background: fetal color doppler is important for evaluation of hypoxia in intrauterine growth restriction (iugr) fetus. objective: in this study we compare fetal and maternal color doppler with blood gas analysis to detect fetal acidosis. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study we evaluated 100 hospitalized patients with iugr for comparison of color doppler results with arterial bl...

Porous silicon was successfully prepared using metal-assisted chemical etching method. The Effect of HF/H2O2 concentration in etching solution as an affecting parameter on the prepared porosity type and size was investigated. Field emission electron microscopy (FE-SEM) confirmed that all etched samples had porous structure and the sample which was immersed into HF/H2O2 withmolar ratio of 7/3.53...

In the present paper, we have studied MHD free convective two dimensional unsteady viscous incompressible flows through a porous effect bounded by an infinite vertical porous plate with constant suction. The permeability of the porous medium fluctuates in time about a constant mean, and the viscosity of fluid is assumed to vary as a linear function of temperature. The flow is permitted under th...

Porous silicon layers have been prepared from n-type silicon wafers of (100) orientation. SEM, FTIR and PL have been used to characterize the morphological and optical properties of porous silicon. The influence of varying etching time in the anodizing solution, on structural and optical properties of porous silicon has been investigated. It is observed that pore size increases with etching tim...

The structural and electronic properties of the hydrogenated porous graphene nanoribbons were studied by using density functional theory calculations. The results show that the hydrogenated porous graphene nanoribbons are energetically stable. The effects of ribbon type and ribbon width on the electronic properties of these nanoribbons were investigated. It was found that both armchair and zigz...

Introduction: In contemporary THA there are two broad approaches to acetabular cup design and materials. One is an all-polyethylene design with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement. PMMA possesses a modulus of elasticity of about 2 GPa, which is between that of trabecular and subchondral bone. The second more popular approach, especially for active, younger patients, is the porous metal-backed ...

We review some of our recent efforts in developing upscaling methods for simulating the flow transport through heterogeneous porous media. In particular, the steady flow transport through highly heterogeneous porous media driven by extraction wells and the flow transport through unsaturated porous media will be considered. Mathematics subject classification: 65F10, 65F30.

Porous Pt-Ni-P composite nanotube arrays (NTAs) on a conductive substrate in good solid contact are successfully synthesized via template-assisted electrodeposition and show high electrochemical activity and long-term stability for methanol electrooxidation. Hollow nanotubular structures, porous nanostructures, and synergistic electronic effects of various elements contribute to the high electr...

The characterisation of porous crystalline solids often relies on single crystal X-ray diffraction, which does not give direct information about the surface of the material. Here, crystals of a porous organic cage, CC3-R, are investigated by atomic force microscopy and shown to possess two distinct gas-solid interfaces, proving that the bulk crystal structure is preserved at the porous crystal ...

Constant flux atom deposition into a porous medium is shown to generate a dense overlayer and a diffusion profile. Scaling analysis shows that the overlayer acts as a dynamic control for atomic diffusion in the porous substrate. This is modeled by generalizing the porous diffusion equation with a time-dependent diffusion coefficient equivalent to a nonlinear rescaling of time.
