background: induced pluripotent stem cells (ipscs) can be obtained from autologous cells for therapeutic purposes. so, far, many studies have been done to produce induced pluripotent cells by transferring specific pluripotency genes using different methods. in this study, pluripotency gene expression induced by external stresses was assessed in cord blood mononuclear cells. methods: in this exp...

The advocated SphygmoCor procedure uses a radial-to-aorta transfer function with calibration on brachial instead of radial artery pressure to assess the central pulse pressure. We compared these values with carotid artery pulse pressures obtained from a validated calibration method, assuming mean minus diastolic blood pressure constant throughout the large artery tree. From 44 healthy subjects ...

an optimal design and fabrication of compressors requires flow investigation through the compressor components. flow field inside the volute is fully three dimensional and turbulent. better understanding of flow mechanism leads to improve the volute design procedure. in this research the experimental and numerical flow investigation through a radial flow compressor volute are performed to recog...

In this study, we have investigated the form of velocity and pressure functions a fluid oscillating between two parallel glass sheets that circular Hele-Shaw cell. The flow has been considered to be radial, incompressible laminar. time-dependent Navier-Stokes equation solved in cylindrical coordinates using Fourier transform, across thickness cell obtained at different times. function unsteady ...

BACKGROUND Simultaneous measurement of ascending aorta and radial artery pressure shows that mean and diastolic pressures (DP) are in close agreement in normotensive adults, while systolic pressures (SP) are not. However, in the aortic pressure wave, a second systolic peak appears with increasing age and increases to represent the SP by age 32 yr, while in the radial artery, a second systolic d...

for the characteristics of horizontal fractures in shallow low-permeability oil layers after hydraulic fracturing in multilayer reservoirs, horizontal fractures are taken equivalent to an elliptical cylinder with the reservoir thickness using the equivalent permeability model; then, upon the elliptic seepage theory, the seepage field which has led by a vertical well with horizontal fractures is...

This study investigates geometrical non-linear analysis of composite circular cylindrical shells under external pressure over part of their surfaces and also shells subjected to combined axial compression and triangular external pressure. Donnell non-linear shell theory along with first order shear deformation theory (FOSD) are adopted in the analysis. In the case of combined axial compression ...
