the aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties, factor structure and kessler psychological distress scale (k-10) cut-off point on the students and prepare it as a screening tool for mental health. in this study, 500 students of tehran universities of medical sciences were selected by proportional sampling. participants responded to the kessler psychological distress scale and...

Many Large Eddy Simulation (LES) models use the classic Kessler parameterisation either as it is or in a modi®ed form to model the process of cloud water autoconversion into precipitation. The Kessler scheme, being linear, is particularly useful and is computationally straightforward to implement. However, a major limitation with this scheme lies in its inability to predict di€erent autoconvers...

Avulsions or distal transections of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon are typically repaired by direct suture of the tendon stump to the distal phalanx. The optimal repair technique to withstand in vivo rehabilitation forces is unknown. Our objective was to determine the time-zero tensile mechanical properties of 4-strand tendon-bone repair site constructs performed with 3-0 and 4-0 sutures...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate healing of experimentally severed superficial digital flexor tendons of the canine hind limb repaired by apposition using a Kessler pattern with no augmentation, or augmentation with an everted autologous venous graft or non-everted autologous venous graft. A total of 30 healthy, orthopaedically and neurologically sound mongrel dogs were used in thi...

Space is essential to our modern way of life; but as the number satellites in orbit increases, so does chance collisions and subsequent debris. This creation debris increases probability new a positive feedback loop, potentially leading runaway growth called Kessler Syndrome. To investigate this problem, simulation Low Earth Orbit has been created. Results show exponential initially decrease ca...

4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) is a peroxidation product of ˆ-6-poly-unsaturated fatty acids and exerts growth modifying as well as cytotoxic activities. This aldehyde component of oxidized lipid is increased during the aging process. In this study, to characterize the potential role of the lipid peroxidation product in aging, we studied the effects of 4-HNE on cell proliferation and activation of ce...
