A thorough consideration of the relation between the lattice parameters of 185 binary and ternary spinel compounds, on one side, and ionic radii and electronegativities of the constituting ions, on the other side, allowed for establishing a simple empirical model and finding its linear equation, which links together the above-mentioned quantities. The derived equation gives good agreement betwe...

Most materials expand upon heating. However, although rare, some materials contract upon heating. Such negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials have enormous industrial merit because they can control the thermal expansion of materials. Recent progress in materials research enables us to obtain materials exhibiting negative coefficients of linear thermal expansion over -30 ppm K-1. Such giant ...

factor v (fv) deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder (rbd) that inherit in autosomal recessive manner. diagnosis of fv deficiency (fvd) is made by routine coagulation tests, fv activity and molecular analysis. in patients with fvd, routine coagulation tests including activated partial thromboplastin time (aptt), prothrombin time (pt) and evenbleeding time (bt) are prolongedwhile thrombin time (...

background: the appearance of multi-drug resistant microorganisms is becoming a global problem. already several strategies have been employed for overcoming antibiotic resistance issue. developing new antimicrobial compounds from microbial source could be a beneficial solution. hence screening programs in order to discover new antibiotics from microbial entities is interesting. because of high ...

hydatid cyst locates in the liver (70%), lungs (25%) and rarely in other body tissues. cases with gluteal muscle localized hydatid cyst are rarely seen in literature. in this case report, a woman with hydatid cyst that was located in gluteal muscle was discussed. after the patient had been diagnosed, complete surgical excision was performed with the patient. albendazole treatment was applied in...
