objective(s) physiological changes in the body may be utilized as potential triggers for controlled drug delivery. based on these mechanisms, stimulus-responsive drug delivery has been developed. materials and methods in this study, a kind of poly (n-isopropylacrylamide-acrylamide) membrane was prepared by radical copolymerization. changes in swelling ratios and diameters of the membrane were i...

In this article, a novel concept is introduced to improve the radio frequency (RF) linearity of partially-depleted (PD) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFET circuits. The transition due to the non-zero body resistance (RBody) in output conductance of PD SOI devices leads to linearity degradation. A relation for RBody is defined to eliminate the transition and a method to obtain transition-free c...

in this work, one and two-dimensional lattices are studied theoretically by a statistical mechanical approach. the nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions are both taken into account, and the approximate thermodynamic properties of the lattices are calculated. the results of our calculations show that: (1) even though the next-nearest neighbor interaction may have an insignificant effect...

 Co-feeding of fish larvae with live food and formulated diet has been at the focus of fish nutritionists since last decade. In this study we tried to refine the feeding practices of great beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) larvae using different combinations of newly hatched Artemia urmiana nauplii and trout starter diet. Three replicate groups (250 fish/replicate) of first-feeding Huso huso larvae w...

The one-third paradigm of PBE0 density functional, PBE0-1/3, has shown to be a successful method for various properties. In this paper, the applicability of PBE0-1/3 is put into broader perspective for transition metals chemistry. As a comparative study, the performance of PBE0 and PBE0-1/3 has been assessed for geometries and vibrational frequencies of some transition metal hydrides and transi...

transition-metal-substituted  (tms)  polyoxometalates  of  the  general  formula  [siw9m3o39], (where m = first row transition metal), has been synthesized and supported on anatase by sol–gel method under oil-bath condition. the tetrabutylammonium (tba) salts of the keggin-type polyoxotungstates  [siw9m3o39],  (m = vii, crii, mnii,  feii coii  and niii),  proved  to  be  green, reusable,  and  ...

abstract the spontaneous emission spectrum from a driven three-level atom placed inside a double-band photonic crystal has been investigated. we use the model which assumes the upper levels of the atomic transition are coupled via a classical driving field. the transition from one of the upper levels to lower level couples to the modes of the modified reservoir, and the transition from the othe...
