In six normal volunteers maintained on a constant dietary intake, serial studies were made of plasma renin activity, blood volume, aldosterone secretion and sodium balance, first following dietary and diuretic-induced depletion of sodium and blood volume, then following a period of sodium repletion during a maintained reduction in blood volume, and finally after blood volume repletion. In the f...

this study presents a comparison between aluminum and iron plate electrodes on phosphate removal from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation process. the effectiveness of main operational parameters such as initial ph, initial phosphate concentration and current density were examined. in addition, treated solution and sludge characteristics, energy consumption and electrode mass depletion were...

Maintenance of metabolic alkalosis generated by chloride depletion is often attributed to volume contraction. In balance and clearance studies in rats and humans, we showed that chloride repletion in the face of persisting alkali loading, volume contraction, and potassium and sodium depletion completely corrects alkalosis by a renal mechanism. Nephron segment studies strongly suggest the correc...

the present experiment was designed to access the effects of methylmercury chloride ( mehgcl) on antioxidant status, protein concentration, lipid peroxidation and hydroperoxidation in brain parts, spinal cord, lung, heart and pancreas of rats. twenty male wistar rats (3 months old) were divided in saline controls (c) and mehgcl-treated group (mmc). treated rats were intoxicated with mmc at a do...

Podocyte depletion plays a major role in the development and progression of glomerulosclerosis. Many kidney diseases are more common in older age and often coexist with hypertension. We hypothesized that podocyte depletion develops in association with older age and is exacerbated by hypertension. Kidneys from 19 adult Caucasian American males without overt renal disease were collected at autops...

The Multiscale Finite-Volume (MSFV) method has been recently developed and tested for multiphase-flow problems with simplified physics (i.e. incompressible flow without gravity and capillary effects) and proved robust, accurate and efficient. However, applications to practical problems necessitate extensions that enable the method to deal with more complex processes. In this paper we present a ...

in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and methanol foliar application on some quantitative and qualitative traits of soybean (cv. viliamz), a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design at the faculty of moghan research farm in 2011. treatments were three levels of drought stress based on irrigation at depletion of 40, 55 and 70 percent of availabl...

This paper presents a new ?-Ga2O3 Junctionless double gate Metal-Oxide-Field-Semiconductor-Effect-Transistor (?DG-JL-FET) with an embedded P+ packet at the oxide layer (PO-?DG-JL-FET) for high-frequency applications. Our goal is to achieve efficient volume depletion region by placing of silicon. We show that proposed structure has subthreshold swing ? 64 mV/decade. It suppressed band-to-band tu...
