in the present work, the modified nickel electrode was electrochemically fabricated and tested for the electro-oxidation of paracetamol in alkaline media. the methods of cyclic voltammetry (cv), chronoamperometry (ca), and impedance spectroscopy (eis) were used to determine kinetic parameters such as transfer coefficient (α), the catalytic reaction rate constants (k), and the diffusion coeffici...

the depth control systems used in iranian tractors are mechanical and they produce variable tillage depth in uneven field surface. in this research a rotary type electronic control valve was designed and constructed. by using this valve, electro-hydraulic tillage depth control system was developed and installed on the tractor. the control system was composed of: a depth sensor, a programmable l...

The dielectrophoretic cell separation and the underlying electro-hydrodynamics is studied in the light of a single biological particle in a simplified geometry of electrodes. We propose and test a hypothesis related to the electro-rotation and preferential motion of cells observed in experiments. This work investigates the scaling of the forces and displacements to test the hypothesis and attem...

The glycogen was estimated in liver, cardiac and skeletal muscles during the recovery period after electro-shock. The supercompensation in the level of glycogen was observed in cardiac and skeletal muscles at 1 1/2 and 5 hrs respectively during the recovery period, after electro-shock. The liver glycogen level was lower than the control value after electro-shock at least upto 5 hrs of recovery ...

We report the observation of a biaxial nematic phase in a bent-core molecular system using polarizing microscopy, electro-optics, and dielectric spectroscopy, where we find that the biaxiality exists on a microscopic scale. An application of electric field induces a macroscopic biaxiality and in consequence gives rise to electro-optic switching. This electro-optic effect shows significant poten...

To study the efficacy of electro-acupuncture for the relief of labor pain, and to build a better understanding of how electro-acupuncture might influence the neuroendocrine system, 36 primiparas were randomly divided into an electro-acupuncture group and a control group. Assessments of pain intensity and degree of relaxation during labor were analyzed. The differences between the electro-acupun...

radar absorbing materials, i.e. magnetite (fe3o4) coated carbon fibers (mccfs) were fabricated by electro-deposition technique. black-colored single spinel phase fe3o4 nanoparticles was easily synthesized by hydrothermal method using reduction of a fe (iii) - triethanolamine complex in an aqueous alkaline solution at 60-80 ◦c. uniform and compact fe3o4 films were fabricated on nitric acid treat...

a combined electrodeposition-etaas technique has been applied to the analysis of pb, cd, co, ni, cr and mn in biological samples in order to overcome interferences and to minimize sample pretreatment. it requires minimal sample preparation with the electrolysis process aiding partial decomposition of the organic matrix, adequate for the release and deposition of trace elements. in an initial el...

this study investigates the vertical replacement of salts, variability of electrical conductivity (ec) and soil acidity (ph) due to direct electrical current. a plexiglas cylinder 100 cm in depth with a 14 cm radius was used as a soil container and filled with uniform moist soil to 90 cm. during the experiments, the bottom 10 cm of soil in the cylinder was kept saturated. a steel bar was used a...

introduction: as the ability to repair cartilage tissue in body is limited, finding a suitable method for cartilage regeneration has gained the attention of many scholars. for this purpose, scaffold structure and morphology, along with cell culture on it, can be a novel method to treat cartilage injuries, osteoarthritis. methods: in this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (phb) is selected as the scaff...
