OBJECTIVE To quantify the efficacy of a series of baths containing natural radon and carbon dioxide (1.3 kBq/l, 1.6 g carbon dioxide/l on average) versus artificial carbon dioxide baths alone in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. SUBJECTS Sixty patients participating in an in-patient rehabilitation programme including a series of 15 baths were randomly assigned to two groups. DESIGN Pain i...

to assess the radiation use efficiency (rue) of different rice cultivars under transplanting (tp) and direct-sowing (ds) systems and scrutiny of weed effect, a split-plot factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2011 at haraz extension and technology development center in mahmoudabad city, mazandaran. the main plots were two plant...

The paper presents the results of synthesis bismuth superconducting ceramics with compositions Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Can-1CunOy (n=2, 3, 5) based on amorphous obtained by ultrafast melt quenching. In order to increase rate formation compounds, effective devices have been developed for melting and hardening melts under action IR radiation. sample holder was made platinum. Melting were carried out in a co...
