İnsan Hakları Bildirgesi uyarınca, dünya genelinde işkence, insan hakları ihlali olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Pek çok ülke, işkenceyi suç kabul etmekte ve çeşitli cezai yaptırımlarla işkencenin önüne geçmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bunun yanında Uluslararası Af Örgütü (Amnesty International, AI) gerçekleştirdiği kampanyalardaki kamu spotları üzerinden işkenceye karşı mesajlar vererek, uluslararası kam...

Concerns about the environmental risks of engineered nanomaterials (ENM) are growing, however, currently very little is known about their concentrations in the environment. Here, we calculate the concentrations of five ENM (nano-TiO2, nano-ZnO, nano-Ag, CNT and fullerenes) in environmental and technical compartments using probabilistic material-flow modelling. We apply the newest data on ENM pr...

b fast and highly reliable method of inspecting minule solder joints of high-density rnouaed devices hns been dcveloperl. It uses two techniques to detect all types of defects, such as unsoldered leads. solder bridges. and mis-aligned leads. One applieszxternal Form to solder joints with an air jet. which vibrates w shifts unsoldered leads. The vibration and shift is detected as a change in the...

With the death of A. W. Prichard, on January 13th, another old landmark of the medical profession in the West of England passed away. Born at the " Red Lodge," Park Row, Bristol, seventy-three years ago, he took a great deal of interest in this house, and during his life enriched its collection of old Bristol valuables by several gifts. He was the son of Augustin Prichard, a prominent surgeon o...

The present study records on in vivo evaluation of  ve types of electrospun nano brous matrices, viz., collagen, gelatin, polycaprolactone (PCL), collagen-PCL (1:1) and Gelatin-PCL (1:1), prepared with a novel benign solvent in a rat model on wound healing. Granulation tissue formation was observed in the subcutaneous implanted tissue. There was no indication of gross rejection of the implant...

cycloaddition reaction between c30 and hula-i, 3-diene was studied within the snimework of am i (rhf)level. the reaction involving the double bond between two hexagons and a hexagon and a pentagon, as wellas the cycloaddition products followed by disrotatory ogs s electrocyclic ring openings were considered.thermodynamics parameters and stability energy and innsation state are evaluated in thre...

In this paper w e discuss three little known letters on the Konigsberg bridges problem. These letters indicate more clearly Euler’s attitude to the problem and to his solution of it.

The aim of this study was to use a life-cycle perspective to model the quantities of engineered nanoparticles released into the environment. Three types of nanoparticles were studied: nano silver (nano-Ag), nano TiO2 (nano-TiO2), and carbon nanotubes (CNT). The quantification was based on a substance flow analysis from products to air, soil, and water in Switzerland. The following parameters we...
