introduction: carbon nanotubes (cnts) have shown enormous potential in neuroscience. nerve growth factor (ngf)-cnts complex promotes the neuronal growth, however, the underlying mechanism(s) have remained elusive. based on the interplay between ngf and the endocannabinoid system, involvement of the neuroprotective endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-ag), was investigated in the mechanis...

an octahedral cobalt(iii) complex, trans-[(me2bpb)co(bzlan)2]clo4 (1), with h2me2bpb = n,n’-(4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylene)dipicolinamide and bzlan = benzylamine, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, ir, uv-vis, and 1h nmr spectroscopy. the structure of this complex has been determined by x-ray crystallography. the me2bpb2– is a di-anionic tetradentate ligand furnishing a ...

in this work application of seven synthetic polymers as adsorbents for the removal of hg(ii) from aqueous solution was studied. the equilibrium studies are systematically carried out in a batch process, covering various process parameters that include agitation time, adsorbent dosage, and ph of the aqueous solution. variations of hg(ii) concentration in solution have been studied through measur...

Introduction: Somatostatin receptors expressed on a wide range of human tumors, are potential targets for the peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). In this study, 177Lu-[DOTA-DPhe1, Tyr3]octreotide (177Lu-DOTATOC) as an agent for PRRT was prepared and its biodistribution was studied in rats. Methods:The ...

Objective(s): In this work a new possible agent for radiosynovectomy has been targeted for articular pain palliation. Materials and Methods: Lu-177 of 2.6-3 GBq/mg specific activity was obtained by irradiation of natural Lu2O3 sample with thermal neutron flux of 4 × 1013 n.cm-2.s-1. The product was converted into chloride form which was further used for labeling of 177Lu-phytate complex and che...

In this study, production, quality control and biodistribution studies of 166Ho-zoledronate have been presented as a possible bone marrow ablative agent. Ho-166 chloride was produced by thermal neutron irradiation of natural 165Ho(NO3)3 samples. 166Ho-zoledronate complex was prepared by adding the desired amount of zoledronate solution (0.2 mL, 150 mg/ml in 1 M NaOH) to appropriate amount of th...

This paper presents a VV&A solution to effectively address VV&A problems arising during the development of complex simulation systems. First, a VV&A process is presented along with the development of a computer support tool, HITVICE, which helps to organize and manage the different VV&A activities. Second, the optimal design method for VV&A schemes is presented to produce an optimal scheme, acc...

As systems evolve over time, their natural tendency is to become increasingly more complex. Studies in the field of complex systems have generatednewperspectivesonmanagement in social organizations such as hospitals. Much of this research appears as a natural extension of the cross-disciplinary field of systems theory. This is the 13th in a series of articles applying complex systems science to...

In this study, the carbyne complex, OsCl3(=CCH2CMe3)(PH3)2, structural, themochemical andelectronic properties were studied in solution and gas phases. For this investigation, the chosensolvents were five solvents (methanol, acetone, ethanol, DMSO, nitromethane) with variouspolarities. The influence of solvent polarity on the thermodynamic, structural, solvation energyparameters and frontier or...
