The aim of the present study was to examine the messenger RNA expressions of the endothelin and angiotensin systems during the periovulatory phase in gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH)-treated cows. Ovaries were collected by transvaginal ovariectomy (n=5 cows/group), and the follicles (n=5, one follicle/cow) were classified into the following groups: before GnRH administration (control, bef...

The predictive capability of two-dimensional (2-D) fully-nonlinear-potential-flow (FNPF) models of an experimental submerged moored sphere system subjected to waves is examined in this study. The experimental system considered includes both single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) surge-only as well as two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) surge-heave coupled motions, with main sources of nonlinearity from free ...

Oscillating wave surge converters (OWSCs) are a class of wave power technology that exploits the enhanced horizontal fluid particle movement of waves in the nearshore coastal zone with water depths of 10–20m. OWSCs predominantly oscillate horizontally in surge as opposed to the majority of wave devices, which oscillate vertically in heave and usually are deployed in deeper water. The characteri...

This study attempts to analyze the effect of diverse parameters peristaltic flow second grade dusty fluid through a curved configuration. Stream function conversions are used model separate system equations for dust particles and fluid. The Perturbation technique is get analytical solutions results verified graphs. It noticeable that trapped bolus, compresses both with an increase in `the param...

metal oxide surge arrester accurate modeling and its parameter identification are very important for insulation coordination studies, arrester allocation and system reliability. since quality and reliability of lightning performance studies can be improved with the more efficient representation of the arresters´ dynamic behavior. in this paper, big bang – big crunch and hybrid big bang – big cr...

background: hospital surge capacity (hsc) is essential to the successful management of expected consequences of disasters and mass casualty incidents (mcis). in mcis, an unanticipated number of sick or injured people refer to the hospital, and thus, the hospital is faced with a significant increase in the burden of necessary activities and services. therefore, managing the process in order to m...

Morning blood pressure (BP) surge is reported as a risk factor for cardiovascular events and end-organ damage independent of the 24-h BP level. Controlling morning BP surge is therefore important to help prevent onset of cardiovascular disease. We compared the efficacy of azilsartan and candesartan in controlling morning systolic BP (SBP) surges by analyzing relevant ambulatory BP monitoring da...
