background and objective: evaluation of the results, safety, and stability of ferrara intracorneal ring segment (ficrs) implantation for keratoconus correction (age range was 24.39±8.32 years).   materials and methods: in this clinical trial study, 64 eyes of 57 patients with keratoconus and clear cornea that had ficrs implantation were studied. uncorrected visual acuity (ucva), best-spectacle ...

Introduction: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a key role in the regulation of vascular tone and protection of blood vessels against endothelial dysfunction. Since the mechanism of salt impairing H2S-induced vascular relaxation is not fully clear, therefore this study was designed to investigate the role of potassium (K+) channels in the vasodilatory effects of exogenous H2S in rat aortic rings.&nb...

In the present work, an extensive theoretical calculation study on Histidine-Histidine dipeptide in gas phase is done by using DFT method with Gaussian 98 program. Through investigations on the molecular geometries of this molecule it is found that there is six rings in the molecules not two rings. The presence of four intramolecular hydrogen bonds is responsible for the formation of additional...

In this paper, two outwardly different graphs, namely, the zero-divisor graph [Formula: see text] and comaximal of ring all real-valued continuous functions having countable range, defined on any zero-dimensional space text], are investigated. It is observed that these graphs exhibit resemblance, so far as diameters, girths, connectedness, triangulatedness or hypertriangulatedness concerned. Ho...

this paper deals with continuous frames and continuous riesz bases. we introduce continuous riesz bases and give some equivalent conditions for a continuous frame to be a continuous riesz basis. it is certainly possible for a continuous frame to have only one dual. such a continuous frame is called a riesz-type frame [13]. we show that a continuous frame is riesz-type if and only if it is a con...

Let $alpha$ be an automorphism of a ring $R$. The authors [On skewinverse Laurent-serieswise Armendariz rings, Comm. Algebra 40(1)(2012) 138-156] applied the concept of Armendariz rings to inverseskew Laurent series rings and introduced skew inverseLaurent-serieswise Armendariz rings. In this article, we study on aspecial type of these rings and introduce strongly Armendariz ringsof inverse ske...

Elastic stability of ring and stringer-stiffened cylindrical shells under axial, internal and external pressures is studied using Ritz method. The stiffeners are rings, stringers and their different arrangements at the inner and outer surfaces of the shell. Critical buckling loads are obtained using Ritz method. It has been found that the cylindrical shells with outside rings are more stable th...

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) allow a user to interact with a computer system using thought. However, only recently have devices capable of providing sophisticated multi-dimensional control been achieved non-invasively. A major goal for non-invasive BCI systems has been to provide continuous, intuitive, and accurate control, while retaining a high level of user autonomy. By employing electro...

The bacterial tubulin homologue FtsZ forms a ring-like structure called the Z ring that drives cytokinesis. We showed previously that FtsZ-YFP-mts, which has a short amphipathic helix (mts) on its C terminus that inserts into the membrane, can assemble contractile Z rings in tubular liposomes without any other protein. Here we study mts-FtsZ-YFP, where the membrane tether is switched to the opp...
