In this report, we successfully fabricated the colloidal crystal (CC) gel films of silica microparticles combined with a temperature-responsive biocompatible hydrogel poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (VCL). When CC VCL film was prepared by filling precursor into void space between particles film, followed thermal polymerization, Bragg reflection peak red-shifted from 475 nm to 535 due change refractive...

Constellation Constrained (CC) capacity regions of two-user SISO Gaussian Multiple Access Channels (GMAC) are computed in this paper for several Non-Orthogonal and Orthogonal Multiple Access schemes (abbreviated as NO-MA and O-MA schemes respectively). For NO-MA schemes, a metric is proposed to compute the angle(s) of rotation between the input alphabets such that the CC capacity regions are ma...

The IR low-temperature Ar and Kr matrix spectra of l-isoserine were registered for the first time and interpreted by means of the anharmonic DFT frequencies calculated at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ and B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ levels. 54 l-isoserine conformers were predicted to be stable at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level. Population of the 8 most stable conformers was based on the QCISD/aug-cc-pVDZ energies, ...

Collaborative consumption (CC) is a form of sharing in which participants jointly conduct services thereby creating variety benefits ranging from economic to social. CC has been widely studied the hospitality industry, but yacht charter have not examined within this concept. Customer-to-customer interaction, an important element value-creation process, discussed together with CC. The purpose st...

Introduction: Interhemispheric transmission of signal is done by corpus callosum (CC) as the largest fiber tract in brain. CC comprised 5 segments of rostrum, genu, body, isthmus, and splenium. Contradictory reports exist about sexual dimorphism of CC. We designed this study to assess probable sexual differences of CC and its different parts in men and women. Methods: We analyzed magnetic reso...

This work presents a new group analysis for functional MRI of human brain activation. The two-threshold correlation (TTC) method determines two statistical thresholds by estimating the noise distribution underlying the summed histogram of correlation coefficients (CC) from all sections and subjects. The probabilistic CC thresholds (p<0.0001 for the identification of highly significant activatio...

The mouse is the most extensively used mammalian model for biomedical and aging research, and an extensive catalogue of laboratory resources is available to support research using mice: classical inbred lines, genetically modifi ed mice (knockouts, transgenics, and humanized mice), selectively bred lines, consomics, congenics, recombinant inbred panels, outbred and heterogeneous stocks, and an ...

OBJECTIVE this study was aimed at characterizing the craniofacial structures, i.e. the facial skeleton, cranial base, dentition, pharyngeal airway space, and the hyoid bone position, in healthy preschool children without sleep-related breathing disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS from lateral cephalometric radiographs taken of 92 children for diagnostic purposes, 45 were selected for the present ...
