A highly sensitive short-wave infrared (SWIR, ? > 1000 nm) organic photodiode (OPD) is described based on a well-organized nanocrystalline bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) active layer composed of dicyanovinyl-functionalized squaraine dye (SQ-H) donor material in combination with PC61BM. Through thermal annealing, dipolar SQ-H chromophores self-assemble nanoscale structure intermolecular charge transf...

The requirement for energy is ever increasing in the past few years due to need innovation of clean and eco-friendly technologies. Symmetric asymmetric SQ-dyes have received attention great potential use as SQ-sensitizers application dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC).This review article gives a synopsis advancements on domain DSSC chance used enhance their overall conversion efficiency. Specifi...

Beginning in 1974, patients undergoing mastectomy at high risk for recurrence (greater than or equal to 4 nodes positive; median, 9.4 positive; range, 4 to 28) were randomized after stratification for menopausal status and radiotherapy to receive either 5-fluorouracil (5-FU, 500 mg/sq m i.v. every week) or cyclophosphamide, 400 mg/sq m; methotrexate, 30 mg/sq m; and 5-FU, 500 mg/sq m (CMF; all ...

forests of iran located on the southern border of the caspian sea cover 1.9 million hectares. the caspian forests are divided into four separate forestry areas. one of these being guilan influx area with total area of 565000 hectares. about 30 to 40 percent of guilan province forests are suitable to short rotation forestry for afforestation. slash pine (pinus elliottii) is one of the main exoti...

Optical activity of hierarchical supramolecular assemblies based on organic dyes would create multiple functional architectures. In this work, three kinds of silica nanoparticles with or without functional groups were synthesized. For the first time, silica nanoparticles can induce positively charged squaraine (SQ) to aggregate to form supramolecular assemblies. Adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) ...

Biophysical modeling studies have suggested that neurons with active dendrites can be viewed as linear units augmented by product terms that arise from interactions between synaptic inputs within the same dendritic subregions. However, the degree to which local nonlinear synaptic interactions could augment the memory capacity of a neuron is not known in a quantitative sense. To approach this qu...

Objectives: Early maladaptive schemas are valid representations of unpleasant childhood experiences that shape a person’s viewpoints of the world, and lead to clinical symptoms such as depression, personality disorders, and substance abuse. Given the importance of this matter, we conducted a research on early maladaptive schemas in substance-abusers, to allow more appropriate preventive m...
