Optical methods (interferometry, UV, FTIR and IR spectroscopy) were used to study erythrocyte deformation occurring under the action of adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones give rise to mechanical stresses (contraction) on erythrocytes ghosts, which show up as an increased structural orderliness of membrane proteins, in particular, of the protein domains belonging to contraction and integral...

chamomile serves as one of the most important medicinal plants. the most known secondary metabolites in chamomile species are volatile oils of triponoides, poly stilens, flavonoids and phenolic cafeic acid (krori). these metabolites have wide variety of applications thanks to having medicinal properties of anti-inflammation, antispasmodic and bactericide activity. also it is used to cure liver ...

In this paper energy bands and Berry curvature of graphene was studied. Desired Hamiltonian regarding the next-nearest neighbors obtained by tight binding model. By using the second quantization approach, the transformation matrix is calculated and the Hamiltonian of system is diagonalized. With this Hamiltonian, the band structure and wave function can be calculated. By using calculated wave f...
