In the present study, silver-doped TiO2 (Ag/TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared by various Ag doping (wt%) and a combination of sol-gel and ultrasound irradiation. Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Based on the Taguchi method, photocatalytic...

Rayleigh-Brillouin (RB) scattering profiles for air have been recorded for the temperature range from 255 to 340 K and the pressure range from 640 to 3300 mbar, covering the conditions relevant for the Earth's atmosphere and for planned atmospheric light detection and ranging (LIDAR) missions. The measurements performed at a wavelength of λ=366.8 nm detect spontaneous RB scattering at a 90° sca...

Urethral or cervical swab of 255 patients attending Skin and Social Hygiene Centre and found positive for gram negative intracellular diplococci on direct microscopy were inoculated on Modified New York City (MNYC) medium and chocolate (heated blood) agar for isolation of neisseria gonorrhea. Growth of N. gonorrhea was obtained in 134 (52.5%) cases. These strains were tested for penicillin susc...

In order to investigate the performance of two different algorithms for retrieving temperature from Rayleigh-Brillouin (RB) line shapes, RB scattering measurements have been performed in air at a wavelength of 403 nm, for a temperature range from 257 K to 330 K, and atmospherically relevant pressures from 871 hPa to 1013 hPa. One algorithm, based on the Tenti S6 line shape model, shows very goo...

the distinction between malignant and benign pheochromocytoma has always been a diagnostic challenge over the last decades. to date, the only reliable criterion is metastasis. the aim of the present study was to investigate the possible expression of pituitary-tumor transforming gene (pttg1) and retinoblastoma (rb) in benign and malignant pheochromocytoma. paraffin blocks of 44 and 11 patients ...

As a result of isotope-geochemical study, the age data (U-Pb method, ID-TIMS) titanite from first phase granites Belokurikhinsky granite massif, Gorny Altai, were obtained for time. The concordant value 255 ± 2 Ma coincides within margin error with previously published results dating micas second and third phases Belokurikha massif by Ar-Ar method (250 3 Ma). At same time, differ significantly ...

Results: The EG and LG group had 343 and 430 Rb patients respectively. The incidence of Rb in 1997 and in 2012 was 0.06 and 0.03 per 1,000 live births in Saudi Arabia respectively. The gender distribution was similar. The median age of presentation was 24 (range 11, 39) months in EG vs. 18 (8, 31) months in LG (p <0.001). Incidence of unilateral Rb was 58% [200/343] in EG vs. 56% [278/485] in L...

BACKGROUND The mechanism behind the lowered postprandial insulin demand observed after rye bread intake compared to wheat bread is unknown. The aim of this study was to use the metabolomics approach to identify potential metabolites related to amino acid metabolism involved in this mechanism. METHODS A sourdough fermented endosperm rye bread (RB) and a standard white wheat bread (WB) as a ref...
