BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2015212443 DESCRIPTION A 14-year-old girl was referred for skin tightening in the fingers. She did not have Raynaud’s phenomenon, gastroesophageal reflux disease or other systemic symptoms. She had had a hoarse voice since birth and was developmentally normal. She was born of ...

In this paper, properties of slab deformation in sizing press mill as one of the slab reduction processes in hot rolling mills have been evaluated using the elastoviscoplastic finite element method with explicit formulation. Effect of prarameters such as initial slab width and thickness, reduction, feed pitch, and anvil speed on factors such as dogbone formation, head and tail fishtail profile,...

STUDY DESIGN Measurement and normalization of disc geometry parameters for several animal models used in disc research. OBJECTIVES To compare normalized values of disc geometry to the human disc geometry to aid in the selection and interpretation of animal model studies. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Animal models are widely used to study intervertebral disc degeneration and to evaluate disc t...

Investigation of new calculate depends on the controlled optical properties of nanomaterials. Understanding the growth mechanism and growth parameters of nanostructured materials is essential. ZnO is one of the most important semiconductor materials for its semiconducting characteristics. In the present paper, we investigated a new model by theoretical methods; it is based on correlation from t...

Abstract The photovoltaic properties of quantum dot (QD) sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) depend significantly on the surface modification applied to QDs and nanostructured interface between electrode surface. In development QDSCs with spatially ordered QD arrays, linking molecular ligands (QD-ligands) can lead realization novel QDSCs. ligand shell around mediates electron energy transfer process...

Herein the optical properties of Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose/Potassium iodide (HPMC/KI) composite films were determined. The casting technique was introduced to make HPMC/KI with different KI salt concentrations (0.1–1) wt%. absorbance model used determine parameters like absorption edge, refractive index, real and imaginary sections dielectric function, extinction coefficient, Urbach energy,...

We present a simple and highly adaptable method for simulating coarse-grained lipid membranes without explicit solvent. Lipids are represented by one head bead and two tail beads, with the interaction between tails being of key importance in stabilizing the fluid phase. Two such tail-tail potentials were tested, with the important feature in both cases being a variable range of attraction. We e...

This work proposes a region-based shape signature that uses a combination of three different types of pattern spectra. The proposed method is inspired by the connected shape filter proposed by Urbach et al. We extract pattern spectra from the red, green and blue color bands of an image then incorporate machine learning techniques for application in photographic image retrieval. Our experiments ...

zno and zno:mn nanocrystals synthesized via reverse micelle method. the size, band gap, urbach energy, optical constants and penetration depth of nanocrystals were calculated by uv-vis spectroscopy data. the surface morphology was studied with the use of scanning electron microscope (sem). moreover the samples exposed to gama ray source of 60co and their thermoluminescence properties were also ...
