The behavior of the crystal structure zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-75 under pressure was studied by means periodic density functional theory methods. Experimentally, it shown that this material is tetragonal, space group I41/a at room temperature. However, according to calculations, zero temperature monoclinic, C2/c. Irrespective symmetry material, results show exhibits a negative linear ...

Laser speckle can influence lidar measurements from a diffuse hard target. Atmospheric optical turbulence will also affect the lidar return signal. We present a numerical simulation that models the propagation of a lidar beam and accounts for both reflective speckle and atmospheric turbulence effects. Our simulation is based on implementing a Huygens-Fresnel approximation to laser propagation. ...

in this experimental work the pressure induced phase transformation of silicon and germaniumhas been studied. it was shown that at a particular value of applied pressure, (pt), depending on the sampletemperature, the electrical resistance of the specimen falls off to a metallic state. the main goal of this studywas to find out how the phase transformation pressure, pt, for a p-type silicon vari...

purpose: to determine the effect of induced myopia and hyperopia using soft contact lenses on optic disc parameters measured by fourier domain optical coherence tomography (fd-oct) in emmetropic persons. methods: in a quasi-experimental self controlled study, 57 normal emmetropic participants 18-42 years of age were studied. each subject underwent a complete ophthalmic examinations including me...

it has been shown that nitric oxide is synthesized in the central nervous system as well as in vascular endothelial cells. recently, it was reported that nitric oxide was involved in central cardiovascular regulation, baroreflex modulation, and involved in a reciprocal release with excitatory amino acids in the nucleus tractus solitarii of rats. the purpose of the present study was to investiga...
