in current work, cds/black carbon nanocomposites were successfully synthesized with the aid of chestnut and cadmium nitrate as the starting reagents. besides, the effects of preparation parameters such as reaction time, and precursor concentration on the morphology of products and removal of heavy metals (hg+2, pb+2) were studied by scanning electron microscopy images and batch adsorption mode....

BACKGROUND Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome (CDS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NCIE) and an intracellular accumulation of triacylglycerol (TG) droplets in most tissues. The clinical phenotype involves multiple organs and systems, including liver, eyes, ears, skeletal muscle and central nervous system (CNS). Mutations in ABHD5...

CdS quantum dots were grown on mesoporous TiO2 films by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction processes in order to obtain CdS particles of various sizes. AFM analysis shows that the growth of the CdS particles is a two-step process. The first step is the formation of new crystallites at each deposition cycle. In the next step the pre-deposited crystallites grow to form larger aggregat...

In our present work undoped CdS and Cu doped CdS thin films were deposited on glass substrate by chemical bath method. XRD analysis of the as-prepared sample indicated CdS:Cu nanorods to be mixture of two phases namely hexagonal and cubic. It has been observed that one particular plane (100) has preferentially grown as the maximum intense peak whereas the other two planes (101) and (102) have d...

Bathochromic and hypsochromic shifts in the photo-luminescent spectra of doped and functionalized carbon nano-dots (CDs) arise due to the complex interaction between CDs and the solvent molecules around them. Nitrogen-functionalized carbon nano-dots (N-CDs) were synthesized from citric acid and urea using microwave assisted hydrothermal methods. Optical studies (absorption and photoluminescence...

A binary system composed of carbon dots (CDs) and N-doped CDs (N-CDs) embedded in an organic matrix was used for the analysis cholesterol by MALDI (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight) mass spectrometry, as a model detection small, biologically relevant molecules. The results showed that both are sensitive to can be either alone or with 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) enh...

Background. The objective of this study was to examine the epidemiology, natural history, and prognostic factors of combined hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) using population-based registry. Methods. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database (1973-2004) was used to identify cases of cHCC-CC. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate factors ass...

We introduce a micro-macro parareal algorithm for the time-parallel integration of multiscale-in-time systems. The algorithm first computes a cheap, but inaccurate, solution using a coarse propagator (simulating an approximate slow macroscopic model), which is iteratively corrected using a fine-scale propagator (accurately simulating the full microscopic dynamics). This correction is done in pa...

A novel eco-friendly effort has been made for the synthesis of cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles using bacterial biomass. Although some articles have been reported on CdS nanoparticles synthesis by bacteria, here we have synthesized CdS nanoparticles using nonpathogenic bacteria Bacillus licheniformis MTCC 9555. UV-Vis spectroscopy was carried out to confirm the formation of CdS nanoparticles...

BACKGROUND Many informatics studies use content analysis to generate functional requirements for system development. Explication of this translational process from qualitative data to functional requirements can strengthen the understanding and scientific rigor when applying content analysis in informatics studies. OBJECTIVE To describe a user-centered approach transforming emergent themes de...
