Abstract:

      Determination of blood compatibility is an important problem in blood contacting devices. In this study, two classes of materials including polyurethane (based on polyethylene glycol and poly tetrametylene oxide) and polyvinyl alcohol samples, with different hydrophilicity properties were synthesized and their physico-chemical properties were compared. Water uptake ratio, FTIR spectroscopy, and contact angle measurement were conducted. In vitro biocompatibility experiments were undertaken using L-929 fibroblast cell lines which demonstrated desired cell viability for all samples after 7 days. The adhesion of platelets from human plasma was studied by optical microscopy. Blood coagulation time were also determined which revealed polyurethane based poly tetramethylene oxide has better interaction by blood elements among all samples.

on the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning

the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
