Background: The corona mortis is defined as the vascular connections between the obturator and external iliac systems. These small vessels anastomose behind the pubic symphysis between the obturator and external iliac arteries and have been described in classic anatomy texts. This article reviewed the literature in relation to incidence, anatomy and clinical relevance of the corona mortis. Meth...

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are one of the most promising nanomaterials for use in medicine. The blood biocompatibility of CNT is a critical safety issue. In the bloodstream, proteins bind to CNT through non-covalent interactions to form a protein corona, thereby largely defining the biological properties of the CNT. Here, we characterize the interactions of carboxylated-multiwalled carbon nanotubes...

In the present work, an attempt has been made to understand the feasibility of using UHF technique for identification of any corona discharges/ arcing in insulating material due to water droplets. The sensors of broadband type are useful for identification of such discharges. It is realised that arcing initiated by liquid droplet radiates UHF signals in the entire bandwidth up to 2 GHz. The fre...

It is well recognized that the primary interaction of most biological environments with nanoparticles (NPs) is strongly influenced by a long-lived ("hard") protein corona that surrounds the NP and remains strongly adsorbed to its surface. The amount and composition of associated proteins in the corona adsorbed onto the NPs is related to several important factors, including the physicochemical p...

We present the results of the spectral analysis of the broad-band spectrum of Cygnus X-1 from 5.5 to 200 keV, using data from a 10ksec observation by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The spectrum is well described by a power law with a photon index Γ = 1.43± 0.02, modified by an exponential cut-off with an e-folding energy Ef = 152 +8 −7 keV, and a weak soft excess component that can be modeled...

In this paper, we have used spectroscopic and electron microscopic analysis to monitor the time evolution of the silver nanoparticles (Ag NP)-human hemoglobin (Hb) corona formation and to characterize the interaction of the Ag NPs with Hb. The time constants for surface plasmon resonance binding and reorganization are found to be 9.51 and 118.48 min, respectively. The drop of surface charge and...

We report the formation and characterisation of easily functionalisable mixed micelles with DNA/PEO corona and PPO core which can be loaded with hydrophobic molecules and stabilised by the formation of a cross-linked semi-interpenetrating network. Furthermore, the corona is functionalised by hybridisation either with dye-modified complementary DNA, with demonstrable distance control, or with DN...

We show that the magnetic kink waves generated by the motions of the photospheric footpoints of the coronal ux tubes can supply adequate energy for heating the quiet corona. We model the solar corona as two-layer isothermal atmosphere, with the lower layer having chromospheric thickness and the temperature and the upper layer having coronal temperature.

We investigate a corona coupled with underlying disk through magnetic field and radiation field, and present emergent spectra. Due to buoyancy the magnetic flux loop emerges from the disk and reconnects with other loops in the corona, thereby releasing the magnetic energy to heat the coronal plasma. The energy is then radiated away through Compton scattering. By studying the energy balance in t...
