in this paper, surface and piezoelectric effects on the vibration behavior of nanowires (nws) are investigated by using a timoshenko beam model. the electric field equations and the governing equations of motion for the piezoelectric nws are derived with the consideration of surface effects. by the exact solution of the governing equations, an expression for the natural frequencies of nws with ...

statins are most effective pharmacologically agents to decrease total plasma cholesterol level by competitive inhibition of hmg-co a reductase. apart from the well-known ldl and cholesterol lowering effect, statins have been postulated to exert other beneficial effects also called pleotropic or non-lipid effects. better understanding of various pleotropic effects of statins has prompted a new s...

We describe a coherent undergraduate educational program in nanoscience and nanoengineering at the University of Rochester (UR) based on Institute Optics Integrated Nanosystems Center resources. This project has three main outcomes: (1) developing curriculum offering Certificate Nanoscience Nanoengineering (CNSNE); (2) creating an exemplary model collaboration nanotechnology between university ...

like many other developing countries pharmacoeconomics and outcome research and its applications in national health system is a new but promising filed in iran. although decision makers of iran national health system decided to use pharmacoeconomics in the decision making approach several hurdles including lack of reliable national data, lack of expertise and local experience are the main chall...
