comparison of plasma viscosity following administration of albumin 5% in half-normal saline versus normal saline during minor surgeries
background: we aimed to compare the effect of albumin 5% in half normal saline (half ns) versus normal saline (ns) infusion on the plasma viscosity in the near-normal physiological condition. according to the high oncotic pressure of albumin along with prolonged half-life of its molecules in comparison to ns in the intra-vascular compartment, it has been proposed that a more significant reducti...
متن کاملEvidence for fault weakness and ̄ uid ̄ ow within an active low - angle normal fault
Determining the composition and physical properties of shallowdipping, active normal faults (dips , 358 with respect to the horizontal) is important for understanding how such faults slip under low resolved shear stress and accommodate signi®cant extension of the crust and lithosphere. Seismic re ̄ection images and earthquake source parameters show that a magnitude 6.2 earthquake occurred at abo...
متن کاملFactors controlling normal fault offset in an ideal brittle layer
We study the physical processes controlling the development and evolution of normal faults by analyzing numerical experiments of extension of an ideal two-dimensional elastic-plastic (brittle) layer floating on an inviscid fluid. The yield stress of the layer is the sum of the layer cohesion and its frictional stress. Faults are initiated by a small plastic flaw in the layer. We get finite faul...
متن کاملKeeping sphingolipid levels nORMal.
L ipids are essential for life as the principal components of biomembranes. In addition, many lipids act as signaling molecules both in and outside the cell. For these structural and regulatory functions it is crucial that the abundance of different lipids is controlled in a coordinated fashion to maintain the right balance between them. Aberrations in this equilibrium could result in altered m...
متن کاملGeneralized half-normal distribution: Model and properties
In this article new generalization of half-normal distribution as the half generalized normal distribution is introduced. This distribution, contains the half-normal distribution as special case. We provide mathematical properties of this distribution. We also derive the pdf, cdf, -th moment, the asymmetry and kurtosis coefficients and the moment generating function. We discuss some inferenti...
