Hydraulic conductivity variations around the boreholes in uniformly graded sands for cyclic water injection pressure have been evaluated by laboratory tests. Prototype laboratory devices have been designed and constructed for this research. The cell has a capability to model the well, the boundary condition and to measure the hydraulic conductivity. While increasing water injection pressure, hy...

Self-Plugging Microneedles In article number 2102599, Jeong Hun Kim, WonHyoung Ryu, Ali Khademhosseini, and co-workers, develop self-plugging microneedles (SPM) for intravitreal injection. Once injected, the end of SPM is swollen to seal incision due injection rest delivers drugs desired duration. Unlike general injections, doesn't need additional sealing procedures, so this manner lowers possi...

Fault injection provides a method of assessing the dependability of a system under test. Traditionally fault injection is employed near the end of the design process after hardware and software prototypes have been developed. In order to eliminate costly re-designs near the end of the design process, a methodology for performing fault injection throughout the design process is described in this...

background: cataract extraction surgery remains the most commonly performed eye surgery by ophthalmologists. the maintenance of mydriasis is required throughout surgery to allow better visualization of the surgical field and a greater working space within the center of the eye. non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (nsaids) have their effect in maintaining mydriasis by their ability to inhibit...

conclusions garlic powder consumption can reduce blood pressure, yet in this model, it did not have an effect on the interaction between renin angiotensin system and nitric oxide inhibition. results at the beginning and at the end of experiments, systolic blood pressure was higher in the hypertensive groups than the normotensive group. however, at the end of the study, diastolic blood pressure ...

In recent decades, chemical surfactants have significantly been utilized in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process and researchers still a distinctive look to applications of these chemicals. this study, Hexadecyl-tetra Methyl Ammonium Bromide (henceforth; HTMAB) Hexadecyl-Amino-Benzene Sulfonic Acid HABSA) were used as derive relative permeability curves for carbonate rocks. To end, the contact a...

On the night before the surgery, she was given tablet ranitidine 150mg and tablet alprazolam 0.5mg, as per our routine protocol. On the day of surgery, she was wheeled to the operation theater, her intravenous line was put and ringer lactate infusion was started. Monitoring included 5-lead electrocardiography, pulse oximetry, non-invasive blood pressure and end-tidal carbondi-oxide concentratio...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the work is to evaluate the effect of repeated intracavernosal self-injection of vasoactive drugs in patients with elevated End Diastolic Velocity (>5 cm/sec) during pharmacopenile duplex ultrasonography (PPDU). METHODS Duplex evaluation was performed to the patients on self-injection therapy for comparison of end diastolic velocity and resistive index before and after...

Glycation and fluorescence at 440 nm (excitation at 370 nm) were found to be increased in immunoglobulin G (IgG) from diabetics, strongly indicating the presence of IgG-linked advanced glycosylation end products. In contrast, levels of IgG-linked advanced glycosylation end products were low or undetectable in both normal and diabetic subjects when an advanced glycosylation end products specific...
