Optimal double acceptance sampling plans based on truncated life tests for Tsallis -exponential distributions.

Optimal double sampling plans for lot acceptance based on truncated life tests are derived by minimizing the expected sample size when the lifetime variable follows a Tsallis -exponential distribution. The proposed test plans significantly reduce the inspection effort with respect to the best single sampling schemes. Some tables and figures are presented to analyze the behavior of the suggested test plans.

Postpartum depression during the COVID-19 pandemic: an umbrella review and meta-analyses.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased anxiety, stress, and depression, which could have harmful consequences for pregnant women. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of postpartum depression during COVID-19 using an umbrella review and meta-analysis.

Methods: The current study followed the PRISMA guideline and utilized data from various sources such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.

Effect of functionalization on the adsorption performance of carbon nanotube as a drug delivery system for imatinib: molecular simulation study.

In this study, efficiency of functionalized carbon nanotube as a potential delivery system for imatinib anti-cancer drug was investigated. Accordingly, carboxyl and hydroxyl functionalized carbon nanotube were inspected as a notable candidate for the carriage of this drug in aqueous media. For this purpose, possible interactions of imatinib with pure and functionalized carbon nanotube were considered in aqueous media.

Evaluation of curcumin-based ophthalmic nano-emulsion on atropine-induced dry eye in mice.

Background: One of the most efficient treatments for dry eye syndrome (DES) is to use nanocarriers as a potential delivery system. We aim to evaluate curcumin in a nano emulsion formulation.

Methods: A new formulation containing 5.

A ReaxFF Potential for Modeling Organic Matter Degradation with Oxybromine Oxidants.

Oxidation of organic matter with oxybromine oxidants is ushering in a new era of enhanced hydrocarbon recovery. While these potent reagents are being tested in laboratory and field experiments, there is a pressing demand to delineate the molecular processes governing oxidation reactions at geological depth. Here, we parameterize a ReaxFF potential to model the oxidative decompositions of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons in the presence of water-NaBr solutions that contain oxybromine (BrO) oxidizers.
