while most tinnitus cases have some degree of hearing impairment, a small percent of the patients admitted to ear, nose and throat clinics or hearing evaluation centers are those who complain of tinnitus despite having normal hearing thresholds. present study was performed in order to better understanding of the probable causes of tinnitus and to investigate possible changes in the cochlear and...

abstract: â in this study, the change in the crystalline structure of gas hydrate was predicted for ternary mixture of methane-ethane-water. for this purpose, the tangent plane distance (tpd) minimization method was used. first, the calculations were performed for the binary mixtures of methane-water and ethane-water as the gas and liquid phases. the results show that for a binary mixture of th...

objective(s): in the present study, we investigated the effect of ischemic preconditioning (ipc) on c-myb immunoreactivity as well as neuronal damage/death after a subsequent lethal transient ischemia in gerbils. materials and methods: ipc was subjected to a 2 min sublethal ischemia and a lethal transient ischemia was given 5 min transient ischemia. the animals in all of the groups were given r...

The use of cutting fluid in manufacturing industries has now become more problematic due to environmental pollution and health related problems of employees. Also the minimization of cutting fluid leads to the saving of lubricant cost and cleaning time of machine, tool and work-piece. The concept of minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) has come in to practice since a decade ago in order to overco...

this study aimed to find an appropriate way to minimize water utility in the petrochemical and petroleum industries. for this purpose, tehran oil refinery was chosen to analyze feasibilities of regeneration, reuse and recycling in the water network. in this research, two key contaminants including cod and hardness were analyzed. amount of freshwater was reduced about 180 m3/h (53%) and 216.88 m...
