EXPERIMENTS IN FLUSHING THE INTESTINAL CANAL WITH SALT SOLUTION THROUGH MULTIPLE ENTEROTOMY OPENINGS

The Association Between Salt and Potassium Intake With Multiple Sclerosis

Background: The number of patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is increasing in Iran. Studies have shown that high sodium chloride (salt) and low potassium intake are associated with the development of MS. High physiological salt concentrations can lead to the induction of Interleukin-17 (IL-17) accompanied by the excessive generation of helper T-17 cells (Th-17). This cytokine plays a critica...

Network connectivity through small openings

Network connectivity is usually addressed for convex domains where a direct line of sight exists between any two transmitting/receiving nodes. Here, we develop a general theory for the network connectivity properties across a small opening, rendering the domain essentially non-convex. Our analytic approach can go only so far as we encounter what is referred to in statistical physics as quenched...

Drilling through salt Risks associated with drilling through salt

Source: Franz Kockel et al. (1996) Geotektonischer Atlas von NVV Deutschland Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschalten und Rohstoffe, Hannover. In recent years, an increasing number of oil and gas projects involving drilling through salt have been presented by different exploration companies. It is important for underwriters, lawyers, regulators, financiers and engineers to have a clear understanding...

One dimensional simulation of flushing sediment through reservoirs

Control of sedimentation in reservoirs of dams is considered to be one of the most important issues in exploitation of dams and increasing their useful life. Reservoirs act as traps for sediments and prevent transport of sediments to the river. The deposited sediments will decrease the capacity of the reservoirs so that they cannot be in use any more. Various methods are discussed in this study...
