Radio frequency (RF)-sputtered white-light-emitting BaWO4:Dy3+ thin films were deposited at four different temperatures for application in electroluminescence devices and displays. All crystallized to achieve a tetragonal structure with dominant BaWO4 (112) diffraction peak, irrespective of growth temperature. Two types trapezoid grains average sizes approximately 250 530 nm evolved deposition ...

2. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION This paper d m i a video-rate image processing system for an autonomous Personal Vehicle System (PVS). It detects white lines on a road including straight sections, curves, and intersections, and detects obstacles in the road by using binocular 3D vision. We developed white-line and obstacle detection algorithms that can be processed by the Fujitsu Integrated Visual Info...

Introduction: Alexander disease is a heterogenous group of diseases with various manifestations based on age of disease onset. This rare leukodystrophy syndrome with mutations in GFAP Gene could present with developmental delay and seizure in infantile form to ataxia and bulbar palsy in adulthood. However psychiatric symptoms are not well-defined and usually evaluate after disease diagnosis not...

background: in this study, we evaluated the quality of care and control of cardiovascular risk factors in newly diagnosed diabetic patients, identified during diabetes screening program, 1 year after diagnosis. methods: in this prospective study, 83 newly diagnosed diabetic patients identified at screening in isfahan, were studied. height, weight, blood pressure, plasma glucose, lipids, and hem...

The Bio-Breeding/Worcester (BB/W) rat develops spontaneous autoimmune diabetes similar to human insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Transfusions of whole blood from the nondiabetic W-line of BB/W rats prevent the syndrome in diabetes-prone recipients. We report three experiments designed to determine which blood component is protective. In all experiments, diabetes-prone BB/W rats 23 to 35 d o...

white matter lesions (wmls) are commonly observed in strokepatients with small vessel disease (svd) and are thought toresult from a progressive, irreversible disease process followingarteriolosclerosis. in this study, we report a case of partialdisappearance of wmls 1 year after a lacunar stroke in a69-year-old man with evidence of svd. we also discuss possiblemechanisms associated with this ob...

Bladder cancer is the 10th most common type worldwide, with a median age of diag-nostic 75 years. Male sex, white race, personal history pelvic radiation, and tobacco use are considered risk factors. Urothelial carcinoma (UC) frequent histology. Squamous dif-ferentiation (SD) histologic variant in bladder (20% cases) associated worse prognosis. We presented case 75-years old male patient diag-n...

The characterization of the follicular hierarchy and the expression of the mRNA for the inhibin/activin subunits was investigated in the follicles of 2 lines of turkey hens selected for over 40 generations for increased egg production (Egg line) or increased body weight (Growth line). The follicular hierarchies of 6 hens from the Egg and Growth lines were characterized in middle (45 wk of age) ...

We present new results of a survey for weak magnetic fields among DA white dwarfs with inclusion of some brighter hot subdwarf stars. We have detected variable circular polarization in the Hα line of the hot subdwarf star Feige 34 (SP: sdO). From these data, we estimate that the longitudinal magnetic field of this star varies from −1.1 ± 3.2 kG to +9.6 ± 2.6 kG, with a mean of about +5 kG and a...

Seminoma is one of the most common Testicular Germ Cell Tumours that originates during embryonic development due to an alteration of the local niche that in turn results in a delayed or blocked differentiation of Primordial Germ Cells. The block of differentiation is actually a common way to develop cancer disease as postulated by the "embryonic rest theory of cancer". In agreement with this th...
