This animation shows the polarization-dependent resonances of gold nanoparticle (NP) line patches. Multiple resonances were observed in hierarchical NP arrays influenced by nano-scale NP periodicity and microscale patch periodicity. This symmetry-breaking structure of line patches, however, shows polarization-dependent optical properties and different coupling along the x and y directions. I us...

Housing has been the basic need of mankind providing not only shelter but also private and dynamic setting for much social activities and interactions. The problem of housing has become an everyday discussion in all quarters of the public and private sectors of the African countries. It has became glaringly clear that most of the urban population lives in dehumanizing housing environment while ...

osting by E Abstract In this investigation, the effects of Sidr honey, Nigella sativa oil (black-seed oil) and Sidr honey and black-seed oil together on the ultrastructure of tegument, gastrodermis and testes of adult male Schistosoma mansoni harbored in albino mice were studied. The tegument of adult male S. mansoni recovered from mice treated with various types of treatments revealed apparent...

Multidrug-resistant bacteria continue to pose the greatest threat public health. Metallic nanoparticles are one of more promising strategies for combating antibiotic resistance. This research aims determine effect gold and silver gold-silver alloy as antibacterial agents. On other hand, biogenic synthesized using Ziziphus spina-christi leaf extract preparation treatment multidrug-resistant were...

The recent study of botanical macro-remains from the Late Sasanian and Early Islamic (5th to 8th century) fort Fulayj (Batinah, Sultanate Oman) provides a unique opportunity discuss food fuel acquisition strategies in an arid environment document periods that are little known archaeobotanical perspective Eastern Arabia. Seed assemblages include first well-identified directly radiocarbon dated e...
