The purpose of this presentation is to outline the Museum Multimedia (MM) experience in Russia. I am quite not sure wether all my colleagues experts and museum community in West Europe and America are intimately familiar with Russian experience in this sphere and I am pleased to have this opportunity to fill the gap. I will mainly focus on the general picture for some more reports with detailed...

Metasurfaces with sub-wavelength nanoscale features have emerged as a platform to achieve desirable electromagnetic responses. However, it remains technically challenging fabricate metasurfaces in large size and at low cost for mass production. This work demonstrates 200 mm wafer-scale Al:ZnO metasurface coating based on deep-UV lithography. The are targeted infrared (IR) reflectivity emissivit...

PURPOSE This work provides a quantitative assessment of the positional tracking accuracy of the NDI Wave Speech Research System. METHOD Three experiments were completed: (a) static rigid-body tracking across different locations in the electromagnetic field volume, (b) dynamic rigid-body tracking across different locations within the electromagnetic field volume, and (c) human jaw-movement tra...

OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to compare the biomechanical stability of the Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) (with 200 mm, 240 mm and 280 mm-long main nails) for the management of unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures. METHODS Tronzo-Evans Type IV and V fractures were built by applying a three-dimensional finite element model. Further, PFNA-II with 200 mm, 240 mm and 280 ...

In order to evaluate the effects of seed priming with salicylic acid (SA) (0, 2, 10, and 20 mM) to increase salt tolerance (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mM NaCl) in medicinal plant Dracocephalum moldavica at seed germination, an experiment was conducted as factorial in a completely randomized design with four replicates. The assessed parameters included germination percentage and rate, len...

OBJECTIVE To look for correlations between radiological patterns and CD4+ T cell counts in patients coinfected with tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus. METHODS Patients included were selected from among those presenting human immunodeficiency virus/tuberculosis coinfection and admitted to the Nereu Ramos Hospital, located in Florianópolis, Brazil, between January of 2000 and Decemb...

The mechanism behind previously observed changes in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) during brain activation is not well understood. Therefore, we investigated the signal source and spatial specificity of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) ADC changes systematically in the visual cortex of cats using diffusion-weighted (DW) spin-echo (SE) fMRI with b-values of 2, 200, and 800 ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical lesions of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome patients in the oral cavity, head and neck region and to determine their associations with level of immune suppression as measured by the CD4+ count. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a descriptive cross-sectional study, 50 patients with a proven HIV infection...

In this paper, the effect of using CaMg(CO3)2/Ethylene Glycol-water (50:50%) as a working fluid on thermal performance thermosyphon heat pipe was experimentally studied. Nanofluid prepared by two-step method 2% concentration CaMg(CO3)2 nanoparticle and 0.05% surfactant (Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate). For experimental set-up, straight copper one-meter length used. The inner diameter is 13 mm,...
