introduction: osteoporosis is a bone disease in which there is a reduction in the amount of bone mineral content leading to an increase in the risk of bone fractures. the affected individuals not only have to go through lots of pain and suffering but this disease also results in high economic costs to the society due to a large number of fractures.  a timely and accurate diagnosis of this disea...

In this paper, the structural parameters, energy bands structure, density ofstates and charge density of HgSe in the Zincblende(B3) phase have been investigated.The calculations have been performed using the Pseudopotential method in theframework of density functional theory (DFT) by Quantum Espresso package. Theresults for the electronic density of states (DOS) show tha...

the physical adsorption of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide gases on the zigzag (5,0) carbon nanotubes doped with nitrogen was investigated through the application of b3lyp/6-31g* at the level of theory on gaussian 03 software. a variety of stable and high abundance structures of nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes were considered in order to study the interaction between the mentioned gases in ...

antioxidants are made for the struggle and reconstruction of the damaged cells, because of their ability in destroying the free radicals. on account of their importance, a theoretical procedure was applied for the study of the molecular structure and radical scavenging activity of six hydroxyphenols which have been introduced as antioxidant compounds. all geometry structures were optimized by m...

background: the main purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between serum vitamin d and the status of bone mineral density in patients with low-energy hip and distal radius fracture. methods: this retrospective case-control study was performed between january 2013 and january 2014. participants aged 55 years or older were divided to case group including 85 patients with low-ene...
