in this paper, formation of wrinkling in bimetal deep drawing process has been investigated by the analytical, numerical and experimental methods. the effects of width of flange, fillet radii of matrix and punch, clearance of blank holder, contact conditions and relative thickness of two sheets on the number and height of wrinkle waves are studied. clearance and contact conditions have the grea...

background: measurement of absolute or differential renal function using radiotracers plays an important role in the clinical management of various renal diseases. gamma camera quantitative methods in approximation of renal clearance may potentially be as accurate as plasma clearance methods. however some critical factors such as kidney depth and background counts are still troublesome in the u...

abstract background: clearing the endotracheal tube through suctioning should be done to promote oxygenation. depth of suctioning is one of the variables in this regard. in shallow suctioning method, the catheter passes to the tip of the endotracheal tube, and in deep suctioning method, it passes beyond the tip into the trachea or brunches. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of shallow and...

objective(s) as there are conflicting findings regarding the clearance-dose and patient characteristics relationships for valproic acid (vpa), this study was conducted to investigate the relationship between patient demographic characteristics, vpa dosage and the drug clearance in adult iranian patients. materials and methods patients (n= 47) were either on monotherapy with vpa or were under co...

objectivemycophenolate mofetil (mmf) is commonly administered concomitantly with ganciclovir for managingtransplant recipients who infected with cmv. this study was conducted to evaluate the probable effects ofganciclovir on mycophenolic acid (mpa) pharmacokinetic.materials and methodsten kidney transplant recipients who full field inclusion and exclusion criterias enrolled in this study. thefi...

objective: measurement of glomerular filtration rate (gfr) is the best determinant in assessment of kidney function for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. as extremely accurate methods of gfr measurement (i.e. inulin clearance) are expensive and time-consuming and due to limitations of the 24 hour urine collection method, some formula have been developed for the gfr measurement. here we have ...

the effective factors of forward speed, cylinder rotation, and clearance between a combine’s cylinder and concave on wheat kernel breakage and seed germination were studied in karaj area using a 955 model john dear combine. this study was conducted on three levels of adjustment for each of the variables, 1.2, 1.8 and 2.5 km/hr for forward speed, 800, 900, 1000 rpm for cylinder rotation as well ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that primarily affects the lungs and the digestive system, however, it also affects a number of other organs and systems. More than 90% of mortality of  CF patients is due to lung complications.  Healthy lungs are important for a long life for people with CF, We will discuss two important topics for maintaining respiratory health. Chronic use of drug...
