objective: the aim of the present study was to investigate the level of gingival over-growth (go) in patients with kidney transplant. materials and methods: the target group of the study was the patients recently received kidney transplant and cyclosporine-a therapy. by a systematic case selection method, a total of 131 cases were included in the study, of whom 80 (61.6%) patients were male. th...

This study investigated inhibitory function in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) by recording event-related brain potentials (ERPs) during a Go/NoGo task. Fourteen healthy volunteers and 13 patients with PD without dementia performed a cued continuous performance test that included Go and NoGo trials. The peak latency, amplitude, and topographic distributions of the ERPs to Go and NoGo sti...

Epoxy is a versatile resin used in different fields such as coatings, colors, colorants, and composites. Adding nano-scale fillers/additives to the epoxy has valued epoxy coatings for engineering applications, and opened the time of advanced epoxy-based nanocomposite coatings. In the present work, graphene oxide GO was chemically functionalized with starch, as a natural polymer, and added to th...

The thorough evaluation of global optimization algorithms and software demands devotion, time and (hardware) resources, in addition to professional objectivity. This general remark is particularly valid with respect to global optimization (GO) software since GO literally encompasses “all” mathematical programming models. It is easy not only to fabricate very challenging test problems, but also ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between knee pain and various indicators of the combined performance of the lower extremity (including gait parameters, functional performance such as timed up and go, and functional reach test) and to determine whether the classification of vertical ground reaction forces correlates with gait parameters and functional performance...

Graphene oxide (GO) thin films were simply deposited on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate via a low-voltage electrodeposition. The GO and GO thin films were characterized by Zeta Potential, X-ray diffraction, Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrosc...

We have developed a biologist-friendly, Java GUI application (GoBean) for GO term enrichment analysis. It was designed to be a comprehensive and flexible GUI tool for GO term enrichment analysis, combining the merits of other programs and incorporating extensive graphic exploration of enrichment results. An intuitive user interface with multiple panels allows for extensive visual scrutiny of an...

Abstract In this study, the bioactivity and mechanical properties (Mechanical compressive strength, Hardness, density) of bioglass (BG) bioglass/graphene oxide (BG/GO) were investigated. Bioglass in chemical composition [60SiO2_35CaO_5P2O5] was prepared via sol–gel method. GO added to with different contents (0.5, 1, 2, 3) wt.% named as 0.5%GO, 1%GO, 2%GO, 3%GO samples respectively. The synthes...
