The expression of the anti-apoptotic molecules Bcl-2 and transforming growth factor-beta 1 is known to confer protective effects on the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. The current study investigated the expression levels of Bcl-2 and transforming growth factor-beta 1 in response to multiple pre-ischemia electro-acupuncture at acupoints Zusanli (ST36) and Fengchi (GB20) stimulation. Rats w...

The physical mechanisms responsible for the electrical orientation and electrical rotation of metal nanowires suspended in an electrolyte as a function of frequency of the applied ac electric field are examined theoretically and experimentally. The alignment of a nanowire in an ac field with a fixed direction is called electro-orientation. The induced constant rotation of a nanowire in a rotati...

Purpose: Some anesthetic drugs are known to have influence on circulation due hemorheological effects.We aimed investigate the possible effects of ketamin-xylazine anesthesia, which is extensively used inexperimental animal laboratories parameters.Materials and methods: Adult, male Wistar-Albino rats were divided into two as control (pre-anesthesia)and post-anesthesia (n=17). Ketamin-HCl/Xylazi...

As oil fields age, artificial lift systems are required to maintain production levels when reservoir pressures get too low. Failure of an ESP in a well can stop production or even lead to a dangerous event. ESPs are fitted with downhole monitoring units that transmit streams of data back to the surface including: motor temperature, pump intake pressure, intake temperature motor vibration, and m...

The paper introduces an electro-mechanical transducer finite element (EMT) for the strongly coupled simulation of micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) devices in the commercial finite element analysis (FEA) package ANSYS.

I introduce a new field: electro-photonics, where the best of the electronic and photonic technologies are combined to increase the capacity, flexibility and energy efficiency of communications systems. OCIS codes: (060.0060) Fiber optics and optical communications; (070.2025) Discrete optical signal processing; (130.0250) Optoelectronics; (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (130.4110) Modula...
