Metals are commonly used in plasmonic devices because of their strong property. However, such properties not easily tuned. For applications as spatial light modulators and beam steering, tunable essential, neither metals nor other materials possess truly properties. In this work, we show that the silver alloy silver–ytterbium (Ag-Yb) possesses properties; its response strength can be adjusted a...

The increasing use of silver (Ag) nanoparticles [containing either elemental Ag (Ag-NPs) or AgCl (AgCl-NPs)] in commercial products such as textiles will most likely result in these materials reaching wastewater treatment plants. Previous studies indicate that a conversion of Ag-NPs to Ag2S is to be expected during wastewater transport/treatment. However, the influence of surface functionality,...

In the present study, the chromosomes numbers were confirmed, 2n = 34 for Amaranthus cruentus Linnaeus, 1759, and 2n = 32 for Amaranthus hypochondriacus Linnaeus, 1753, Amaranthus mantegazzianus Passer, 1864, and Amaranthus caudatus Linnaeus, 1753. The distribution and variability of constitutive heterochromatin were detailed using DAPI-CMA3 banding technique. The position of the nucleolus orga...

Preproghrelin is a prohormone producing several preproghrelin-derived peptides with structural and functional heterogeneity: acyl ghrelin (AG), desacyl ghrelin (DAG), and obestatin. The absence of selective and reliable assays to measure these peptides simultaneously in biological samples has been a limitation to assess their real proportions in tissues and plasma in physiological and pathologi...

conclusions the study results indicated that the neonatal hbv immunization induced a long-term protection against hbv and was very efficacious in reducing chronic hbv infection rate in vaccinated young adults in iran. results anti-hbs seropositivity rate was detected in 224 of 510 [95% ci: 39-47] young adults. breakthrough infection (positive sera for anti-hbc without chronic infection) was obs...
