background there is an interest in finding new and safe antioxidants from natural sources such as medicinal plants. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of ten iranian medicinal plants extracts. materials and methods for antioxidant activity, the radical scavenging activity, reducing power and phenolic contents of ethanol plant extracts were determined. gall...

in this paper, the output power behavior of the wave-guide cw-co2 laser versus efficient parameters of laser performance was investigated. the output power variation versus the discharge current, the pressure and the gas mixture ratio was studied and optimized. the maximum output powers of 6 and 14.5 w were respectively obtained at operating pressures 78 and 50 mbar in two tubes of 3 mm same di...

Renewable energy facilities will constitute a major contribution to electrical power in the future. The wind turbine will, together with biomass, form the major renewables parts up to year 2030 including erection of offshore wind farms. The wind is a non-storable energy source, whose electric energy needs priming into interchangeable energy to be competitive for large-scale power generation. An...

Background and Objectives: In this paper, a new design strategy was proposed in order to enhance bandwidth and efficiency of power amplifier. Methods: To realize the introduced design strategy, a power amplifier was designed using TSMC CMOS 0.18um technology for operating in the Ka band, i.e. the frequency range of 26.5-40GHz. To design the power amplifier, first a power divider (PD) with a ver...

With regard to the importance of scientific decision-making in power plants prioritization to produce electrical energy (power) from renewable energies (purified), in this paper, research with specialists opinions with respond to questionnaires provided upon three efficient operational criterion in position of three presented power plant in country which used wind, solar water energies for prod...

PURPOSE To assess the effects of manipulating the loading of successive sets of midthigh clean pulls on the potentiation capabilities of 7 international-level US weightlifters (4 men, 3 women). METHODS Isometric and dynamic peak-force characteristics were measured with a force plate at 500 Hz. Velocity during dynamic pulls was measured using 2 potentiometers that were suspended from the top o...

due to the increasing cost and environmental impacts of fossil fuel consumption, using the renewable energies in data center has become an important and essential priority. although using renewable energies has less environmental harmful effects, but the high investment needed for their installations as well as their fluctuating power production characteristic, restricts their usage such that m...

purpose: to determine corneal power for intraocular lens (iol) power calculation in eyes with previous keratorefractive surgery. methods: in 13 eyes of 9 patients with previous keratorefractive surgery undergoing phacoemulcification, iol power was calculated using the clinical history method (chm) in one case, manual keratometry (mkr) in 2, simk in 3, and flattest k (topographically derived) in...

shiffman rightly raises questions about who exercises power in global health, suggesting power is a complex concept, and the way it is exercised is often opaque. power that is not based on financial strength but on knowledge or experience, is difficult to estimate, and yet it may provide the legitimacy to make moral claims on what is, or ought to be, on global health agendas. twenty years ago p...
