The hot injection synthesis of nanomaterials is a highly diverse and fundamental field chemical research, which has shown much success in the bottom up approach to nanomaterial design. Here we report synthetic strategy for production anisotropic metal chalcogenide different compositions shapes, using an optimised approach. Its unique advantage compared other routes that it employs one act as many agents: high boiling point, viscous solvent, reducing agent, surface coordinating ligand. It...
A prospective clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of cochlear implantation in adults with asymmetric hearing loss (AHL). Twenty subjects mild-to-moderate better ear and moderate-to-profound poorer underwent ear. Subjects were preoperatively at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months post-activation. Preoperative performance was unaided, traditional aids (HAs) or a bone-conduction HA. Post-activation implant (CI) alone combination contralateral HA (bimodal). Test measures included subjective benefit,...
Objective To investigate the influence of cochlear implant (CI) use on subjective benefits in quality life cases asymmetric hearing loss (AHL). Study Design Prospective clinical trial. Setting Tertiary academic center. Subjects and Methods included CI recipients with AHL (n = 20), defined as moderate‐to‐profound affected ear mild‐to‐moderate contralateral ear. Quality was assessed Speech, Spatial, Qualities Hearing Scale (SSQ) pragmatic subscales, which assess binaural benefits. Subjective...
Abstract We present two new synthetic routes for bismuth ferrite harmonic nanoparticles (BiFeO 3 HNPs). Both phase-pure and mixed phase BiFeO materials were produced after improvement of the solvent evaporation sol-gel combustion routes. Metal nitrates with a series dicarboxylic acids (tartronic, tartaric mucic) used to promote crystallization. found that longer carbon backbone hydroxyl group attached each carbon, lower annealing temperature. also demonstrate nanocrystals more readily formed...
Purpose The goal of this work was to evaluate the low-frequency hearing preservation long electrode array cochlear implant (CI) recipients. Method Twenty-five participants presented with an unaided threshold ≤ 80 dB HL at 125 Hz pre-operatively in ear be implanted. Participants were implanted a (31.5-mm) array. compared between preoperative and postoperative intervals (i.e., initial CI activation, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months after activation). Results Eight maintained postoperatively. majority ( n...
Metallic nanowires (NWs) are very interesting and important nanomaterials with unique properties a number of potential applications.
Abstract Here we report a low cost scalable synthesis of L‐alanine capped CoFe 2 O 4 magnetic nanoparticles, with excellent size tunability and properties. Samples were analyzed in details using electron microscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction vibrational sample magnetometry. The nanoparticles have demonstrated distribution, uniformity phase purity. It was found that the presence concentration ligand dramatically affects morphology resulting enabling from 120.5 to 11.3 nm. moments nanomaterials...
With the increased interest in possible adverse health effects attributed to inhalation of fine particle matter, this study was conducted gather preliminary information about workplace exposures at coal- and gas-fired power plants particles (PM1; i.e. <1 μm) ultrafine (i.e. <0.1 μm). Combustion fossil fuel is known produce particles, due their proximity durations exposure, plant workers could be a group individuals who experience high chronic these types particles. The results series...
Fuel cells have a number of benefits over conventional combustion-based technologies and can be used in range important applications, including transportation, as well stationary, portable emergency backup power systems.
