Photonic band gap (PBG) dielectric fibers with hollow cores are being studied both theoretically and experimentally for use as laser driven accelerator structures.The hollow core functions as both a longitudinal waveguide for the transverse-magnetic (TM) accelerating fields and a Shoes channel for the charged particles.The dielectric surrounding th
Analyzing the Concept of Elder Neglect in Elderly Homes Using a Three-Stage Hybrid Model
Background and purpose: Neglect is amongst the deficits in family functioning in Iranian population which is caused by lack of adequate knowledge on related Nursing Pillows factors.A major problem on this issue is lack of clear definition of this term.The purpose of this study was to analyze the concept, operational definition, and empirical refere
Partial portal vein arterialization during living-donor liver transplantation: a case report
Abstract Background Hepatic artery thrombosis can lead to graft loss associated with severe hepatic infarction or bile duct ischemia.When anatomical hepatic artery reconstruction is impossible in liver transplantation or hepato-pancreatic biliary surgery, portal vein arterialization (PVA) is proposed as a salvage technique.Herein, we report our exp
Time Orientation Technologies in Special Education
A device to train children BCAA in time orientation has been designed, developed and evaluated.It is framed within a long-term cooperation action between university and special education school.It uses a specific cognitive accessible time display: Time left in the day is represented by a row of luminous elements initially on.Time passing is represe
Transformation of canola by chit33 gene towards improving resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
An endochitinase gene (chit33-cDNA) from the biocontrol fungus Trichoderma atroviride was overexpressed under the CaMV35S constitutive promoter in canola (R line BCAA Hyola 308).Transformation of cotyledonary petioles was achieved via Agrobacterium tumefaciens.The insertion of the transgene was verified by PCR and Southern blotting.The 10N transgen
