PURPOSE To compare patient's perception of consent quality, clinical and quality-of-life outcomes after laser vision correction (LVC) and refractive lens exchange (RLE) between patients who met their treating surgeon prior to the day of surgery (PDOS) or on the day of surgery (DOS). DESIGN Retrospective, comparative case series. SETTING Optical Express, Glasgow, UK. METHODS Patients treat...

Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods have been used to evaluate the efficiency of four quinoline derivatives on corrosion inhibition in the aqueous phase. Some quantum chemical parameters such as hardness (η), electrophilicity (w), polarizability (a), energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (EHOMO), energy of th...

WNS are significantly different from the traditional network architecture due to its wireless communication, energy limitation, and computation constraint and environment of the application. Because of these differences, security becomes a critical issue. The path-based denial of service (PDoS) attacks harm the network maintenance and cause serious damage in the resource constrained WSNs. In a ...

Phenazine 5,10-dioxides (PDOs) are a new class of bioreductive cytotoxins, which could act towards tumours containing hypoxic regions. The PDOs selective-hypoxic bioreduction was probed in vitro; however, the mechanism of action has not been completely explained. Besides, PDOs in vivo antitumour activities have not been demonstrated hitherto. We study the mechanism of hypoxic/normoxic cytotoxic...

In the light of computational chemistry, based on morpholinium cation-based Ionic Liquid, their different types of physical, chemical, and biological properties is highlighted. The physical properties are evaluated through the Density Functional Theory (DFT) of Molecular Mechanics and also examine the chemical and biological properties. The difference between Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital ...

In a typical solitonic distribution, the soliton density is distributed over the entire moleculeand the present work shows how its density can be decomposed into solitonic and antisolitoniccomponents. It is found that there exists a unique electron as soliton over the anionicnanoconductor, while there are many other solitons and antisolitons. The solitonic states are furtherdecomposed to the ca...

The Density Functional Theory (DFT) and the Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) calculations basedmethod B3LYP/6-31G were carried out to study the interaction of Dopamine with carbon nanotube.The nanotube used in this study, includes 60 C atoms (6, 6) type. Relative and formation energies ofcompounds, Muliken charges, occupancy, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and thelowest unoccupied mole...

In this study, spectroscopic properties of the single-walled boron-nitride nanotube (SWBNNT) –a semiconductor channel in molecular diodes and molecular transistors–have been investigated under field-free and various applied electric fields by first principle methods.Our analysis shows that increasing the electric field in boron-nitride nanotube (BNNT) decreases the Highest Occupied Crystal Orbi...

The structural and magnetic properties of ultrathin FeO(111) films on Pt(111) with thicknesses from 1 to 16 monolayers (MLs) were studied using the nuclear inelastic scattering of synchrotron radiation. A distinct evolution of vibrational characteristics with thickness, revealed in the phonon density of states (PDOS), shows a textbook transition from 2D to 3D lattice dynamics. For the thinnest ...
