Nd-doped TiO2 nanoparticles of different concentration are synthesized using a wet chemical route, followed by structural, optical and magnetic property examination. X-ray diffraction of the Nd-doped samples exhibits a tetragonal type anatase crystal structure similar to that of the pure TiO2. Crystallite size and strain of the nanoparticles are ca...

Asymmetry has been proved to exist in the human brain structure, function and behavior. Most of the existing brain asymmetry findings are originated from the western populations, while studies about the brain structural and functional asymmetries in East Asians are limited. Extensive evidence suggested that cultural differences, e.g. education and ...

The extraction of accurate geometric measurements from images normally requires the use of metric cameras and stereoscopic observations. However, as good-quality digital cameras are widely available in mobile devices (smartphones, tablets), there is great interest to develop alternative approaches, suitable for these devices. This paper presents a ...

Behavioral and brain imaging studies speak to commonalities between reading and math. Here, we investigated relationships between individual differences in reading and math ability (single word reading and calculation) with brain anatomy (cortical thickness and surface area) in 342 participants between 6–22 years of age from the NIH Pediatric MRI D...

Numerous health studies have linked the exposure to particulate matter with adverse health effects, while there is an increasing scientific interest in the particle metrics of surface area (SA) and lung-deposited SA (LDSA) concentration. In the present study, two integrated SA estimation methods, both based on widely used instrumentation, were appl...

It is still unclear whether the structural abnormalities in Bipolar disorder (BD) are static or progressive. We aimed to compare differences in cortical thickness, surface area, and volume between patients with BD and healthy volunteers (HV) and to examine whether there are differences between patients who have had a single manic episode and those ...
Metal-organic frameworks built from [Fe3(μ3-O)(COO)6] clusters and fumaric acid ligand, the so-called MIL-88 A(Fe) is a well-known environment-friendly promising material for many applications. In this paper, three different morphologies of MIL-88 A(Fe) such as rod, diamond and spindle have been synthesized separately by reacting FeCl3•6H2O and fum...

The clinical significance of acetabular retroversion in non-dysplastic hips can be explained as pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), whereas that in dysplastic hips is not clarified because FAI normally poses little problems for dysplastic hips. We aimed to evaluate three-dimensional (3D) femoral head coverage in dysplastic hips with and...

Usually, nitrogen and argon adsorption–desorption isotherms are used at their respective boiling points for the determination of specific surface area via the BET theory of microporous materials. However, for ultra-micropores, where nitrogen and argon cannot access at cryogenic temperatures, the CO2 adsorption–desorption isotherms have been conside...
Abstract: The Erlenmeyer flask deformity is a common skeletal modeling deformity, but current classification systems are binary and may restrict its utility as a predictor of associated skeletal conditions. A quantifiable 3-point system of severity classification could improve its predictive potential in disease. Ratios were derived from volumes of...
