Asphaltene adsorption on reservoir rock minerals causes wettability alteration and pore plugging which subsequently reduces crude oil production. Also, it has a negative effect the efficiency of production enhanced recovery operations. In this study, extracted asphaltenes two samples Iranian fields dolomite, quartz, magnetite was investigated in two-and three-phase systems both static dynamic flow...

By taking a variety of realistic hardware imperfections into consideration, we propose an optimal power allocation (OPA) strategy to maximize the instantaneous secrecy rate of a cooperative wireless network comprised of a source, a destination and an untrusted amplify-and-forward (AF) relay. We assume that either the source or the destination is equipped with a large-scale multiple antennas (LS...

Diaminopyridine are important class of organic compounds, mostly used for synthesis of dyes, cosmetics, drugs and explosives. Recently, 2, 4-diaminopyridine was used as pharmacological agent for muscle relaxant used in anesthesia and it can increase the neuromuscular transmission in certain disease conditions. Additionally, 3, 4-diaminopyridine was used as a drug for the treatment of Lambert– E...

Previous studies have unraveled the adverse effects of man-made magnetic fields on human and animal health. Controlling hematological parameters is a useful procedure to evaluate the level of health of humans and animals that are exposed to electromagnetic fields. Due to the long-term exposure of power plant workers to strong electromagnetic fields, this research was designed and conducted to c...

Hearing reduction and hearing loss are common among the industrial workers exposed to continuous and intensive occupational noise, although they are completely preventable. Hearing protection devices are more and more widely used in modern industry, however, they are not efficient enough. That is why preventive otorhinolaryngologic examinations should regularly been performed to enable the earl...

BACKGROUND CatSper genes are a novel family of four sperm-specific calcium channels, which indicate testis-specific expression patterns. Despite the crucial role of CatSper genes in the male reproduction, very little is known about the factors that regulate their expression. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of vitamin E treatment on the expression of CatSpe...
