YLLINE'(theophylline ethylenediamine) is one of the most useful drugs employed in the management of bronchial asthma . Its therapeutic effects are closely related to its blood level.' This should approximate from 5 to 9 mcg/ml in serum. Segal et al in 1949 demonstrated that a rectal solution of 0 .5 gm of aminophylline in 15 cc water yielded a significant degree of protection against histamine ...

OBJECTIVE Disparities in sleep duration and efficiency between Black/African American (AA) and White/European American (EA) adults are well-documented. The objective of this study was to examine neighborhood disadvantage as an explanation for race differences in objectively measured sleep. METHODS Data were from 133 AA and 293 EA adults who participated in the sleep assessment protocol of the...

Both self-report and official crime data have known limitations, leading to the critical question as to whether inferences about the adolescent life-course of crime are different across these data sources. Using both official and self-report arrest data on a sample of subjects drawn from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) longitudinal cohort study, this paper exam...

In this work, temperature regulation and electrical output of a concentrated photovoltaic system coupled with phase change material (CPVPCM) is investigated compared single sun crystalline (PV) system. A fully thermal-optical-electrical model has been developed in-house to conduct the simulation studies for actual weather conditions Doha (Qatar) selected materials (PCMs). The PCMs are lauric ac...

deregulation policy has caused some changes in the concepts of power systems reliability assessment and enhancement. in this paper, generation reliability is considered, and a method for its assessment using intelligent systems is proposed. also, because of power market and generators’ forced outages stochastic behavior, monte carlo simulation is used for reliability evaluation. generation r...

the scattered stories, due to the way they are put together in the shahnameh, show a thoughtful and systematic pattern and tell more than what they have in their appearance. according to the tradition of the shahnameh research, the book is divided into the following sections: mythical, heroic, and historical. although clear lines do not indicate this classification, the interval and overlapping...

The intermittency of renewable energy resources which only have localized availability with low density, is the main reasons for our reliance on conventional fossil fuels. If steady supply and high quality can be achieved then solar potential enough to meet global demand. Heat electricity both are equally important forms derived energies. In this paper, an innovative configuration system simult...
