zno nps (zinc oxide nanoparticles) has generated significant scientific interest as a novel antibacterial and anticancer agent. since oxidative stress is a critical determinant of zno nps-induced damage, it is necessary to characterize their underlying mode of action. different structural and physicochemical properties of zno nps such as particle surface, size, shape, crystal structure, chemica...

Previous studies demonstrated that CSE induces oxidative stress and its consequences on isolated mitochondria obtained from lung, heart and brain which may provide insight into the role of CSE in human health and disease. The present study was carried out to further characterize and compare toxic effect of CSE extract on isolated mitochondria obtained from either a directly contacting tissue (i...

in this paper, a new non-contact ultrasonic abrasive finishing mechanism is designed and fabricated. this mechanism combines the function of ultrasonic vibrations and the magnetic abrasive finishing (maf) process. a permanent magnet which is mounted on a horn has been used as the processing tool. this polishing tool is vibrated at an ultrasonic frequency with piezo-electric actuators. ultrasoni...

the structural slenderness ration (height/ with) is one of the title that can be discussed in quake design of building. but unfortunately, in  iranian code isn’t mention this mater.in this article, bending and bracying structures system are chosen with slenderness ratio 2 upto 6. (11, 17, 23, 29, 35 stage).all of structure are analysed and designed in linear method, then analysed in unlinear me...

Developments in selective laser melting (SLM) have enabled the fabrication of periodic cellular lattice structures characterized by suitable properties matching the bone tissue well and by fluid permeability from interconnected structures. These multifunctional performances are significantly affected by cell topology and constitutive properties of applied materials. In this respect, a diamond u...

Adrenal medullary chromaffin cells release catecholamines and neuropeptides in an activity-dependent manner controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. Under basal sympathetic tone, catecholamines are preferentially secreted. During acute stress, increased sympathetic firing evokes release of both catecholamines as well as neuropeptides. Both signalling molecules are co-packaged in the same l...

Piedmont tectonic belts are rich of oil and gas resources, however the intense tectonic stress and broken formation may cause great drilling problems in piedmont structures such as borehole collapse, lost circulation and gas cutting. Through analysis of in situ stress properties, bedding structure and mechanical characteristics, wellbore instability mechanism was expounded from rock mechanics, ...

The incidence of osteoporotic fractures was estimated as nine million worldwide in 2000, with particular occurrence at the proximity of joints rich in cancellous bone. Although most of these fractures spontaneously heal, some fractures progressively collapse during the early post-fracture period. Prediction of bone fragility during progressive collapse following initial fracture is clinically i...

In the freeze–thaw zone of eastern Sichuan–Tibet Mountains, phases water in cracks show strong seasonal variations, which significantly affect stability perilous rocks. However, few studies have clearly addressed role water/ice crack development from a fracture mechanics viewpoint to explain seasonality rock collapse. this study, we built physical models calculate water-freezing stress, hydrost...
