Nickel-rich cathode materials with small amounts of tungsten (W) dopants have attracted extensive attention in recent years. However, the chemical state, crystalline form, compound chemistry, and location W these layered cathodes are still not well-understood. In this study, missing structural properties determined through a combination macro-, to atomic-sensitive characterization techniques de...

Bell's palsy (BP), an acute unilateral facial paralysis, is frequently treated with acupuncture in many countries. However, the mechanism of treatment is not clear so far. In order to explore the potential mechanism, 22 healthy volunteers and 17 BP patients with different clinical duration were recruited. The resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans were conducted before and af...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of systemic acupuncture therapy on the pain caused after orthodontic adjustments. METHODS An initial sample of 30 orthodontic patients with fixed appliances monthly adjusted was selected; however, only 11 participants completed the study. For this reason, final sample comprised these patients' data only. Initially, average pain lev...

One of the most promising anode materials for Li-ion batteries, Li4Ti5O12, has attracted attention because it is a zero-strain Li insertion host having a stable insertion potential. In this study, we suggest two different synthetic processes to prepare Li4Ti5O12 using anatase TiO2 nanoprecursors. TiO2 powders, which have extraordinarily large surface areas of more than 250 m2 g-1, were initiall...

The development of ternary nanoscale materials with controlled cross-sectional doping is an important step for the use of chemically prepared quantum dots for nanoscale engineering applications. We report cross-sectional, elemental doping with the formation of an alloyed CdSSe nanocrystal from the thermal decomposition of Li(4)[Cd(10)Se(4)(SPh)(16)]. The sulfur incorporation arises from surface...

Dismenorea merupakan suatu gejala yang umum dikeluhkan oleh remaja. Berdasarkan data WHO, rata-rata kejadian dismenorea diseluruh dunia mencapai 16,8%-81% atau sekitar 1.769.245 kasus. Kejadian di Makassar 93,8%. Penanganan dapat dilakukan dengan terapi farmakologis dan non-farmakologis. Akupresure relaksasi nafas dalam sebagai non-farmakologis untuk mengatasi primer.
