nanoparticles classified in 4 overall groups containing: metallic nanoparticles, ceramic nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles and semiconductor nanoparticles. these nanoparticles are used in some biomedical applications such as carrying medicine and photographing agents. with attention to different criteria which are both qualitative and quantitative, selecting the most suitable nanoparticles...

Alternative energy resources such as hydrogen and methane gases are becoming increasingly important for the future economy. A major challenge for using hydrogen is to develop suitable materials to store it under a variety of conditions, which requires systematic studies of the structures, stability, and kinetics of various hydrogen-storing compounds. Neutron scattering is particularly useful fo...

The analysis of non-metallic inclusions is crucial for the assessment steel properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) one most prominent methods inclusion analysis. This study utilizes output generated from SEM/EDS to predict types BSE images. Prediction models were using two different algorithms, Random Forest (RF) and convolutional neural...

In recent years, destructive earthquakes have shown the deficiencies of the existing buildings. One of the most effective mechanisms for dissipating the earthquake energy is inelastic deformation of the steel components. The objective of this research is to study the application of metallic dampers for dissipation of the earthquake energy and to investigate the behavior of concrete structures i...

the mono-metallic and bi-metallic catalysts have been prepared by impregnating with solutions containing a compound of h2ptcl6,wo3 and 1ml hcl (0.1 mol). it should be noted that the catalysts’ activity and selectivity have been determined under these conditions : 450-5000c ,and 15-25atm by h2. for converting n-heptane , the molar ratio h2/c7h16 is 5 , and lhsv is 1.5ml/h. it has been proved tha...

introduction: foreign body aspiration (fba) represents a life-threatening emergency .it occurs primarily in children below 3 years. generally, the most common aspirated fb is organic material such as nuts or beans. sharp foreign bodies (fbs) are of particular concern to the attending clinician, because of their potential to perforate the air passage and cause possible complications. here in, we...

A metallic taste is reported by cancer patients as a side effect of systemic therapy. Despite the high prevalence, this taste alteration has received limited attention. The present study investigated: 1) the prevalence of metallic taste in cancer patients treated with systemic therapy; 2) possible predictors of metallic taste; and 3) characteristics of metallic taste. A heterogeneous population...

The deep interiors of Jupiter and Saturn consist of fluid, metallic hydrogen. In Jupiter the metallic hydrogen is uniformly mixed with helium. In Saturn, the incomplete solubility of helium may cause unmixing and energy release. In the interiors of Uranus and Neptune the fluid mixture (of hydrogen, helium, water, methane and ammonia) is metallic or ionic. The terrestral planetary cores are pred...
