abdominal wall hernias are common problems found in patients with cirrhosis because of persistently high intra-abdominal pressure. when abdominal hernias are neglected in such patients, they may become larger and could result in cosmetic problems and pressure effects that are also difficult to treat. we found a voluminous mass in the anterior abdominal wall of a 40-year-old patient with cirrhos...

background ziziphora tenuior l. known as kakuti in persian, is used in traditional medicine for fever, dysentery, uterus infection and as an analgesic. it is used also in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders as carminative, or remedy of diarrhea or nausea. major components of plant essential oil including pulegone, isomenthone, thymol, menthone, and piperitone are suggested to be respons...

background valproic acid is widely used as an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug in the treatment of epilepsy. determination of serum valproic acid is required in epilepsy therapy for efficient control of seizures. objectives in the present study, the gas chromatography method was applied to determine serum valproic acid and resulting data were compared with those obtained by high perform...

Microwave absorbing materials are usually designed to solve protection against electromagnetic interference in wireless communication systems and high frequency circuit mechanisms. In this research polystyrene (PS) nanocomposites containing various nano-fillers were successfully synthesized. The novelty of this work is comparing of three various nanostructures: non-metallic conductive graphene ...

In this paper, the dynamic simulation for a high pressure regulator is performed to obtain the regulator behavior. To analyze the regulator performance, the equation of motion for inner parts, the continuity equation for diverse chambers and the equation for mass flow rate were derived. Because of nonlinearity and coupling, these equations are solved using numerical methods and the results are ...

Abstract. The observing strategy of the Geostationary Carbon Observatory (GeoCarb), which is a “step and stare” approach, can lead to distortions in instrument spectral response function (ISRF) when there are gradients brightness across field view. These induce errors retrieved trace gases. In order minimize these errors, GeoCarb design was modified include “slit homogenizer” whose purpose scra...

In this paper, the efficiency and uniformity improvement of non-image LED illumination system with collimator, microlens array and condenser are proposed for pico-projector. The LED light is collimated to 18 degree with efficiency 99.36% by collimator. For image uniformity and flux efficiency, the doule-side microlens array and two condensers are adopted to form a homogenizer. With this homogen...

Lipid nanoemulsions and nanosuspensions are used as flavor carriers bubble stabilizers in soft drinks foods, well delivery vehicles for lipophilic drugs pharmaceutics. Common techniques their formation the high-pressure ultrasonic homogenizers. These dissipate most of input energy, which results excessive heating generation free radicals that might modify sensitive ingredients. Low energy metho...

AbstractIn the present study , a novel method for the production of silk nano fibers are presented . In this way , a mechanical and easy technique is used instead of toxic and costly chemical methods . Also , the separation of silk nano fibers from the cocoon was carried out by mechanical homogenizer and probe ultrasonic homogenizer . After the preparation of silk nanofibers , the product was c...
