Introduction to Nuclear Engineering

Detection of microRNA-335-5p on an Interdigitated Electrode Surface for Determination of the Severity of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) refers to the enlargement of the lower artery of the abdominal aorta, and identification of an early detection tool is urgently needed for diagnosis. In the current study, an interdigitated electrode...

A Data-Centric Internet of Things Framework Based on Azure Cloud

Internet of Things (IoT) has been found pervasive use cases and become a driving force to constitute a digital society. The ultimate goal of IoT is data and the intelligence generated from data. With the progress in public cloud computing t...

Sequential generation of linear cluster states from a single photon emitter

Generating photonic cluster states using a single non-heralded source and a single entangling gate would optimise scalability and reduce resource overhead. Here, the authors generate up to 4-photon cluster states using a quantum dot coupled...

Phase 2a/b randomised placebo-controlled dose-escalation trial of triheptanoin for ataxia-telangiectasia: treating mitochondrial dysfunction with anaplerosisResearch in context

Summary: Background: Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare multisystem disease characterised by neurodegenerative cerebellar ataxia, lung disease, immune deficiency, high cancer risk, and mitochondrial dysfunction. A-T cells demonstrate de...

Application of Particle Size Distribution Engineering and Nano-technology to Cement Recipes for some Iranian Offshore Oilfields

The design of cement slurry for horizontal wellbores is challenging as it must present very high quality cement slurry properties e.g. zero free water, less than 50 cc API fluid loss value, appropriate rheology and yield point for effective...

Smart integrated nanosystems for biomedical applications:critical issues and perspectives

During the last decades the progresses of nanoscience and nanotechnology for biomedical application stimulated the transition from traditional drug delivery systems to the development of smart integrated nanosystems with stimuli-responsive ...

Advances of aptamers in esophageal cancer diagnosis, treatment and drug delivery

Esophageal cancer (EC) is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract with poor prognosis and high mortality. The early diagnosis of EC mainly depends on endoscopic diagnosis, which not only needs to bear certain economic pressure, but ...

Optimization of cationic nanoparticles stabilized by poloxamer 188: A potential approach for improving the biological activity of Aloe perryi

Aloe perryi (AP) has gained considerable interest as a medicinal herb in various biological applications due to its rich phytochemical composition. However, the therapeutic benefits of AP could be potentiated by utilizing nanotechnology. Mo...

Establishing a pure antiferroelectric PbZrO3 phase through tensile epitaxial strain

Abstract The nature of lead zirconate, the historical antiferroelectric material, has recently been challenged. In PbZrO3 epitaxial films, thickness reduction engenders competition among antiferroelectric, ferrielectric and ferroelectric ph...

Characterization and modeling of nanotips fabricated in the field ion microscope

Nanotips are considered significant elements in some of nanotechnology instruments. They are used in scanning probe microscopes and electron microscopes to characterize materials at the nano and atomic scales. Therefore, the size and profil...
