The aim of this study was to investigate if the uptake of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), a widely used industrial chemical, increases after exposure to NMP in humid air compared to dry air. NMP has been described to be an airway irritant and a developmentally toxic compound. Six male volunteers were exposed to NMP, three at the time, for 8h in an exposure chamber. They were each exposed on four ...

Non-aqueous carbonate solvents have been the main choice for development of lithium-ion batteries, and similarly most research on sodium-ion batteries performed using carbonate-based solvents. However, differences between sodium lithium – in term chemistry/electrochemistry properties as well electrode materials used open up opportunities to a new look at that attracted little attention electrol...

Hybrid materials formed by the combination of inorganic components with organic polymers have emerged as a rapidly expanding and internationally competitive field research in polymer science. These show great promise many important applications where control surface properties, well structure interfacial interactions between two primary components, are determinant. In this paper, we present rev...

Background: Nomophobia is the fear of being disconnected from one’s mobile phone, prevailing in modern area. To the best of our knowledge, no Persian psychometric scales are available for investigating nomophobia among Iranians. Therefore, we here aimed to translate and validate the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) for being used in Iran. Methods:...

NANOCOFC consortium supported by EC FP6 NMP (SSA) program has taken a historical opportunity to develop innovative fuel cell network / networking efforts covering materials, technologies, devices/system and applications with emphases on both science and commercialization. The consortium involves 7 European countries crossover Europe, 1 United Nation centre and 4 Chinese partners including Chine...

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has been utilized for several decades for the healing of cranio-maxillofacial bone defects and, particularly in the dental field, by creating space with a barrier membrane to exclude soft tissue and encourage bone growth in the membrane-protected volume. Although the first membranes were non-resorbable, a new generation of GBR membranes aims to biodegrade and prov...

This paper reports the benefits of a carbon coated aluminum current collector specifically designed to promote LiNi1.5M1.5O4 (LNMO) as high potential positive electrode material. underlayer allows efficient protection surface in 1 M LiTFSI/[EC/DMC] electrolyte for more than 100 cycles (C/2 – D/2) experimental conditions mimicking electrochemical response LNMO. The design such coating appears th...
