objective: to determine the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (dvt) in patients undergoing spinal surgeries receiving prophylactic doses of deltaparin in a single center in central iran. method: this cross-sectional study was conducted in shariatee hospital of isfahan during a 12-month period. we included all the patients undergoing elective spinal surgeries in our center during the study perio...

styrene polymerization through frp and atrp methods was carried out at 110oc, while in-depth studies were performed by monte carlo simulation.the changes in monomer conversion, initiator concentration, average molecular weight, and polydispersity index were computed over the course of the polymerization. as the results indicate, compared to atrp, the frp reaches higher conversion in a similar r...

there are described nanocomposites based on ultra high molecular weight polyethylene and graphite nanoplates prepared by in-situ polymerization method. it is carried out a comprehensive study of electric properties of these composites, including direct current (dc) and alternating current (ac) properties. there is explored dependence of the conductivity and dielectric permeability on filler con...

I.F. Uchegbu et al. (eds.), Fundamentals of Pharmaceutical Nanoscience, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4614-9164-4_2, © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013 Abstract Low molecular weight amphiphile micelles are formed from the selfassembly of comparatively hydrophilic amphiphiles (molecular weight <1,500 Da). These structures may be spherical or present as nanofi bres in the case of peptide amphiph...

the arithmetic mean roughness, ra, values were determined by scanning electron microscopic technique of different core models (furazolidone, nitrofurantoin and acetyl salicylic acid), coated by hpmc film forming solution containing 10 wt% of various molecular weight pegs. the results showed that both plasticizer molecular weight and core surface free energy could have a significant influence on...

polyacrylontrile synthesis, via atom transfer radical polymerization, is studied in various initiator concentrations, transitional metal catalyst and different concentrations of cubr2. the variations of monomer conversion and the lin-earity of semi-logarithmic kinetic profile which is the evidence of living polymerization and constant radical concentration in the reaction medium, were revealed ...
