BACKGROUND: Patients who have undergone tracheostomy may feel weak, perceive a change in their health status, and have difficulty performing activities of daily living (ADL) following hospital discharge. PURPOSE: To ...

In this study, viscoelastic damped dynamic behaviors of laminated composite shells (LCS) under different dynamic loads were investigated. In order to obtain better numerical stability, the truncated series method was used ...

We investigated the hepato-protective effects of thymoquinone (TQ) and beta-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA). We used five groups of 8-week-old male rats: untreated control group, streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic group, STZ + TQ ...

New ruthenium chelate and ruthenate complexes were synthesized through the reaction of benzimidazolium salts and [RuCl2(p-cymene)](2) in toluene and characterized by elemental analysis, H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. ...

The number of optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations in substance use disorders is gradually increasing. However, OCT findings in opioid use disorder (OUD) have not yet been investigated. In this study, we compared ...

Background: Full urineanalysis is a simple and in expensive test that can be easily performed in almost all laboratories and provides extremely useful information. This study aimed to examine whether urinary pH has any ...

Hollow spheres of nickel oxide (NiO) and silver, gold, and platinum nanoparticle loaded NiO composites were successfully produced by using polystyrene (PS) latexes as hard template. Due to the presence of tertiary amine ...

The aim of this study is to highlight the use of polystyrene (PS) latexes stabilized with block copolymers as a hard template in the production of metal oxide hollow spheres. PS latexes produced by dispersion polymerization ...

In this study, a dc system was added to the IEEE 33-bus radial distribution system (RDS) test system using voltage-source converters (VSCs), and a hybrid ac/dc system was designed. For this designed system, a load flow ...

The present paper reports a facile in situ synthesis strategy for the production of MnFe2O4@PDA-Ag magnetically recyclable core-shell nanospheres by the deposition of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to the surface of MnFe2O4@PDA ...
