The structures of the first two complexes with bidentate coordination aminoguanidine Schiff base, i.e., 2-acetylpyridine-aminoguanidine (L), are reported. complex formula [Cd2Cl6(HL)2] (1) was obtained in reaction warm aqueous solutions chloride salts Cd(II), Zn(II) and ligand, while cadmium bromide ligand presence deprotonating agent as well ammonium thiocyanate resulted formation which base h...

Abstract Recent studies showed that the transverse feedback system noise floor in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) must be reduced by at least factor of two order to operate machine with large beam-beam tune shift as foreseen High Luminosity (HL) LHC. Also, future suppress LHC Crab Cavity relies on improved performance beam position measurement system. An upgrade program was launched lower during Lo...

With the globalization of the integrated circuit (IC) design flow of chip fabrication, intellectual property (IP) piracy is becoming the main security threat. While most of the protection methods are dedicated for digital circuits, we are trying to protect radio-frequency (RF) designs. For the first time, we applied the split manufacturing method in RF circuit protection. Three different implem...

A new method for designing radiofrequency (RF) pulses with numerical optimization in the wavelet domain is presented. Numerical optimization may yield solutions that might otherwise have not been discovered with analytic techniques alone. Further, processing in the wavelet domain reduces the number of unknowns through compression properties inherent in wavelet transforms, providing a more tract...

BACKGROUND Health literacy (HL) has gained increasing attention in public health research. However, until now research was mainly focused on clinical settings rather than on the general population. Due its relation to social determinants and health outcomes, HL is of special interest in epidemiological studies. The aim of the present study was therefore to describe HL among an elderly general h...

Hepatic lipase (HL) is thought to be located at the vascular endothelium in the liver. However, it has also been implicated in the binding and internalization of chylomicron remnants in the parenchymal cells. In view of this apparent discrepancy between localization and function, we re-investigated the localization of HL in rat liver using biochemical and immunohistochemical techniques. The bin...

A sensitive, selective, precise and stability indicating a high-performance thin layer chromatographic method for the analysis of rufinamide (Rf) in bulk drug and its formulations was developed and validated. The method employed thin layer chromatography aluminum plates precoated with silica gel 60 F254 as the stationary phase. The solvent system consisted of chloroform : methanol : glacial ace...

OBJECTIVE To assess the additional diagnostic and clinical value of the second test generation of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (CCP2) compared with rheumatoid factor isotypes (IgG-RF, IgA-RF, IgM-RF) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS This was a prospective study on 715 patients: rheumatoid arthritis (n = 295), degenerative or other inflammatory joint disease (n = ...

Objective(s):Several studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of various nanoparticles exposed to radiofrequency (RF) waves on cancerous tissues. In this study, a colon carcinoma tumor model was irradiated by RF in the presence of gold-gold sulfide (GGS) nanoshells. Materials and Methods: Synthesis and characterization of GGS nanoshells were initially performed. CT26 cells were ...

In the past two decades public interest in herbal products has increased significantly in Europe, especially in the plant-based products from non-European traditions. Eleutherococcus senticosus has been used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, anemia, and rheumatoid arthritis. The Eleutherococcus senticosus fruits intractum was examined for the content of phenolic acids (LC-ESI-MS/MS), ...
