A simple method for the deposition of noble metal (Pd, Au) nanoparticles on a free-standing chemical vapour deposited graphene (CVD GR) monolayer is reported. The method consists of assembling the high purity CVD GR, by transfer from poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), at the organic/water interface. Metal deposition can then proceed using either spontaneous or electrochemically-controlled proce...

OBJECTIVE This study assessed the posttreatment tumor control and auditory function of vestibular schwannoma (VS) patients after CyberKnife (CK) and analyzed the possible prognostic factors of hearing loss. METHODS We retrospectively studied 117 VS patients, with Gardner-Robertson (GR) classification grades I to IV, who underwent CK between 2006 and 2012. Data including radiosurgery treatment...

The susceptibility of 2 strains of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, 1 from North America (TL) and 1 from Germany (GR), to Myxobolus cerebralis (the cause of salmonid whirling disease) was assessed following exposure to the infectious stages (triactinomyxons). Two laboratory experiments were conducted with age-matched rainbow trout of each strain. At the beginning of the study, the 2 trout str...

Glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) are glucocorticoid-activated transcription factors that modulate expression of a variety of neuronal genes. Appropriate control of GR expression is therefore critical for maintenance of cellular and organismic homeostasis. The present study assessed glucocorticoid regulation of the GR at the gene, mRNA, and protein level. Removal of circulating glucocorticoids (ad...

RiSUME (1) Pendant une p%riode de deux ans, l'action de " Dolcin " (specialite medicale de comprimes contenant de l'aspirine 3 * 9 gr. et du succinate de calcium 2 * 5 gr.) fut comparee a celle. de l'aspirine seule en doses similaires. (2) On soumettait les malades a une cure complete selon les instructions des fabricants et on comparait 1'effet i celui obtenu par une cure similaire d'aspirine ...

Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by coprecipitation method using ammonia as precipitation agent. Most researchers usually add ammonia into the iron salt solution but in this work the salt solution drop wise has been added to the ammonia and the new obtained results were compared with those of other researches. Magnetic properties of nanoparticles were measured by VSM. The effect of rea...

this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of electron beam (eb) and gamma ray (gr) radiations at doses of 25, 50 and 75 kgy on ruminal degradation kinetics of dry matter (dm) and crude protein (cp),andin vitro digestibility of canola meal (cm). the nylon bag technique and in vitro two step method were used for this aim. gr decreased ruminal degradability of dm (p<0.05), but eb had no ...

In food microbiology, novel strategies to fight foodborne pathogens are certainly welcome. In this data report, cationic nanostructures built from combinations of nanoparticles, antimicrobial peptide and cationic lipid are evaluated against important foodborne pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica subsp. serovar Typhymurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. Th...
