the purpose of this study is to provide a model for performance evaluation of sepah bank branches by using partial indicators through combining controllable and uncontrollable potential variables with performance variables. with description and expansion of performance concepts of branches, a complete list of pre-test variables, including forty nine potential variables and five performance vari...

A THEROSCLEROSIS, fibrous proliferation, or primary dissecting aneurysm of main renal arteries or their primary branches may cause hypertension and can alter renal blood flow, filtration rate, sodium excretion, and water reabsorption." 2 Mechanisms of the changes in sodium and water transport are not fully understood; they may include decreases in intrarenal arterial pressure, glomerular filtra...

PURPOSE. This study investigates the influence of sublingual nitroglycerin spray on the lumen diameter, number of side branches visualized, average vessel length shown on 3.0-T contrast-enhanced whole-heart coronary magnetic resonance angiography (WH-CMRA). BACKGROUND. Organic nitrates are potent vasodilators that dilate both normal and abnormal coronary arteries by relaxing vascular smooth mus...

The lifespan of plants ranges from a few weeks in annuals to thousands of years in trees. It is hard to explain such extreme longevity considering that DNA replication errors inevitably cause mutations. Without purging through meiotic recombination, the accumulation of somatic mutations will eventually result in mutational meltdown, a phenomenon known as Muller's ratchet. Nevertheless, the life...

1. the oesophageal plexus is in the structure and arrangement of its larger branches constant. ·2 . two trunks arise from the oesophageal plexus, the . anterior vagal trunk and the posterior vagal trunk; each trunk contains fibers of both left and right vagi nerves. 3. these vagal trunks in the majority of instances pass through the oesophageal opening of the diaphragm each in the form of the o...
