The aim of this study is to calculate the experimental and theoretical mass attenuation coefficient some Br compounds by using transmission method. Also these values were determined total electronic section, atomic effective number, electron density Kerma. We performed calculations in direct excitation geometry. cross sections halogene measured a narrow beam good geometry high resolution Si(Li)...

Because of the existence cuttings in flow, pressure loss wellbore can increase significantly. Minimization flow greatly benefits drilling process. This work investigates most important factors to during hole cleaning It is found that, for solid–liquid, two-phase fluid rate not always proportional annular as single-phase flow. The mechanisms behind this effect are studied, and a mechanistic mode...

The annular foam breaker is one which uses the vacuum and shear force generated by the Coanda effect to break foam. Its effectiveness in destroying drilling foam has been test in wellbore flow simulation loop experimental stand. Experimental results showed that the operating pressure of the annular foam breaker should be larger than 0.6MPa and the stabilizers concentration of the foam drilling ...

Tissue-specific extracellular matrix plays an important role in promoting tissue regeneration and repair. We hypothesized that decellularized annular fibrosus matrix may be an appropriate scaffold for annular fibrosus tissue engineering. We aimed to determine the optimal decellularization method suitable for annular fibrosus. Annular fibrosus tissue was treated with 3 different protocols with T...

BACKGROUND Analyzing the determinants of systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve and consequent left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction in patients with asymmetrical septal hypertrophy requires a comprehensive 3-dimensional analysis of mitral leaflet (ML) area, papillary muscle (PM) geometry, and the distribution of left ventricular hypertrophy. METHODS AND RESULTS Real-time 3-...

OBJECTIVE Ring annuloplasty prevents acute ischemic mitral regurgitation in sheep, but it also abolishes normal mitral annular and posterior leaflet dynamics. We investigated a novel surgical approach of simple septal-lateral annular cinching with sutures to treat acute ischemic mitral regurgitation. METHODS Nine adult sheep underwent implantation of multiple radiopaque markers on the left ve...

An apparatus is designed and fabricated for conducting experiments concerning fluidized segregation to verify a proposed design concept for a more efficient comminution machine. Previous studies have found that the fines distribute the intended crushing load imposed by the machine on the particle bed; thus, the load that must be applied to crush the larger particles increases. By removing the f...

Background—Analyzing the determinants of systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve and consequent left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction in patients with asymmetrical septal hypertrophy requires a comprehensive 3-dimensional analysis of mitral leaflet (ML) area, papillary muscle (PM) geometry, and the distribution of left ventricular hypertrophy. Methods and Results—Real-time 3-di...
