In this paper we present discretization and decomposition methods for a multi-component transport model of a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. CVD processes are used to manufacture deposition layers or bulk materials. In our transport model we simulate the deposition of thin layers. The microscopic model is based on the heavy particles, which are derived by approximately solving a linear...

background: estimating the burden of non-communicable diseases particularly cardiovascular disease (cvd) is essential for health management and policymaking. in this paper, we used a regression model to estimate the future impact of demographic changes on the burden of cvd in iran during the next two decades. methods: disability-adjusted life years (daly) were used to estimate the future burden...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including myocardial infarction (MI) and peripheral or coronary artery disease (PAD, CAD), remains the number one killer of individuals in the United States and worldwide, accounting for nearly 18 million (>30%) global deaths annually. Despite considerable basic science and clinical investigation aimed at identifying key etiologic components of and potential therap...

Routine exercise is widely recognized as cardioprotective. Exercise induces a variety of effects within the cardiovasculature, including decreased mitochondrial damage and improved aerobic capacity. It has been generally thought that the transient increase in oxidative stress associated with exercise initiates cardioprotective processes. Somewhat paradoxically, increased oxidative stress associ...

Cardiovascular risk can be calculated using the Framingham cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk score and provides a risk stratification from mild to very high CVD risk percentage over 10 years. This equation represents a complex interaction between age, gender, cholesterol status, blood pressure, diabetes status, and smoking. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measure of how the autonomic nervous ...

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as a promising class of with unique physical and chemical properties that offer exciting prospects for various applications. Among all the synthesis methods, vapor deposition (CVD) techniques demonstrated great advantages in large-scale production 2D controlled thickness. One main challenges growth is need high temperatures crystalline substr...

INTRODUCTION The coexistence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is frequent and might be inter-related through inflammation-related processes reflected by specific markers. Here, we studied angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4), an upcoming cardiovascular marker, in stable COPD, and its relationship to cardiovascular function with respect to well-kn...

The prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) has increased dramatically worldwide in parallel with the aging of the population. In 1995, ED was estimated to be present in more than 150 million men. Considering population aging in Western countries, estimates predict that more than 300 million men will be affected by ED by the year 2025. ED is a common and often distressing side effect of renal f...
