• The correlation of molecular shape and conformations with the Ntb phase transitional properties was investigated. onset transition temperatures turned out to be very sensitive these structural features. Observed differences were attributed changes in bend, which is only difference among dimers. In view importance features, particularly curvature, that form basis for appearance stabilization t...

PURPOSE To determine whether spiral CT angiography allows accurate, quantitative evaluation of anatomic abnormalities, including detection of additional lesions, delineation of plaque morphology, and estimation of degree of internal carotid artery stenosis. METHODS Spiral CT angiography with a maximum intensity projection technique was compared with selective digital subtraction angiography (...

Only 40 of the 359 nucleotides of Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid (PSTVd) represent the virulence-modulating (VM) region. Minor sequence variations in this domain distinguish mild from severe and even necrotic strains. Our recent hypothesis (Owens RA et al., 1996, Virology 222:144-158) that these differences result in varying degrees of bending of this part of the molecule could be tested experimen...

A series of computational fluid dynamics–discrete element method (CFD-DEM) simulations were applied to seed flow in horizontal-vertical 90-degree elbows. The performance one-way and two-way CFD-DEM coupling methods was compared. Additionally, simulated velocities compared the current pneumatic conveying theory for each method. Simulated field peas (Pisum sativum) pneumatically conveyed study ef...

In this paper, submerged vanes were placed at the upstream area of a bridge pier located at the 90 degree angle. Then, using the laboratory equipment, a study of flow pattern was conducted throughout the bend, specifically around the pier and submerged vanes. ADV velocimeter was incorporated in order to help measure 3D velocity components. Submerged vanes were installed at distances of 40 and 6...

objective: to compare the efficacy of ceftriaxone plus ofloxacin or azithromycin for cases of pelvic inflammatory disease (pid). materials and methods:   this clinical terial was performed on 180 women with pid from march 2005 to march 2007 in parastarane-shahed hospital. patients with pid were randomly divided to receive injection of ceftriaxone 250 mg plus ofloxacin 200 mg per day or azithrom...
