purpose : to determine the distribution of iris colors in the population of tehran and to assess possible associations between iris color and ocular disorder methods : through a stratified random cluster sampling approach, 160 clusters were selected in different municipality districts of tehran, and the approached households were invited to a clinic. after the initial interview, all participant...

Papillary tumors of the bile ducts are intraductal tumors with numerous minute frondlike papillary projections. Some intraductal papillary tumors of the bile ducts produce a large amount of mucin that disturbs bile flow and causes severe biliary dilatation. In the presence of a tumor of this subgroup, the entire biliary tree is dilated; segmental or lobar bile ducts are dilated disproportionate...

Background The anatomy of the nipple has become clinically relevant. Diagnostic techniques access the breast through nipple ducts and surgeons offer nipplesparing mastectomy. There is variation in the number of ducts reported and little is known about the spatial location of ducts, their size, and their relationship to orifices on the surface. Methods Nipple specimens were taken from 129 consec...

Carbon capture is one of the recently raised technologies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Adsorption was introduced as an energy-efficient carbon process, and literature primarily shows utilization circular cross-sectional adsorption beds for this purpose. In regard, paper investigates different shapes adsorbent determine thermal uptake enhancements. Three geometries are considered: circu...

The present paper deals with the prediction of three-dimensional fluid flow and heat transfer in rib-roughened ducts of square cross-section. Such flows are of direct relevance to the internal cooling system of modern gas turbine blades. The main objective is to assess how a recently developed variant of a cubic non-linear model (proposed by Craft et al. (1999)), that has been shown to produce ...
