in present study, the density functional theory (dft-b3lyp) method with svp basis set was used for optimizing and studying the electronic structural properties of cis and trans isomers of bis-(5-nitro-2h-tetrazolato-n2) tetraammine cobalt (iii) perchlorate (bncp) as powerful explosives at 298.15 k temperature and 1 atmosphere pressure. and also, natural bond orbital (nbo) population analysis an...

Anatomical and electrophysiological techniques were combined to study the morphology, synaptic connections, and response properties of two neurons in the rod pathway of the rabbit retina: the rod bipolar cell and the narrow-field, bistratified (NFB) amacrine cell. Rod bipolars receive synaptic input from rod cells in the outer plexiform layer (OPL), where their dendrites end as central elements...

PURPOSE Transplantation of cells into retinas affected by degenerative diseases to replace dying photoreceptors represents a promising therapeutic approach. Young photoreceptors of 4-day-old mice show the highest capacity to integrate into the retinas of adult mice following grafting. Additional enrichment of these donor cells before transplantation with cell surface marker-dependent sorting me...

We consider a system of mobile hard rods that are immersed in an isotropic matrix of hard rods with quenched positions and orientations. Using quenched-annealed density functional theory the disorder-averaged excess free energy functional is approximated by an Onsager second virial form, which is valid in the limit of large length-to-thickness aspect ratio of the particles. We find that inside ...

Structural transitions involving shape changes play an important role in cellular physiology. Charged micelles offer a convenient model system in which structural transitions can be suitably induced by increasing the ionic strength of the medium. In this paper, we have explored sphere-to-rod transition in charged micelles of SDS and CTAB by monitoring micellar dipole potential using the dual wa...

In a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant, metal foreign matter in the rod–rod gap of fuel assembly is constantly rubbed and collided with rod under continuous scouring coolant, resulting wear to even leakage perforation. this work, effects different debris shapes materials on impact behavior Zr−4 alloy tubes were studied through dynamic response damage cyclic impact. The results show ...

The traditional automatic monitoring method of salt spray concentration has a weak anti-interference ability, which affects the accuracy. Therefore, remote atmospheric fog based on optical sensor is designed. Determine power loss in environment, and obtain relationship between density, environmental humidity. Based sensing, quartz rod early warning model under high environment established to in...

Background: Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is a common bone and mineral metabolism disorder in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study aimed to determinate the frequency of the subtypes of ROD and evaluate the diagnostic value of biochemical as the well as radiographic markers for the diagnosis of ROD among hemodialysis patients in Golestan province of Iran.  Materials and Methods...

Physicochemical properties of PBLG (poly(gamma-benzyl-l-glutamate))-PEO (poly(ethylene oxide)) diblock copolymers composed of PBLG as the hydrophobic rod component and PEO as the hydrophilic component were investigated at the air-water interface. Surface pressure-area isotherms obtained by the Wilhelmy plate method provide several variables such as molecular size, compressibility of PEO, and th...

Bimetallic nanostructured core-shell structures are commonly used as catalysts in a wide variety of reactions. We surmised that the addition of an additional metal would potentially allow catalytic tailoring with the possibility of an increase in activity. Here a tri-metallic catalytic structure, consisting of clustered catalytic Pt on the surface of a Pd shell supported on a rod shaped Au core...
