The Moldavian dragonhead (Dracocephalum moldavica L., Lamiaceae) is an annual medicinal plant with beneficial nutritional sources that plays important roles in human and animal feed. Nanoparticles and cold atmospheric plasma increase biochemical compounds in plants. In this study, the effects of copper nanoparticles and cold atmospheric plasma on biochemical indices of the medicinal plant Draco...

Background: The aim of the present study is to compare time perception among drug addicts and controls. Methods: 30 drug addicts were selected, and 30 non-addict individuals were selected as the control group. The two groups performed three tests of time reproduction, time estimation, and time discrimination. Findings: There was a significant difference between the addicts group and the control...

This study explores the effect of a program of sensory integration therapy, with emphasis on vestibular stzmulation actzvities, on the duration of postrotary nystagmus zn three learning-disabled children. The single-subject methodology employed allowed a more individualistic and longitudinal investigation of nystagmus patterns in the three subjects. The graphic and statistical analysis of the d...

Surgery is the treatment of choice for symptomatic disc herniation after conservative management. Several studies have suggested potential utility intradiscal ozone infiltration in this pathology. The aim trial was to compare vs. oxygen surgery. This a randomized, double-blinded, and controlled patients on waiting list herniated There were three groups: surgery; (plus foraminal ozone, steroids,...

Consecutive 25 patients (M/F:18/7) underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for various chest illnesses. These included nine cases of pneumothorax, three cases of pericardial effusion, three cases of pleural effusion, four cases of lung lesion requiring either incisional or excisional biopsy, two cases of empyema, one case of traumatic haemothorax, and three cases of mediastinal le...

We present the design and characterization of a three-Josephson-junction superconducting loop circuit with three large shunt capacitors. Used as qubit, shows long energy-relaxation times, order $40\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$ spin-echo dephasing time $9.4\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$. The has high anharmonicity, $2\ensuremath{\pi}\ifmmode\times...

the energy minima of systems made of an alanine molecule, a lithium cation and a various number of watermolecules have been determined with the help of quantum mechanical computations at the b3lyp densityfunctional theory level of computation and the standard 6-311++g (d,p) basis set. several structures, close inenergy are found and the presence of one or two water molecules around the cation m...
