hepatitis b virus (hbv) is the most prevalent viral infection and is among the leading causes of human liver diseases. nearly 360 millions of people are world widely infected with prolonged forms of hepatitis b including active and inactive chronic forms. chronic hepatitis b (chb) is associated with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) in patients suffering from congenital and/or acquir...

a facile and simple method was proposed to control the size and shape of the mgo nano structures with high surface area in the presence of efficient and cheap templates like peg 200, peg 600, peg 4000 and sorbitol at low temperature within a little time. nano rods and nanoparticles have been achieved by applying these templates and altering other growth parameters. the products were characteriz...

in the past decade, magnetic nanomaterials have attracted much attention due to their physical properties and technological applications. in this work, α-fe2o3 nanoparticles were first synthesized via a simple co-precipitation method using iron chloride hexahydrate (fecl3.6h2o) as precursor and ammonia solution as precipitator. the samples were then characterized by high resolution transmission...

cobalt chromite (cocr2o4) with normal spinel structure, shows catalytic activity for oxidation of unburned methane in the natural gas vehilcles (ngv). in this study, cocr2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized through a conventional co-precipitation technique and investigated for the catalytic combustion of methane. cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, chromium nitrate nonahydrate and ammonia solution (25%) ...

a facile co-precipitation method for the synthesis of well-dispersed ndfeo3 nanocrystals is developed in the presence of octanoic acid as surfactant. co-precipitation can produce fine, high-purity, stoichiometric particles of single and multicomponent metal oxides. the product is characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microsc...

magnetic nanoparticles of cobalt-zinc ferrite (co0.5zn0.5fe2o4) have been synthesized in a homogeneous aqueous solution at room temperature by co-precipitation method without any template and subsequent heat treatment. synthesis of material is confirmed using xrd from the report of single phase polycrystalline ferrite material and also determined lattice constant. atomic absorption spectrophoto...

health can affects human abilities, functions and even his life quality, and hence has important role in determination of human capital through production processes. the aim of this study is to examine the effect of income inequality on selected health indices in iran during 1976-2007. in this study an attempt has been made to analyze the relationship between income inequality and the both of l...

the pellet-type sno2 sensor was synthesized by the solid state method and the effects of additives such as nano zno (1-12 mol %) and nano in2o3 (1-10 mol %) on the co gas sensitivity of sensor were investigated. the optimum sintering temperature was chosen 800°c because of the porosity content of the samples. the phase analysis and microstructure of the samples were studied by x-ray diffraction...

objective: this study presents a simple method for isolation, expansion and purification of neonatal mouse spermatogonial stem cells. methods: we used enzymatic digestion to isolate a cell suspension of spermatogonia and sertoli cells from neonatal 2-day-old mice. the cells were cultured in dmem/f12 that contained 10% serum for two weeks. sertoli and spermatogonia cell characteristics were conf...
