background: the human body contains of different tissues and cavities with different physical and radiological properties. most important among these are tissues and cavities that are radiologically different from water, including lungs, sinuses and bones. gel dosimetry provides a unique feature to display dose distributions occurring in clinical radiation therapy in three dimensions. materials...

high purity fluorapatite (fa) with rod-like and spherical-like morphology was synthesized via sol-gel method. chemical characterization of fa powders was done by xrd and ftir analyses. crystallite samples were calculated using scherer method. morphology of fa powders was investigated with tem and sem images. the results revealed that increasing the time of hydrolysis of phosphate sols significa...

in the baking industry, use of hydrocolloid technology to improve the operation and to increase the tolerance to paste fermentation conditions, improve quality and increase the shelf life of fresh as well as stored bread, is of large applications. this research was carried out to evaluate the effects of gel of sodium alginate on rheological properties of dough and quality (volume, specific volu...

Sol-gel and polymeric membrane electrodes, based on thiacalix[4]arene as a neutral carrier, weresuccessfully developed for the detection of VO2+ in aqueous solutions. The sol-gel and PVCmembrane electrodes exhibited linear response with Nernstian slopes of 29.3 and 28.4 mV perdecade, respectively, within the vanadyl ion concentration ranges from 1.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1mol dm-3 and from 1.0 × 1...

objective: tooth surface undergoes continuous remineralization and demineralization. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of caseinphosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (cpp-acp) paste and fluoride gel on the microhardness of demineralized enamel lesions.   methods: frothy eight specimens of premolar teeth were chosen and randomly divided to 4 groups of 12. after the initial mea...

introduction: phonophoresis is the use of ultrasound to enhancing cellular drug delivery through the skin. in this study the effect of clobethasole and hydrocortisone ointments phonophoresis on pain, knee osteoarthritis and some other symptoms was studied. methods: an experimental single blind randomized clinical trial (rct) was used. an available sampling technique was used for selection of pa...

We developed a new approach to prepare DNA probes for electrophoretic mobility gel shift assays that presents a number of advantages compared with the classical approach. The method relies on two complementary oligonucleotides containing the desired transcription factor binding sequence, one of them being extended at its 3' end with a universal tail that complements a third, short oligonucleoti...

Time-table problem is a classical NP-complete problem. Algorithm of DNA computing for timetable problem was obtained with introducing the technology of Acrydite gel separation. Each class period viewed as a graph vertex was mapped into DNA molecules chain. With the probe coding, the gel column was constructed to arrange the order of DNA chain through biological reaction. The problem was solved ...

Abstract Bacterial conjunctivitis characterized as pink eye referred as an inflammation of an eye caused by the enlargement of blood vessels present in conjunctiva, resulting in a red or bloodshot appearance of the eyes. Topical ocular delivery is found to be useful in treating conjunctivitis, but to maintain an effective drug concentration at a site of action in order to achieve desired pha...

Alumina gels were prepared by the sol–gel method using alumatrane or tris(alumatranyloxy-i-propyl)amine as precursor synthesised directly from the reaction of inexpensive and readily available compounds, aluminium hydroxide and triisopropanolamine (TIS), via the one step process. Sol–gel process parameters, such as gel time, were correlated to variables of the initial stage of the process, such...
