purpose: to evaluate the clinical manifestations and surgical results in patients with double elevator palsy operated at labbafinejad eye center from 1993 to 2004. methods: the study was conduct on hospital records of 20 patients with double elevator palsy. patients were classified in three groups including primary elevator muscle palsy (9 subjects), primary supranuclear palsy with secondary in...

Since the discovery of ferromagnetic two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) crystals, significant interest on such 2D magnets has emerged, inspired by their appealing physical properties and integration with other family for unique heterostructures. In known magnets, spin-orbit coupling (SOC) stabilizes perpendicular magnetic anisotropy down to one or a few monolayers. Such strong SOC could a...

Abstract Among several well-known transition metal-based compounds, cleavable van der Waals (vdW) Fe 3-x GeTe 2 (FGT) magnet is a strong candidate for use in two-dimensional (2D) magnetic devices due to its perpendicular anisotropy, sizeable Curie temperature (T C ~154 K), and versatile character that retained the low-dimensional limit. While T remains far too low practical applications, there ...

The government’s lockdown and restriction measures on the COVID-19 pandemic adversely altered livelihoods, commodity/food prices as well food security status in Nigeria, especially for rural farming households. A multistage sampling technique was used to collect data from 480 households across three selected states of SouthWest geopolitical zone Nigeria. This research entailed rapid evaluation ...

Chlamydia trachomatis infections represent the predominant cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infections. As an obligate intracellular bacterium, C. trachomatis is dependent on the host cell for survival, propagation, and transmission. Thus, factors that affect the host cell, including nutrition, cell cycle, and environmental signals, have the potential to impact chlamydial development. Pr...

Based on experimental mass hierarchy, a set of flavor–democratic (FD) quark mass matrices at low energies is discussed. The model predicts CP violation parameters J CP = (0.3 ± 0.2) 10 −4 and ε ′ /ε = (0.6 ± 0.5) 10 −3. However, this simple FD model also predicts a physical top quark mass not much higher than 100 GeV. As a next step, we assume that the Standard Model (SM) breaks down around som...
