We present Spitzer 70 and 160 μm observations of the COSMOS Spitzer survey (S-COSMOS). The data processing techniques are discussed for the publicly released products consisting of images and source catalogs. We present accurate 70 and 160 μm source counts of the COSMOS field and find reasonable agreement with measurements in other fields and with model predictions. The previously reported coun...

Fractional calculus; Conformable operators; Calculus on time scales Abstract A conformable time-scale fractional calculus of order a 2 0; 1 is introduced. The basic tools for fractional differentiation and fractional integration are then developed. The Hilger timescale calculus is obtained as a particular case, by choosing a 1⁄4 1. a 2015 The Authors.

Background: Nandrolone decanoate (ND) is an anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) which influences the ovarian structure and function. We assessed the effects of ND on the ovarian volume, number of primordial follicles, and level of hormones and also evaluated the modulatory effects of gonadotropins on the histopathological changes imposed by the administration of ND. Methods: Six groups of Sprague...

An Nd doped ZnO (1-5%) photocatalyst was successfully synthesized via chemical co-precipitation method. The optical property, nature, and morphology of the synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed by UV-Visible, XRD, and FESEM respectively. XRD study reveals that Nd has been effectively incorporated in the ZnO lattice in the lower level dosage; however, the crystalline nature has been distor...

introduction: recent use of lasers for porcelain surface treatment for adhesion of brackets to restorations has not only showed some promising results, but is also accompanied with less undesirable effects among other advantages. the purpose of this study is the comparative electron microscope evaluation of feldspathic porcelain surfaces under irradiation by neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium ga...

introduction: port wine stains (pws) are congenital vascular malformations. pulsed dye laser (pdl) is the treatment of choice till now, although many lesions do not respond completely. one of possible options is long pulsed alexandrite laser. some literatures confirmed its efficacy. the aim of the present study is to determine the efficacy of this laser as an option in treating refractory pws i...
