Mixtures of nanometric rods and spherical micelles that are dominated by excluded volume (entropic) interactions tend to de-mix into sphere- rod-rich mesophases. Here we report the observation hybrid mesophases formed mixtures polymer-decorated sulfuric-acid-hydrolyzed cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs, rod-like particles), at high CNCs concentrations (7 wt%) where native suspensions bi-phasic (isot...

Nanocrystalline cellulose particles are new class of cellulose materials that can find the wide application in various technical areas, biotechnology and medicine. The nanoparticles are usually made by treatment or initial cellulose samples with concentrated sulfuric acid (SA) at various temperatures and following mechanical or ultrasound disintegration. Unfortunately, conditions of existing me...

The Sine-Gordon equation in (1+3) dimensions has N-traveling front ("kink", "domain wall")- solutions for all N ≥ 1. A nonlinear functional of the solution, which vanishes on a single-front, maps multi-front solutions onto sets of infinitely long, but laterally bounded, rods, which move in space. Each rod is localized in the vicinity of the intersection of two Sine-Gordon fronts. The rod system...

Early work by Dewey and collaborators has shown the distribution of rhodopsin in the frog retina. We have repeated these experiments on cow and mouse eyes using antibodies specific to rhodopsin alone. Bovine rhodopsin in emulphogene was purified on an hydroxyapatite column. The purity of this reagent was established by spectrophotometric criteria, by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gel electrophor...

Background: Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is a common bone and mineral metabolism disorder in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study aimed to determinate the frequency of the subtypes of ROD and evaluate the diagnostic value of biochemical as the well as radiographic markers for the diagnosis of ROD among hemodialysis patients in Golestan province of Iran.  Materials and Methods...
