role of labor induction has increased in the last decade due to the ‎early detection of fetal jeopardy. although very useful, oxytocin alone is not always successful for induction of ‎labor. in a randomized clinical ‎trial we compared vaginal dinoprostone plus oxytocin with oxytocin alone for ‎induction of labor in 91 ‎pregnant women at 40 weeks or greater gestation with bishop scores ≤ 4. fort...

Oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) is very important, owing to its use in fuel cells. Modification of electrodes surfaces is an excellent way to decrease the overpotentials as well as to increase the current density of the voltammetric response.pt as most efficient metal catalyst can easily be poisoned by product of oxidation and also it has high cost. In this work an efficient and low cost elect...

a carbon-past electrode modified with iron(ii) phathalocyanine (fepc) was used as a sensitive potentiometric sensor for determination of 2-pyridinethiol (2pt). 2-mercaptoethanol (2me) and sulfide ion in aqueous solutions. the modified electrode acts as an electrocatalyst for oxidation of these compounds, and lowers the overpotential for oxidation reactions by more than 400 mv, compared to the u...

a carbon paste electrode modified with cobalt (ii) phthalocyanine (copc) was used as a sensitive potentiometric sensor for determination of ascorbic acid in aqueous solutions. the potential response of the electrode is a linear function of ascorbic acid concentration over the range 5 10 to 10 m (?1- 1800 µg ml ) with a nernstian slope of 56 mv at ph 7. the limit of detection was 0.2 µg ml ascor...

in this work we introduce a practical use of synthesized schiff base metal complex in sensing application. a new perchlorate-selective electrode based on the complex n, n'-4-nitro-phenylmethanebis-(salicylaldiminato) copper (ii) [cul] as the membrane carrier was developed. the electrode exhibits a good  nernstian slope of -55.0 ± 1.0 mv/decade and a linear range of  for perchlorate. the limit o...

a flow injection method is reported for the determination of ascorbic acid based on amperometric detection, using a cobalt(ii) phthalocyanine (copc) modified graphite-epoxy electrode. the amperometric respons was evaluated with regard to ph, ionic strength of the electrolyte, flow rate of the carrier solution, injected sample volume and conditioning time of the electrode. the limit of detection...

a new schiff base 2-aminothiophenol furfural self assembled monolayer (sam) has been fabricated on a bare gold electrode as a novel sensor for determination of dopamine. electrochemical impedance spectroscopywas utilized to investigate the properties of the au 2-aminothiophenol furfural self assembled monolayermodified electrode (au atf sam-me) using the [fe(cn)6]3-/4- redox couple. the electro...

Abstract A comprehensive numerical model is proposed to study the influence of an axial magnetic field (AMF) on solidification behavior a Titanium-based (Ti–6Al–4V) vacuum arc remelting (VAR) ingot. Both static and time-varying AMF are examined. The 2D axisymmetric swirl includes calculating electromagnetic thermal fields in entire system composed electrode, plasma, ingot, mold. combination vec...
