Background: Similar to the thermoluminescence (TL) spectra, the optical parameters variations can also be used in TL crystals for dosimetry purposes. These optical parameters can include absorption, transmission and reflection coefficients. Materials and Methods: Single crystals of KBr and KCl which have been used in this research were grown from laboratory grade extra pure precursor p...

Objectives: High prevalence of stimulants use –especially crystalline methamphetamine (crystal meth)-, which required extensive medical and rehabilitation interventions is a major problem in Iran’s health care system. Main objective of the current study was to compare social, economic and cultural factors associated with female’s tendency toward use of two main types of drugs including opium an...

Metal–organic polyhedra (MOPs) are intrinsically porous cage-like structures; however, they frequently display low porosity due to their agglomeration caused by solvent exchange and removal, which results in the blockage of pore windows. This study presents unprecedented single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation a cuboctahedral MOP-OH ([Cu24L24], H2L = 5-hydroxybenzene-1,3-dicarboxylic ac...
