I calculate the quantum states for He atom in the potential of an external groove of the single wall carbon nanotube bundle. The calculated ground state energy is found to be in fair agreement with the experimental estimate which suggests that the outer groove site is a preferential site for the adsorption of He gas in the samples studied experimentally. I also calculate the specific heat of lo...

conclusions in most cases, the conus artery can be visualized in cardiac ct. a description of the conus artery should be a part of the standard clinical coronary ct angiography description. objectives to examine whether it is possible to visualize the conus artery in multi-slice computed tomography (ct). patients and methods in 79 consecutive patients (aged 56 ± 12.9 years; 13 women), 64-slice ...

in this study, generation of the transient evoked ooacoustic emissions in human ear has been simulated using a new electroacoustic model. the method of state variables was adopted to calculate the auditory model, and numerical integration methods have been used to solve differential equations in matlab. simulation results have been compared with the real data. in this study, latency curves, fre...

BACKGROUND Apart from transepicondylar axis, the native femoral sulcus was also reported to be used as a guide for the femoral component position in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, it was not shown in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis. This study was conducted to compare the position of trochlear groove in patients with and without osteoarthritis, and to assess whether trochlear ...

Adsorption of monovalent and multivalent cat-and anions on a deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) molecule from a salt solution is investigated by computer simulation. The ions are modelled as charged hard spheres, the DNA molecule as a point charge pattern following the double-helical phosphate strands. The geometrical shape of the DNA molecules is modelled on different levels ranging from a simple ...

Introduction: Using computed tomography (CT) is increasing significantly in Iran and worldwide. Reduction of CT's radiation dose is a critical concern. The aim of this study was evaluating the effect of localizer kVp on spiral CT images when the tube current modulation (TCM) is activated. Materials and Methods: A special wedding cake phantom with circular in...

Groove pancreatitis is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis that affects the groove anatomical area between the head of the pancreas, duodenum, and common bile duct. We provide a summary of the clinical findings of 4 groove pancreatitis cases diagnosed at a tertiary academic medical center over a 5-year period. A detailed review of the current literature surrounding this clinical entity is also ...

Groove specificity. Pyrrole-imidazole polyamides are well-known for their specific interactions with the minor groove of DNA. Here we demonstrate that polyamides do not similarly bind duplex RNA, and offer a structural rationale for the molecular-level discrimination of nucleic acid duplexes by minor groove binding ligands.

This article is a case report of the successful interdisciplinary management of a maxillary lateral incisor with a deep palatogingival groove. The tooth presented with severe periodontal destruction owing to the deep extension of the groove up to the root apex. The groove was meticulously diagnosed and treated by endodontic and subsequent periodontal surgery leading to complete resolution of th...

The major-groove BINOL-amino alcohol (S)-6 shows greatly enhanced fluorescence over the minor-groove one (S)-3. The study of a series of the major-groove BINOL-amino alcohol compounds demonstrates that the commonly accepted acid inhibition of the PET fluorescence quenching of aryl-amine compounds is not involved in the BINOL-amine sensors.
