This paper shows that the reflectance in silicon nanowires (SiNWs) can be optimized as a function of the area of silicon substrate where the nanostructure growth. SiNWs were fabricated over four different areas of silicon substrates to study the size effects using electroless etching technique. Three different etching solution concentrations of silver nitrate (AgNO3) and hydroflu...

This study is about Complexes of Li doped silicon carbide nanotube with Thymine and Cytosine ingas phase and aqueous solutions. Li doped silicon carbide nanotube and its pyrimidine nucleobasecompounds were first modeled by Quantum mechanical calculations in gas phase and in water.Calculated binding energies indicated the stronger ability of thymine to functionalize silicon carbidenanotube than ...

application of nanofertilizers is one of the promising methods for increasing resources use efficiency and reducing environmental pollutions. uncontrolled application of chemical fertilizer and pesticides has caused many problems to human health and domestic animals. nanofertilizers application could be a suitable way to reduce these problems. accordingly, in order to assess the silicon nanopar...

background: the study of the association between genotype and phenotype is of great importance for the prediction of many diseases and pathophysiological conditions. the relationship between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) gene insertion/ deletion (i/d) polymorphism and pathological processes such as coronary artery disease (cad) has been investigated previously with discordant results. thi...

coronary artery disease (cad) including myocardial infarction (mi) as its complication, is one of the most common heart diseases worldwide and also in iran, with extremely elevated mortality. cad is a multifactorial disorder. twin and family studies at different loci have demonstrated that genetic factors have an important role in the progression of cad. many studies have reported a significant...

Background: It has been demonstrated that free oxygen radicals have a close interaction with lipid peroxidation, causing a modification of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and facilitating LDL deposition, with the consequent formation of atherosclerosis plaques. Free radical production is catalyzed and accelerated in the presence of iron. This study was conducted to evaluate the possible associ...

objective:  the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of two impression materials on the shear bond strength of porcelain to immediately sealed dentin. materials and methods: smooth dentin surfaces of 45 extracted premolars were immediately sealed with adper single bond adhesive agent. forty-five porcelain specimens were also prepared. the teeth were divided into one control and t...

One of the great problems in current large-scale integrated circuits is increasing power dissipation in a small silicon chip. Single-electron transistors which operate by means of oneby-one electron transfer, is relatively small and consume very low power and suitable for achieving higher levels of integration. In this research, the four masks step are involved namely source and drain mask, Pol...
