Abstract Viscosity-temperature behavior is important for the thermal recovery of bitumen: firstly, it a criterion evaluating evolution mobility with temperature, which affects oil production; and secondly, determines role bitumen in geomechanics sand reservoir. To quantitatively evaluate effect temperature on dynamic viscosity, some experimental modeling investigations were conducted. The visco...

background many people are concerned with the problems and side effects caused by increased levels of fast food (ff) consumption, especially among adolescents. several studies have assessed the problems of ff consumption particularly weight gain and obesity. however, few address the methods, strategies, and policies needed to reduce this issue. objectives this study aims to explore parent and s...

conclusions it seems that fast examination for intra-abdominal fluid in blunt trauma patients can predict intra-abdominal injuries with very high sensitivity and specificity. using the scoring system can more accurately determine the probability of the presence of abdominal injuries with a cut-off point of three. results the mean age of the patients was 29.6 ± 18.3 years and fast was positive i...

objective: diabetes mellitus is defined as a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both or insulin resistance. curcumin inhibits nf-κb signaling pathway. the aim of this study is evaluation of the effect of nano-curcumin on hba1c, fast blood glucose and lipid profile in diabetic patients. materials and methods:...

Based on a recently published theoretical model, in this work we experimentally studied the problem of gravity water drainage due to continuous steam injection into an elliptical porous chamber made glass beads and embedded metallic, quasi-2D, massive cold slab. This configuration mimics process condensation for given time period during growth stage steam-assisted (SAGD) process, method used re...
