Silane-based plasmas are widely used to deposit nanostructured silicon thin films or to synthesize silicon nanoparticles. Dust particle formation in Ar/SiH4 plasmas is a continuous phenomenon: as long as silane precursors are provided, new dust generations are formed. Successive generations can be monitored thanks to various electrical (Vdc/3H) and optical (OES, video imaging) diagnostics. Expe...

D oes your paediatrician have difficulty concentrating during lectures, particularly those on molecular biology and healthcare planning? When taking a history, does your paediatrician not listen properly and keep asking the same questions? Is your paediatrician too busy to spend any time with his or her own children? These are all signs of ADHD(P), a newly described phenotype of attention defic...

^ ^ many cases it appears that this may be largely due to ^act that the nature of the decomposition which a compound <wer?oes within the organism may differ essentially from its ^c?mposition in. vitro, and this makes it difficult to predict in aC^0n anY new drug until its products of decomposition pre^0 ^ave been ascertained. With the knowledge at be Sen^ available it is quite obvious that it c...

In this data article, we measured the levels of copper in the blood of patients undergoing coronary angiography. The samples were taken from patients with cardiovascular disease in Bushehr׳s university hospital, Iran. Patients were divided in two groups: normal angiography and abnormal angiography. After the chemical digestion of samples, the concentration levels of Cu in both groups were deter...

An outstanding mystery of charmonium physics is why the J/q decays prominently to pseudoscalar plus vector meson channels, such as J/ll, -+ pr and J/G + K*K, whereas the @‘(as) d oes not. We show that such decays of J/$ and their suppression for $+(2S) f 11 o ow naturally from the existence of intrinsic charm 1 ijq EC) Fock components of the light vector mesons.

The Agilent OneNeb nebulizer is a novel nebulizer design that offers superior performance compared to other commercially available concentric nebulizers used with ICP-OES instruments. This universal nebulizer provides improved sensitivity, greater tolerance to dissolved salts, and is inert so it is suitable for use with strong acids such as hydrofl uoric acid (HF) and most common organic solven...

A new, simple, rapid, sensitive and selective spectrophotometric kinetic method for Ag(I) traces determination at room temperature was elaborated in this paper. It is based on catalytic effect of silver ions upon the oxidation of methylene blue B (MBB) by K2S2O8 (PPS) in citric buffer (BUF) solution. The method was confirmed by determination of Ag(I) in PbO. The obtained results were compared t...

The present study investigates the effect of transcranial sinusoidal stimulation (tACS with positive offset in this article defined s so-tCS) on electroencephalogram (EEG) parameters and cognitive performance in healthy participants. It turned out that so-tCS oes not have any strong effect on cognitive performance but so-tCS increases EEG power in slow oscillations at electrode position z. Sele...
