In a 5-week study, 120 crossbred weaning pigs (age 4 weeks) were used to examine the effects of an additional Fe-injection and immunization moment on the growth and humoral immune response. Pigs were allotted to one of eight treatments based on body weight and litter origin. Factors included: (1) single intramuscular injection (day 3 after birth) vs. double intramuscular injection (days 3 and 2...

Abstract This paper presents the first instance of a double contact discontinuity in analytical solutions for multicomponent, two-phase flow in porous media. We use a three-component system with constant equilibrium ratios and fixed injection and initial conditions, to demonstr...

This was a prospective, repeat-treatment, open-label study (NCT01251380) of abobotulinumtoxinA for the management of lower limb spasticity in children who had completed a double-blind study. Children (2-17 years) received injections into the gastrocnemius-soleus complex, and other distal and proximal muscles as required (maximum total dose per injection cycle: 30 U/kg or 1000U). A total of 216 ...

A double-achromatic, double-focusing magnet system of very small size is described which will be used in the injection line for an undulator in a FEL experiment . Because of the double focusing no quadrupoles are needed between the dipole, which couples the electrons in the FEL cavity, and the undulator. An example will be worked out for an electron bunch of 25 MeV, 100 Awhich is focused on a s...

An electrodynamic balance (EDB) of the double ring double disc type has been designed for studying single microparticles. It allows electrostatic particle injection and recovery as well as alignment of elongated particles. The stability characteristics of cylindrical fibers and their alignment in this EDB are investigated. Angular as well as translational oscillations are observed, each associa...

Double-diffusive steady convection in a partially porous cavity with partially permeable walls and under the combined buoyancy effects of thermal and mass diffusion was analysed numerically using finite volume method. The top wall is well insulated and impermeable while the bottom surface is partially well insulated and impermeable and partially submitted to constant temperature T1 and concentr...

OBJECTIVE Propofol is a new anesthetic agent in clinical practice, but randomized double-blinded prospective studies on its role in pediatric anesthesia remain limited. We aimed to compare the preventive effects of pre-injected lidocaine or ketamine and its pre-mixture on the anesthesia-induced injection pain of propofol using a randomized double-blinded prospective method, and to compare the o...

background: this double-blinded, randomized clinical trial was designed to evaluate the comparison of intravenous versus intraarticular (ia) administration of midazolam on postoperative pain after knee arthroscopy. materials and methods: in this study, 75 patients randomized in three groups to receive 75 mc/kg ia injection of midazolam and 10 ml intravenous injection of isotonic saline (group i...
