background anthracyclines are important components of many chemotherapeutic protocols. the present study aimed to evaluate the repolarization changes in electrocardiography (ecg) which may predict drug induced arrhythmia. materials and methods in this cross-sectional study, the recorded ecgs were assessed for qt dispersion (qtd), qt corrected dispersion (qtcd), t peak to tend dispersion (tped),...

Article history: Received 7 April 2011 Received in revised form 17 September 2011 Accepted 18 September 2011 Is wind direction an adequate marker of air mass history? This review looks at the evolution of methods for assessing the effect of the origin and pathway of air masses on composition change and trends. The composition of air masses and how they evolve and the changing contribution of so...

in this study, a temperature-dependent of the dispersion coefficients is calculated from equation state.the lennard-jones lj (12-6-3) effective pair potential function and simple thermodynamic argumentwith the input pvt data of liquid metals are used to calculate the dispersion coefficients. the dispersioncoefficients ( , , ) 3 6 12 c c c are found to be a linear function of 1/t1+α , where t is...

ramadan fasting is one of the most important religious duties of muslims, that its effect on the heart has not been determined yet. our objective was to evaluate the effect of ramadan fasting on ventricular repolarization as assessed by qt interval, corrected qt interval, qt dispersion or corrected qt dispersion. sixthy healthy subjects aged 20 to 35 years were dispersion included in this study...

In this paper, a new structure is provided for the dispersion compensating photonic crystal fibers in order to broaden the chromatic dispersion and increase the dispersion compensating capability in a wide wavelength range. In the structure, putting a combination of circular holes and a star structure in the inner core clad causes the dispersion coefficient profile to be broadened, and addition...

A derivation of the Dirac equation in ‘3 + 1’ dimensions is presented based on a master equation approach originally developed for the ‘1+ 1’ problem by McKeon and Ord. The method of derivation presented here suggests a mechanism by which the work of Knuth and Bahrenyi on causal sets may be extended to a derivation of the Dirac equation in the context of an inference problem.

Measurements in atmospheric science sometimes determine universal functions, but more commonly data are collected in the form of case studies. Models are conceptual constructs that can be used to make predictions about the outcomes of measurements. Hypotheses can be expressed in terms of model results, and the best use of measurements is to falsify such hypotheses. Tuning of models should be av...
