such as enthalpy (h°), gibbs free energy (g°) and entropy (s°) in presence of metallic ion(fe2+), was perfor...

nanocrystalline complex oxides have been synthesized by combination of sol–gel auto combustion and ultrasonic irradiation techniques using copper nitrate, zinc nitrate as metallic nitrates and glycine, urea and thiourea as fuels. sol-gel combustion (combination of the chemical sol–gel process and the combustion process) as a proper synthesized technique is used to synthesize zno/cuo nanocomposi...

Homo-metallic metal alkynyl complexes exhibit interesting catenane structures, but their hetero-metallic catenane counterparts are under-developed. In this work, we report rare examples of bimetallic Au–Cu (DtbpC^C ligand; Dtbp 1⁄4 3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl), Au–Ag (BuC^C ligand), and Au–Cu, Au–Ag (C6FluoC^C ligand; C6-Fluo 1⁄4 9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl) complexes as well as a trimetallic Au–Ag...
