Nickel oxide thin films have been widely studied as an optical active layer in electrochromic devices. It is well known for these films that thermal treatment is the key factor which determines the electrochromic effect during potential cycling. Therefore, it is extremely important to perform thermal analysis on the thin films rather than on the corresponding xerogels. In this article, the ther...

introduction: bite wing radiographs are indicated in children with closed posterior contacts. given the fact that nowadays bitewing radiographs are taken using both paper loop and film holder, the aim of this study is the evaluation of acceptance and diagnostic quality of two methods. materials and methods: this study is a sort of diagnostic accuracy test that was performed on 20 6-8 year old c...

Diclofenac sodium as ophthalmic dosage form is used in patients treatment of eye pain, swelling and redness recovering from cataract surgery but it faces the bioavailability limitation of eye drops due to effective protective mechanisms and corneal barrier functions in the eyes. Therefore, this investigation was aimed to develop ocular film formulations to achieve controlled drug release. Drug ...

BACKGROUND The potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli, is a vector of Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum, causing several diseases in solanaceous crops. Laboratory and field no-choice and choice experiments were conducted to evaluate the repellency of kaolin particle film on adults of B. cockerelli on tomato plants that had been sprayed with kaolin particle film on the upper surface only, on ...

In this study, the effects of fluorine treatment on surface properties, surface free energies, and dielectric constants of polyimide thin films were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, contact angles, and dielectric characteristics, respectively. The glass transition temperature of fluorinated polyimide film gradually decreases with increasing fluorine pressure. The surface free ene...
