Evaluation of Crystal, Crack and Ethanol on viability of Mesenchymal Stem cells

Introduction Nowadays, due to drug abuse the world community has suffered  considerable  losses,  resulting  from productivity loss;  transmission  of  infectious  diseases; physical,  mental,  social  and  family  problems  and disabilities; increased crime rates; the need for providing health care  practices;  threatened  personal  safety;  and decreased life quality.   Crack, a cheap, highl...

Agile and Crystal Clear with Library IT Innovations

The Agile project management approach with the Crystal Clear method was used to rapidly develop and deploy a variety of innovative IT applications. Our A-Team of staff and students thrived on the flexible and iterative process, and helped fine-tune our adaptation of the Agile approach for future IT projects.

P-24: High-Temperature (250°C) Amorphous-Silicon TFT’s On Clear Plastic Substrates

Amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film transistors (TFT’s) were fabricated on free-standing, clear plastic substrates with a maximum process temperature of up to 250°C. An a-Si TFT backplane for active matrix OLED (AMOLED) application was also made on such substrates. The performance of both the TFT’s and the AMOLED backplane are excellent. These results will enable the fabrication of flexible AMLC...

Synthesis of CuO nanorods via thermal decomposition of copper-dipicolinic acid complex

Template-free CuO nanorods were synthesized through a three-step chemical method with no water-insoluble materials. The first step included the preparation of a Cu-complex, which was obtained from dipicolinic acid, L-lysine, and copper nitrate. Then, as the second step, the obtained solution was allowed to be relaxed for a week to and formation of some blue single-crystals single crystals, whic...

Powder to become crystal clear

A simulation by Zhang et al. [IUCrJ (2015), 2, 322-326] has demonstrated that utilizing serial crystallography may turn one-dimensional powder diffraction from multiphase polycrystalline samples into three-dimensional single-crystal diffraction patterns.
