in this research, gold nanoparticles were synthesized and functionalized by the antibody of aflatoxins. the quenching of the fluorescence of excitation emission matrices (eem) of two type of aflatoxins (b1, g1), provoked by the gold nanoparticles, was studied by principal component analysis (pca) and multivariate curve resolution with alternating least squares (mcr-als). these aflatoxins show q...

background: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (bppv) is linked to vitamin d deficiency. this clinical trial aimed to determine the influence of vitamin d supplementation on intensity of bppv. methods: the study population was selected consecutively and the diagnosis of bppv was made by history and clinical examination and exclusion of other conditions. intensity of bpvv was assessed based on...

typically, two configurations are used for energy harvesting, with different advantages: piezoelastic and piezomagnetoelastic. best performance of piezoelastic configuration is limited to its narrow bandwidth around the resonance frequency. if the excitation frequency slightly deviates from the resonance frequency, the power-out is severely reduced. to overcome this, the piezomagnetoelastic has...

the sirri jacket offshore platform was designed and installed in persian gulf of iran in 1975 and has been in service since that time. the importance of offshore structure's stability and the failure of this kind of structure during an earthquake in different active zones revealed that earthquake loading has to be considered. in this paper, magnetorheological (mr) fluid dampers have been propos...

prediction using pure standards is expected to be biased whenever the slope of the calibration is affected by the presence of sample matrix. moreover, in the presence of unknown spectral interferents, first-order algorithms like partial least squares cannot be used. in this study, a method for determination of carvedilol (car) in tablet and urine samples is proposed by excitation-emission fluor...

large capacity cylindrical tanks are used to store a variety of liquids. their satisfactoryperformance during earthquake is crucial for modern facilities. in present paper, the behavior of cylindricalconcrete tanks under harmonic excitation is studied using the finite element method. liquid sloshing, liquidviscosity and wall flexibility are considered and additionally excitation frequency, liqu...

background and aim: vestibular migraine is a type of migraine that causes vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance in addition to typical migraine symptoms. in this study, we aimed to investigate vestibular system in these patients by videonystagmography (vng), electrocochleography (ecochg), and vestibular evoked myogenic potential (vemp) testing. methods: this empirical study was conducted on 10 pati...

Background: We have been performing a canalith repositioning procedure for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. When we adopted the Epley maneuver posterior semicircular canal type, and affected-ear-up 90° lateral noticed that no nystagmus occurred in sitting position just after treatment. Despite direct excitation to utricle by pathological debris, none of subjects complained dizziness. Thus,...

Axial distributions of plasma and floating potentials, electron number density and the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) have been measured in the double layer (DL) region of an He discharge constriction. Excitation processes in the constriction region are studied. Using a linearization method for the nonstationary balance equations and choosing appropriate discharge conditions, ...
