Hybrid plasmonic metamaterials: towards enhanced ultra broadband and wide-angle solar absorption for energy harvesting.

In this paper, we have investigated a hybrid metamaterial seven-layer solar absorber. The absorber has remarkable characteristics, including ultra-broadband perfect absorption capability, near-perfect absorption at wide angles, and insensitivity to polarization. The structure exhibits an average absorption of 98.

Metamaterial perfect absorber using elliptical nanoparticles in a multilayer metasurface structure with polarization independence.

A metamaterial perfect absorber (MPA) using elliptical silver nanoparticles is proposed and investigated to provide 100% absorption for both transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarizations with a wide range of incident angles and polarization independence. Metamaterial absorbers with narrow absorption performance over a wide frequency range are significantly desired in sensing applications. Incident angle insensitivity and polarization angle independence are key features of MPAs.

Biomarkers associated with survival and favourable outcome of radioembolization with yttrium-90 glass microspheres for colon cancer liver metastases: Single centre experience.

Objective: To determine the therapeutic effectiveness and safety of transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with Yttrium-90 in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases and to evaluate the prognostic value of different biomarkers.

The Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Job Stress among Nurses in Shiraz, Iran.

Background: Nursing is a stressful occupation, and nurses face multiple stressors daily. Emotional intelligence causes an individual to overcome environmental stresses. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence and job stress among nurses in Shiraz.

A survey of the Agrotis of Iran.

The present study reviews the genus Agrotis Ochsenheimer, 1816 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Noctuinae) in Iran from a taxonomic and faunistic point of view. An identification key of external features is presented for 16 Iranian species and subspecies. A description of each taxon is presented based on external male and female genital characteristics.
