The main purpose of this paper is to study various configurations of a magnetorheological (MR) damper valve and to evaluate their performance indices typically dynamic range, valve ratio, inductive time constant and pressure drop. It is known that these performance indices (PI) of the damper depend upon the magnetic circuit design of the valve. Hence, nine valve configurations are considered fo...

prolapsed mitral valve syndrome is a common, benign disorder with prevalence of %0.3-6 in population. this syndrome also is known as barlows syndrome and flaapy mitral valve syndrome. prolapsed mitral valve is the dropping of one or two mitral valve leaflet(s) into the left atrium during ventricular systole. this malformation leads to incomplete closing of mitral valve and regurgitates the bloo...

The autoSCAN-3, an instrument for the automated reading and interpretation of Microscan microdilution trays, was evaluated for its ability to identify gram-negative bacilli. The results obtained by the visual reading of microdilution trays were compared with the results obtained with the machine. A total 387 clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae and nonfermenters were compared by both methods...

The computational cost of the full-scale flue gas desulfurization (FGD) tower with perforated sieve trays is too high, considering enormous scale ratio between hole at tray and relevant size tower. As a result, porous media model used to replace complex structure in this study, which has been validated for measured data both small- FGD Under lower inlet volume flow rate, simulation result four-...

background total correction of tetralogy of fallot (tof) anomaly in early childhood has been practiced in many centers with good results, but in some of patients after few years sever pulmonary valve insufficiency occurred. materials and methods at a cross- sectional study from january 2015 to january 2016, 10 patients who had history of primary repair of tof with free pulmonary insufficiency (...

repair of the mitral valve is the treatment of choice for mitral valve regurgitation when the anatomy is favorable. it is well known that mitral valve repair enjoys better clinical and functional results than any other type of valve substitute. this fact is beyond doubt regardless of the etiology of the valve lesion and is of particular importance in degenerative diseases. this review analyzes ...

mitral valve replacement (mvr) is usually performed in two methods of running and interrupted suturing. in running method, the suturing of the valve is usually with some traction on the annulus and also there is a risk of aortic valve injury. this study was conducted to evaluate a new technique for suturing to avoid these complications and decrease the time of cardiac arrest. one hundred and se...
