High molecular weight alginate beads with 59% mannuronic acid content or 68% guluronic acid were prepared using a droplet generator and crosslinked in calcium chloride. The alginate beads were compared to current embolisation microspheres for compressibility and monitored over 12 weeks for size and weight change at 37 degrees C in low volumes of ringers solutions. A sheep uterine model was used...

in the present paper the linear oscillator in r3 with z =constanthas been considered. the aim is to determine the necessary conditions forthe persistence of periodic solutions under discontinuous perturbations. a newapproach based on a computational method has been used. at the end weapply our method on an example.

materials and methods in a double blind randomized trial study, 100 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery were randomized to using heparinized (n = 50) or non-heparinized (normal) saline flush (n = 50) to maintain patency of arterial catheter after operation. indwelling arterial catheters were checked daily for acceptable arterial waveform for three days as primary outcome measures. resu...

OBJECTIVE WHO recommends Ringers lactate (RL) and Normal Saline (NS) for rapid intravenous rehydration in childhood diarrhea and severe dehydration. We compared these two fluids for improvement in pH over baseline during rapid intravenous rehydration in children with acute diarrhea. DESIGN Double-blind randomized controlled trial SETTING Pediatric emergency facilities at a tertiary-care ref...

we derive the formulas of the maximal andminimal ranks of four real matrices $x_{1},x_{2},x_{3}$ and $x_{4}$in common solution $x=x_{1}+x_{2}i+x_{3}j+x_{4}k$ to quaternionmatrix equations $a_{1}x=c_{1},xb_{2}=c_{2},a_{3}xb_{3}=c_{3}$. asapplications, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions forthe existence of the common real and complex solutions to the matrixequations. we give the exp...

in this paper, we obtained the 1-soliton solutions of the symmetric regularized long wave (srlw) equation and the (3+1)-dimensional shallow water wave equations. solitary wave ansatz method is used to carry out the integration of the equations and obtain topological soliton solutions the physical parameters in the soliton solutions are obtained as functions of the dependent coefficients. note t...

The endangered Wyoming toad (Bufo baxteri) is the subject of an extensive captive breeding and reintroduction program. Wyoming toads in captivity rarely ovulate spontaneously and hormonal induction is used to ovulate females or to stimulate spermiation in males. With hormonal induction, ovulation is unreliable and egg numbers are low. The sequential administration of anovulatory doses of hormon...
