OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of photoselective prostate vapourisation with 120 w potassium titanyl phosphate laser in benign prostate hyperplasia patients receiving oral anti-coagulant therapy. METHODS The retrospective study was conducted at Istanbul Hisar International Hosptial and comprised 63 male patients who were on anti-coagulant therapy for comorbidities and who under...

In order to prevent possible charring, oxidation and (or) vaporisation of substances other than pore water, many researchers have adopted oven-drying temperature (t) values in the range 60–90°C for water content determinations peat highly organic soils. This paper investigates characteristics six very different decomposed peaty soils retrieved from south-west China t 65, 85 105°C. Based on pres...

The climate change issue has become a growing concern due to the increasing greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve carbon neutrality for mitigating problem, oxy-fuel combustion (OFC) technique on internal engines (ICEs) attracted much attention. Furthermore, water injection (WI) strategy was proven effective in improving process and thermal efficiency under OFC mode. However, WI effects gasoline ...

Eight common dialkylimidazolium-based ionic liquids have been successfully evaporated in ultra-high vacuum and their vapours analysed by line of sight mass spectrometry using electron ionisation. The ionic liquids investigated were 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethane)sulfonyl]imide, [C(n)C(1)Im][Tf(2)N] (where n = 2, 4, 6, 8), 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [C(n)C(...
