Lanthanide-doped fluoride up-converting nanoparticles (UCNPs) represent the new class of imaging contrast agents which hold great potential for overcoming existing problems associated with traditionally used dyes, proteins ...

The present study describes sintering behaviour of hydroxyapatite (HAp) upon addition of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) (1-10 wt.%) system in inert (Ar) atmosphere. The interaction between materials and melting of LFP ...

The microstructure characteristic and dielectric properties of doped BaTiO 3 -ceramics were investigated in the light of the Clausius–Mossotti relation (CMR) which incorporates both the Curie and Curie–Weiss Laws. The ...

Processing of hybrid composites represents a challenge for engineers where the aim is to establish compatibility among several materials. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of different sizes and morphologies ...

In our recent studies we have designed fullerenol/doxorubicin nanocomposite (FNP/DOX) as the new drug nanocarrier. This research has demonstrated that this novel nanocomposite has had better implications on the liver tissue ...

Producing green and efficient energy sources is a major challenge. As a consequence, the use of photovoltaic devices for conversion of light into electricity is growing worldwide. A lot of effort had been invested to create ...

Bulk samples of pseudobrookite with an orthorhombic crystal structure were prepared by sintering a mixture of starting hematite and anatase nano powders in the weight ratio 60:40 at three different sintering temperatures ...

Objective: To determine if conventional rehabilitation program combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES) applied to the ankle dorsiflexor muscles during walking through a foot drop stimulator (FDS) would influence ...

This letter presents a class of integer codes capable of correcting single errors. Unlike Hamming codes, the presented codes are constructed with the help of a computer. Among all codes of length up to 4096 bits, a computer ...

The influence of the mechanical activation of ZnO nanoparticle fillers on the structural and electrical properties of the matrix of poly(vinylidenefluoride)-ZnO (PVDF-ZnO) films was investigated. Transmission electron ...
