Multiwalled carbon nanotubes have been synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition of ethylene, using two different catalysts in order to obtain nanotubes with average diameters of 24 and 58 nm, and different lengths. Polyamide 6 (PA6) was reinforced by melt-mixing in an extruder with 2 wt% functionalized and unfunctionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The nanocomposites were characterized...

Climate change is a major issue that very interesting to discuss. believed be caused by the greenhouse gas effect. CO2 one of gases causes Therefore, avoid dangers climate change, reducing emissions main topic in various articles. In this article, emission mitigation analyzed sea water desalination plant using reverse electrodialysis power generation. Reverse does not produce which converts ene...

introduction: seizures are symptoms associated with abnormal electrical activity in electroencephalogram (eeg). the present study was designed to determine the effect of absence seizure on heart rate (hr) changes in electrocardiogram (ecg). methods: hr alterations were recorded simultaneous with spike and wave discharges (swd) by eeg in 6 wag/rij rats as a well characterized and validated genet...

The quality of information extracted from the vibration signals, and accuracy bearing status detection depend on methods used to process signal select informative features. In this paper, a new hybrid approach is introduced in which relatively swarm decomposition (SWD) method optimized compensation distance evaluation technique (OCDET) are enhance processing stage improve optimal features selec...

Breast cancer is the most common type of female cancer. Tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, is widely used to decrease breast cancer recurrence and mortality among patients. However, it also increases the risk of endometrial cancer. This study aimed to assess knowledge and decisional conflict regarding tamoxifen use. Between June and October 2014, breast cancer patients using ta...

Inhibitory connections between neurons of the thalamic reticular (RE) nucleus are thought to help prevent spike-wave discharge (SWD), characteristic of generalized absence epilepsy, in thalamic and thalamocortical circuits. Indeed, oscillations in thalamic slices resemble SWD when intra-RE inhibition is blocked and are suppressed when intra-RE inhibition is enhanced. To elucidate the cellular m...

Genetic analysis of pancreatic development has provided new insights into the mechanisms underlying the formation of exocrine pancreatic neoplasia. Zebrafish sweetbread (swd) mutants develop hypoplastic acini and dysmorphic ducts in the exocrine pancreas, with impeded progression of cell division cycle and of epithelial growth. Positional cloning and allelic complementation have revealed that t...

32 The contribution of the zona incerta (ZI) of the thalamus upon spike-wave discharges (SWDs) 33 was investigated. Chronic recordings of bilateral cortices, bilateral vibrissa muscle and unilateral ZI 34 were performed in Long-Evans rats in order to examine the functional role of SWDs. Rhythmic ZI 35 activity appeared at the beginning of SWD and accompanied by higher-oscillation frequencies an...

ABSTRACT Invasion of forest ecosystems by non‐native invasive insect pests (NNIIPs) can alter native animal and plant communities disrupting species interactions. However, little is known about how fruit‐targeting NNIIPs may ecosystems. Recently introduced to the western United States, spotted wing Drosophila ( suzukii ; SWD) a parasite soft‐skinned fruits. The ability SWD parasitize still‐ripe...
