PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate whether CS-g-MMCs conjugate (CSM) could be a new agent to prevent the post-operative fibrosis in a rabbit model of experimental glaucoma filtration surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a randomized, controlled, masked-observer study, 40 New Zealand White rabbits underwent trabeculectomy in the right eyes and randomly received subconjunctival inject...

Recently, a new gas supply system with pressure measurements was installed in the Supersonic Molecular Beam Injection (SMBI) system on the HL-2A tokamak. The quantity of injected particles varies with parameters of SMBI has been measured. Using plasma density profile measured by the multi-channel high power DCN laser interferometer, the mean particle increment in the plasma could be calculated ...

This study is focused on a solution for the problem of suspension penetration in porous formation. Such forms basis injection profile diversion technology oil reservoir sweep improvement. A conventional model deep-bed flow was used to describe process. The slug followed by water injection, and inflow before after treatment investigated. For first time, criteria that determine effectiveness impr...

BACKGROUND There are significant gender differences in injection drug practices and relative risks involved for women who inject drug compared with men. This qualitative study aims to explore the social, contextual, and behavioral dimensions of injecting practices among women who inject drugs. METHODS Participants were selected by purposive venue-based sampling from a syringe exchange program...

diastolic phase of cardiac function is associated with lower arterial flow and hence higher concentration of intra arterially injected drug is achieved at the site of injection. it is herein postulated that drugs show higher efficacy when injected during the diastolic phase of cardiac function. it is also postulated that this benefit cannot be achieved when the drug is injected with higher rate...

increase of environmental pollution and restricted emission legislations have forced companies to produce automobiles with lower air pollutants. in this respect, discharge of blowby gases into the environment has been prohibited and their recirculation into the combustion chamber is proposed as an alternative solution. in addition, using egr technique to control and reduce nitrogen oxides in in...

a typical iranian carbonate matrix block surrounded by an open fracture was modeled in order to understand the fracture-matrix interaction and realize how to model the interaction best. the modeling was carried out by using a fine-scaled eclipse model in the single porosity mode (the fractures were explicitly modeled). the model was extended to a stack of 6 matrix blocks to understand block-to-...

co2 injection is an effective technique for improved oil recovery in light oil reservoirs, especially for water flooding abandoned reservoirs. in this study, the lower part of es1 reservoirs in pucheng oilfield was introduced as the target reservoir. by studying the minimum miscible pressure in co2 flooding, the reservoir could achieve miscible flooding. long core displacement experiments prove...
