The equations and the component-specific parameters needed for these detailed models are contained in specialized programs such as Aspen. However, for preliminary work it may be sufficient, and more convenient, to employ more simplified methods. If pressures are low, we may approximate φi ≈ 1 and f 0 i ≈ P sat i (T), where P sat i (T) is the vapor pressure of pure component i. Further, if the c...

fourteen different morphological traits in 169 and 131 cattle of oulmes-zaer and tidili, respectively were recorded and analyzed using a multivariate approach. the characters measured included heart girth, wither height, rump height, rump length, rump width, chest depth, body length, neck length, cannon circumference, ear length, ear width, head length, horn length and tail length. breed signif...

in developing countries, the domination of peripheral and dependent capitalism relations and the lack of appropriate structures and channels of attracting, this system have caused some kind of spatial-anatomic unbalances that has resulted in the appearance of single cities with national and regional prevalence. this situation is the main reason for small, medium and intermediate cities to lose ...

BACKGROUND Multivessel disease (MVD) is common in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but optimal treatment management remains undetermined. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, 602 consecutive STEMI patients with MVD were enrolled between January 1, 2010 and October 1, 2014. Three hundred and eighty-two patients underwent culprit-only revascularization an...

BACKGROUND The CvLPRIT study showed a trend for improved clinical outcomes in the complete revascularisation (CR) group in those treated with an immediate, as opposed to staged in-hospital approach in patients with multivessel coronary disease undergoing primary percutaneous intervention (PPCI). We aimed to assess infarct size and left ventricular function in patients undergoing immediate compa...

four rapeseed cultivars (hayola 401, hayola 308, rgs and option) were evaluated for some physiological traits under stress (50 % field capacity (fc) and non-stress (irrigated) conditions. the factorial set of treatments was arranged within a randomized complete block design with three replications. the collected data were analyzed using path and factor analyses. these is results showed that bas...

The analytical method for slope stability analysis requires a collapse mechanism in advance. multi-staged is generally assumed to be overall failure, whereas this kind of may suffer from local failure. However, failure rarely reported the previous research slopes, which result an overestimate stability. To end, incorporated into first time, so as develop complete approach assess multi-stage slo...

AIM Gastrointestinal stromal tumor is the most common mesenchymal neoplasia in the gastrointestinal tract and has a broad spectrum of pathological patterns and also clinical features changing from benign to malignant. Although the well-characterized parameters to predict the outcome have been the size and the mitotic index of the tumor in the patients with early-staged disease, bulky recurrent ...
