In the critical instant ofDecember 1941, as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor reverberated around the world, he was translated to the United States to b...

We continue the study of nonlinear Maxwell equations for electromagnetism in the formalism of B. D. Coleman & E. H. Dill. We exploit here the assumption of Lorentz invariance, following I. Bia linicki-Barula. In particular, we show that nonlinearity forbids the convexity of the electromagnetic energy density. This justifies the study of rank-one convex and of polyconvex densities, begun in [8, ...

The present study reports the fabrication and characterization of a novel nanostructured phyto-bioactive coated rayon/polyester wound dressing (WD) surface refractory to Candida albicans adhesion, colonization and biofilm formation, based on functionalized magnetite nanoparticles and Anethum graveolens (AG) and Salvia officinalis (SO) essential oils (EOs). TEM, XRD, TGA, FT-IR were used for the...

A 63-year-old woman presented with a history of hyperthyroidism symptoms over two years, referred for thyroid scintigraphy. In the hospital archives we have met her previous thyroid scintigraphy showing a hot nodule in the upper part of right thyroid lobe. However, her recent thyroid scintigraphy was showing only cold nodules but no hot nodule, giving an impression that she had some treatment t...
