At the heart of all Hulya Kirkici's work is a commitment to solving humanity's problems. This was instilled in her by family at very young age and has grounded throughout career pioneering research electrical insulation aerospace space power systems, lasers, plasma physics, beyond. Long before becoming PhD, IEEE Fellow, Eric 0. Forster Distinguished Service Award recipient (and many more accola...

Hagfish have an unusual circulation with intravascular pressures that are lower than those in other vertebrates (Davie et al. 1987; Forster, 1989) and since peripheral resistances appear similar to those of teleost fishes (Rood, 1979; Elger, 1987), it follows that blood flow rates will also be lower. One might therefore predict that the relatively low haematocrits in hagfish (Johansen et al. 19...

Since the description of 'alveolar-capillary block' by Austrian, McClement, Renzetti, Donald, Riley, and Cournand (1951), impairment of diffusion across the alveolar-capillary membrane has been regarded as an important factor in the production of low arterial oxygen saturations in patients with diffuse pulmonary disease. However, Luchsinger, Moser, Buhlmann, and Rossier (1957) suggested that re...

background: considering suggested formula in the references and pcwp measured by catheterism, in the present study the relation between pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (pcwp) measured the flow velocity of mitral valve and mitral annulus motion through tissue doppler imaging is evaluated methods: 52 cases of severe ms were admitted for balloon mitral valvolotomy (bmv) are included in this stu...

almonds are self incompatible, the incompatibility being controlled by a multi allelic (s-alleles) single gene. the incompatibility alleles were studied in 96 samples of wild almonds and related prunus species from 10 taxonomic groups. polymerase chain reactions were carried out with six primer sets including: three degenerate primer pairs (paconsi-f(fam)/em-pc1consrd, paconsi-f(fam)/em-pc3cons...
