prior animal models have shown that rats sustaining 3-second immediate spinal cord compression had significantly better functional recovery and smaller lesion volumes than rats subjected to compression times of 1 hour, 6 hours, 3 weeks, and 10 weeks after spinal cord injury. we compare locomotor rating scales and spinal cord histopathology after 3 seconds and 10 minute compression times. . ten ...

copper vanadate nanostructures were prepared via ex-situ precipitation approach in presence of schiff-base ligand (n,n׳ -buthylenebis(acetylacetone iminato)dianion = acacbn) as a new capping agent. the effect of different cu sources and ph on the size, morphology and size distribution of copper vanadate nanostructures was investigated. the as-prepared products were characterized using x-ray dif...

nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite was precipitated from calcium hydroxide and phosphoric acid. effects of precipitation temperature and different calcium to phosphate ratios (ca/p) on the obtained powders were investigated. characteriza-tion of the powders was performed using xrd and ftir spectra, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. increase in precipitation tempera...
