a study was made of the coking of a commercial fresh sulfide ni-mo/al2o3 catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor. the catalyst was coked using different coke precursors in the gas oil under accelerated conditions at temperatures of 400 to 450°c to yield different deactivated catalysts containing 2-20 wt% c. two cases were studied; crushed catalyst without diffusional resistance and extruded pellets wit...

transcatheter aortic valve implantation (tavi) is a new therapeutic option for patients with severe aortic stenosis with unacceptable surgical risk for conventional aortic valve surgery. a bicuspid aortic valve (bav) is the most common congenital cardiac disorder (1% of the population) and currently is considered exclusion criteria for tavi, because it predicts an increased risk of adverse aort...

Background: Deficits characteristic of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), including poor attention and inhibitory control, are at least partially alleviated by factors that increase engagement of attention, suggesting a hypodopaminergic reward deficit. Lapses of attention are associated with attenuated deactivation of the Default Mode Network (DMN), a distributed brain system norm...

Introduction: Methane is one of the most widely used gases in industries with a high flammability potential. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of ventilation systems installed on methane valve pits based on hazardous areas classification. Material and Methods: This study was implemented in a steel industry in Qom Province in 2019. The tools used in this study were a DELTA OHM pitot t...

K(+) channels encoded by the human ether-à-go-go-related gene (HERG) are distinguished from most other voltage-gated K(+) channels by an unusually slow deactivation process that enables cardiac I(Kr), the corresponding current in ventricular cells, to contribute to the repolarization of the action potential. When the first 16 amino acids are deleted from the amino terminus of HERG, the deactiva...

Previous work in leakage current reduction for digital circuits can be divided into two main categories: static design-time selection of slow, low-leakage transistors for non-critical paths and dynamic deactivation of fast leaky transistors on critical paths. Leakage power is dominated by critical paths, and hence dynamic deactivation of fast transistors could potentially yield large savings. W...

Fast applications of GABA (1 mM) to nucleated and outside-out patches excised from granule neurons in cerebellar slices from developing rats evoked currents with a double exponential time course reminiscent of that of IPSCs. A neurosteroid 3alpha, 21dihydroxy-5alpha-pregnan-20-one (THDOC) remarkably increased the slow deactivation time constant and slowed down recovery from desensitization, as ...

Introduction: Rheumatic heart disease still remains one of the leading causes of congestive heart failure and death owing to valvular pathologies, in developing countries. Valve replacement still remains the treatment of choice in such patients.The aim of this study wasto analyze the postoperative outcome of  double valve replacement (Mitral and Aortic ) in patients of rheumatic heart disease. ...
