Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are a completely new carbon material that are expected to become typical raw material for nanotechnology, applied to such broad fields as composite materials, electronic devices, drug delivery nanocapsules, etc. (Abrahamson & Nair, 2008; Abrikosov et al., 2005; Ahmad et al., 2006; Ajayan & Zhou, 2001; Avouris, 2002; Back & Shim, 2006; Bordjiba et al., 2008; Danilov et al....

Many people affected by debilitating neuromuscular disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), brainstem stroke, or spinal cord injury are impaired in their ability to communicate. Conventional assistive devices (e.g., letter boards, cheek or tongue switches, or eye trackers) that aim to restore communication all require muscular control, which is often lost in the progress of neurom...

recently, baghery et al. [1, 2] presented some attacks on two rfid protocols, namely yoon and jung et al. protocols, and proposed the improved version of them. however, in this note, we show that the improved version of the jung et al. protocol suffers from desynchronization attack and the improved version of the yoon's protocol suffers from secret disclosure attack. the success probabilit...

Stress-related changes in visceral perception resulting in enhanced sensitivity to physiological and/or experimental visceral stimuli along with hypervigilance are considered to play a critical role in the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (Elsenbruch et al., 2010; Mayer et al., 2008; Mulak & Bonaz, 2004; Posserud et al., 2004). Visceral hypersensitivity present in about two-thi...

The dynamics of proteins, such as their conformational change and dynamic interplay with interaction partners, is crucial to their biological functions. To reveal the dynamic behavior of proteins, single-molecule approaches are indispensable because the molecules behave in an unsynchronized manner, which makes it difficult to monitor their dynamics by ensemble average experiments. Fluorescence ...

background: breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death among the women worldwide. the risk of local and distant recurrence is the highest during the first two years following the initial treatment. very late relapse (after 12 years) is uncommon in breast cancer survivors. methods: herein, we report the characteristics and outcomes of 6 such cases of breast can...
