The percolating conductance of a new class of nanocomposite thin-film transistors, with channels composed of isotropic ensembles of nanotubes or nanowires, is analyzed as a function of wire/tube density and channel length. The conductance exponents are validated against analytical results for short channel transistors, and against available experimental data for longer channel devices. Our plot...

background: serum lipids abnormalities have been observed in various forms of cancers including acute leukemia. investigators report decreased total cholesterol and hdl, and elevated triglyceride in leukemic patients. limited studies had been performed to discover the correlation between abnormal lipids profile and disease activity in leukemic patients in iran. this study was done to evaluate t...

abstract probiotic products highly affect the health of consumers by reducing the risk of heart attacks and improving of desirable microflora in intestinal tract. in this study the effect of yogurt (500g/d for 3 wk) enriched with either bifidobacterium bifidum or lactobacillus acidophilus on the level of cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (ldl) and high density lipoprotein (hdl) of serum and ...

background: the association between the lipid profiles level and the incidence and severity of coronary heart disease (chd) is very pronounced in epidemiological studies, and an inverse relation between physical fitness and the incidence of coronary heart disease has been observed in many studies. the aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a soccer match on lipid parameters of profe...

introduction: abnormal lipid profile causes maternal mortality and impairs fetal development. this study investigated the effect of ramadan fasting on plasma lipid profile in pregnant women. material and methods: this self-control, cohort study was performed in healthy volunteer fasted pregnant women. serum cholesterol, triglyceride (tg), low density lipoprotein (ldl), high density lipoprotein ...

Scaffolds play a pivotal role in the tissue engineering paradigm by providing temporary structural support, guiding cells to grow, assisting the transport of essential nutrients and waste products, and facilitating the formation of functional tissues and organs. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), especially ultra-short SWNTs (US-tubes), have proven useful for reinforcing synthetic polymeri...

Tapioca starch, poly(lactic acid) and Cloisite 30B nanocomposites foams, with clay contents of 1, 3, 5 and 7% (w/w), were prepared by a meltintercalation method. Multiple inputs single output models were developed to predict radial expansion ratio, unit density, bulk compressibility and spring index of the nanocomposite foams. An individual ANFIS model was developed for each mechanical property...

The incorporation of the one-dimensional carbon nanomaterial carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was found to successfully develop a resistive switching. It implements memristic characteristics which shift from bistable to tristable memory. The localized current pathways in the organic nanocomposite layers for each intermediate resistive state (IRS) are attributed to the...
