the main objective of this paper is to examine the effect of nanomaterials on mass transfer coefficient in bubble type absorption of carbon dioxide by experiment. the absorption process is carried out in a bubble column and in room temperature. mass transfer coefficient, saturated concentration of co2, and gas holdup are determined in this system. the kinds of nanomaterials, the concentrations ...

PURPOSE We evaluated the magnetic resonance (MR) features of breast lesions showing circumscribed mass on mammography to understand the characteristics that differentiate malignancy and benignancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our institutional review board approved the study, and informed consent was waived. Using logistic regression analysis, we examined morphologic and kinetic MR imaging data of ...

A major limitation in quantitative analysis with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is represented by the so-called matrix effects in which the matrix coextracted with the analytes can alter the signal response, causing either suppression or enhancement, resulting in poor analytical accuracy, linearity, and reproducibility. In the direct electron ionization liquid chromatography...

A 72-year-old woman with a medical history of hypertension, hyperuricemia, dyslipidemia and a transient ischemic attack was referred to our department due to a casual disclosure of an intracardiac mass during a transthoracic echocardiography. Transesophageal echocardiography con rmed the diagnosis, demonstrating a spheroid mass with echo-dense smooth borders with a heterogeneous echo density at...

To characterize imaging features of pure DCIS on dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging (DCE-MRI), 31 consecutive patients (37-81 years old, mean 56), including 2 Grade I, 16 Grade II, and 13 Grade III, were studied. MR images were reviewed retrospectively and the morphological appearances and kinetic features of breast lesions were categorized according to the ACR BI-RADS breast MRI lexicon. DCE...

We show that in order to calculate correctly the spin current carried by a quasiparticle in an electron liquid one must use an effective "spin mass" m(s) that is larger than both the band mass m(b), which determines the charge current, and the quasiparticle effective mass m(*), which determines the heat capacity. We present two independent estimates of the spin mass enhancement, m(s)/m(b), in t...

The seesaw enhancement of the bi-large mixings are discussed for the two zero textures of the neutrino mass matrix. There are no large mixings in both Dirac neutrino mass matrix mD and right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrix MR, however, the bi-large mixing is realized via the seesaw mechanism. We present twelve sets of mD and MR for the seesaw enhancement and discuss the related phenomena, ...

graphene oxide was prepared using modified hummers method. stable ethylene-glycol nanofluids containing graphene oxide nanosheets were provided. nd: yag pulsed laser was applied to prepare reduced nanofluids. experimental results revealed that thermal conductivity of the nanofluids is increased with increasing the concentration of graphene oxide (go) in ethylene glycol. the enhancement ratio of...

We report a case of predominantly cystic synovial sarcoma partly adherent to the hyoid bone in the submental area. The mass demonstrated posterior acoustic enhancement at sonography and a complex cystic mass with mural nodules and solid septa at CT.

MR showed an enhancing mass in the pineal region and hydrocephalus and leptomeningeal enhancement, thought to indicate pinealoblastoma with leptomeningeal spread. During resection there was no evidence of spread, and repeat MR showed no residual tumor or meningeal enhancement, so the patient was not treated for metastasis. Because there were no signs of leptomeningeal tumor 4 months after surge...
