Objective: In this study, the zeolite-coated iron oxide nanoparticles were evaluated as MRI contrast agent and effect of the nanocomposite synthesis method on MRI contrast was tested. Materials and Methods: Ion exchange method was used for synthesis of iron oxide-zeolite and the as prepared nanocomposite was characterized by XRD, FESEM and TEM. The nanocomposite toxicity in the cell culture, a...

This article presents a new subspace-based technique for reducing the noise of signals in time-series. In the proposed approach, the signal is initially represented as a data matrix. Then using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), noisy data matrix is divided into signal subspace and noise subspace. In this subspace division, each derivative of the singular values with respect to rank order is u...

Since the birth of multi–spectral imaging techniques, there has been a tendency to consider and process this new type of data as a set of parallel gray–scale images, instead of an ensemble of an n–D realization. Although, even now, some researchers make the same assumption, it is proved that using vector geometries leads to better results. In this paper, first a method is prop...

Since the inception of intuitionistic fuzzy sets in 1986, many authors have proposed different methods for ranking intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs). How ever, due to the complexity of the problem, a method which gives a satisfactory result to all situations is a challenging task. Most of them contained some shortcomings, such as requirement of complicated calculations, inconsistency with hum...

objective(s): in order to grow cells in a three-dimensional (3d) microenvironment, self-assembling peptides, such as puramatrix, have emerged with potential to mimic the extracellular matrix. the aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of the self-assembling peptide on the morphology, survival, proliferation rate, migration potential, and differentiation of human meningioma st...

The aim of this study is to investigate the application of polypyrrole/ polyaniline (PPy/PANI) nanofiberfor Cu (II) sorption from paper mill wastewater. The tests and their optimization results were basedon the experiments design in three levels of variables using Taguchi method. The results showed thatin Copper removal tests, the pH of the solution was the most effective para...

nano tin dioxide was employed as a catalyst for efficient and facile preparation of pyran derivatives via the one-pot three component condensation reaction of various aldehydes with malononitrile and dimedone. chromene derivatives via the one-pot three component condensation reaction of various aldehyde with malononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarin were also synthesized by this novel catalyst. the d...
