In this work structural defects were created in P25-TiO2 nanoparticles by using hydrogen DC plasma treatment in different temperatures and exposure times. X-Ray diffraction measurements show that the structure of TiO2 remains unchanged after hydrogenation. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy measurements demonstrated band gap of TiO2 was not changed considerably by the hydrogenation. However, by a...

it has been recently shown that manufacturing p-n-junctions, field-effect and bipolar transistors, thyristors in a multilayer structure by diffusion or ion implantation with the optimization of dopant and/or radiation defects leads to increase the sharpness of p-n-junctions (both single p-n-junctions and p-n-junctions framework their system). due to the optimization, one can also obtain increas...

abstract background and aim: cone beam computed tomography (cbct) produces high-quality data in periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning. the aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of cbct with intraoral digital and conventional radiography in the measurement of periodontal bone defects.  methods and materials: in this diagnostic research, two hundred and eighteen artificial osseous ...

background and aims: primary infections of rubella and human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) can lead to severe complications in pregnancy. the screening of rubella and hcmv in pregnant women is not routinely carried out in iran. this cross sectional study aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of hcmv and rubella infections in neonates with and without congenital defects. materials and methods: this s...

sulfur mustard (sm) has been used as a chemical warfare agent, in the world war i and more recently during iraq-iran war in early 1980s’. its biological poisoning effect could be local or systemic and its effect depends on environmental conditions, exposed organs, and the extent and duration of exposure. it is considered as a strong alkylating agent with known mutagenic, carcinogenic effects; a...

background and aims. connective tissue grafts with and without periosteum is used in regenerative treatments of bone and has demonstrated successful outcomes in previous investigations. the aim of present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of connective tissue graft with and without periosteum in regeneration of intrabony defects. materials and methods. in this single-blind randomized spli...

background: the aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of adipose derived stem cells on bone repair in through and through mandibular bone defects of canine. materials and methods: in this prospective comparative study, adipose-derived stem cells were isolated from subcutaneous fat of lateral thoracic area of 4 dogs. the isolated cells were cultured and expanded through 3 passages. the...
