hyperdiamonds are covalently bonded fullerenes in crystalline forms, more or less related todiamond, and having a significant amount of sp3 carbon atoms. design of severalhypothetical crystal networks was performed by using our original software programscvnet and nano-studio. the topology of the networks is described in terms of the netparameters and several counting polynomials, calculated by ...

the atom-bond connectivity index of graph is a topological index proposed by estrada et al.as abc (g)  uve (g ) (du dv  2) / dudv , where the summation goes over all edges ofg, du and dv are the degrees of the terminal vertices u and v of edge uv. in the present paper,some upper bounds for the second type of atom-bond connectivity index are computed.

cauliflower-like nanostructure of cadmium oxide was synthesized by utilizing mechanochemical reaction followed calcination procedure for the first time. the design of experiment (doe) by taguchi method was used to study influence of the chosen factors and to consider optimum conditions of the experiments. the temperature of calcining, the duration of milling, the duration of calcining and react...

in this paper, the time-like hyperruled surfaces in the minkowski 4-space and their algebraicinvariants are worked. also some characteristic results are found about these algebraic invariants.

the histone-like protein hu is the most-abundant dna-binding protein in bacteria. the hu protein non-specifically binds and bends dna as a hetero- or homodimer, and can participate in dna supercoiling and dna condensation. it also takes part in dna functions such as replication, recombination, and repair. hu does not recognize any specific sequences but shows a certain degree of specificity to ...

conclusions our results suggest that human exposure to mcpyv occurs throughout life. the mcpyv antibody levels remained high among older adults in our population, consistent with reports from other populations. patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, we collected 440 serum samples from healthy individuals 2 to 78 years of age who visited the pasteur institute’s clinic in tehran, ira...

background: recently, reports have indicated a role for the membrane form of toll-like receptor 2 (tlr2) in asthma pathogenesis. in this study we examined soluble tlr2 levels in serum and sputum of asthmatic and healthy subjects. methods: serum and sputum samples were obtained from 33 asthmatic and 19 healthy subjects. the asthmatics were classified into four groups according to the global init...

objective: rosa damascena mill l (r. damascena) is an ornamental plant that has several therapeutic (such as sedative and hypnotic) effects. it also heals depression, grief, nervous stress and tension. in the present study we evaluated antidepressant-like effect of r. damascena using forced swimming test (fst). material and methods: three doses of aqueous extract (15, 60 and 90 mg/kg) was injec...

objective: argemone mexicana is a papaveracea plant; some reports have shown their antibacterial, anti-cancer, sedative and probably anti-anxiety properties. from their aerial parts, flavonoids and alkaloids have been isolated, which are intrinsically related to some actions on the central nervous system. the aim of this study was to evaluate the anxiolytic-like effects of the plant, using its ...
