For the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation, the analysis is provided to recover the portion of the potential lying to the right (left) of any chosen point. The scattering data used consists of the left (right) Jost solution or its spatial derivative evaluated at that point, or the amplitudes of such functions. Various uniqueness and nonuniqueness results are established, and the recovery is i...

Introduction: Stereotactic body radiotherapy delivers hypofractionated irradiation with high dose per fraction through complex treatment techniques. The increased complexity leads to longer dose delivery times for each fraction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of prolonged fraction delivery time with high-dose hypofractionation on the killing of cultured ACHN cells.Method...

Since the higher redox potential of quinone molecules has been correlated with enhanced cellular deleterious effects, we studied the ability of the association of ascorbate with several quinones derivatives (having different redox potentials) to cause cell death in K562 human leukaemia cell line. The rationale is that the reduction of quinone by ascorbate should be dependent of the quinone half...

The skin is the largest tissue of man with several functions. Cosmetics/cosmeceuticals agents always are needed to be evaluated for their detrimental effects on the skin. Nowadays, the therapeutic potential of stem cells has and fibroblasts have increased the hope for a successful cell therapy in aesthetic medicine. Stem cells are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cell ...

Background: ß-carbolines, harmaline and harmine, are the major alkaloids presenting in the seeds of the Peganum harmala L. These alkaloids are known as herbal active principals with potential use in pharmaceutical and medicine. Objectives: To assess the growth inhibitory effect of phyto-alkaloids, harmaline and harmine, on cancer cell lines. Method...

the aqueous electrochemistry of a number of anthraquinone derivatives was studied by using cyclic voltammetry at the surface of carbon paste electrode (cpe). from measurements of the half-wave potential as a function of ph, the potential - ph diagrams were constructed for each compound. the values of formal potentials and the pk'a of some different redox and acid-base couples involved in each c...

Equivalent circuit models (ECMs) have been widely used for capturing the electrical behaviour of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, one limitation conventional full-cell level ECM is that it cannot capture battery's internal states at half-cell level, e.g., negative electrode (NE) potential. Real-time monitoring NE potential highly desirable improving battery performance and safety, as can ...
