The purpose of this study was to explore further the relation between the rates of oxygen consumption and ammonium (NH4+) production in the kidney during chronic metabolic acidosis. The experimental model was the dog with chronic metabolic acidosis because of the extensive background literature in this species. Chronic metabolic acidosis was produced by the ingestion of 10 mmol NH4Cl/kg body we...

The concentration of thallium-201 in the myocardium immediately following injection of tracer is the result of both blood flow delivering tracer to the heart and extraction by the myocardium. In these studies, the extraction of thallium-201 by the canine myocardium was determined as a function of heart rate, coronary blood flow, hypoxia, changes in pH, and following administration of propranolo...

extraction of trace amounts of toxic heavy metals from complicated environmental matrixes is a  challenging task. the aim of this investigation is the comparison of the extraction efficiencies and other related experimental variables ( chemicals, effect of ph, potential interfering ions) on the determination of inorganic lead ( ) which is present in waste water of dye industries. compared techn...

this case series aims to comprehensively introduce intentional replantation with a focus on its indications and case selection in endodontics. in all represented cases, calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement is used for root-end filling. this case series demonstrates twenty cases of ir and extraoral root-end resection and filling with cem cement. all the selected teeth had a failed endodontic tr...

styrene is an important constituent of widely used organic solvents in industries for production of various synthetic materials. the use of solid-phase extraction (spe) has grown and is a fertile technique of sample preparation as it provides better results than those produced by liquidliquid extraction. in this study, spe has been optimized, regarding sample ph, sample concentration, sample fl...

Cube Attack is a successful case of Algebraic Attack. Cube Attack consists of two phases, linear equation extraction and solving the extracted equation system. Due to the high complexity of equation extraction phase in finding linear equations, we can extract nonlinear ones that could be approximated to linear equations with high probability. The probabilistic equations could be considered as l...

this research is on the improvement of the procedure to determination of trace levels of antidepressant drug; fluoxetine in wastewaters. in this research a silica based sol-gel was applied for the extraction of fluoxetine from water samples. this two-phase technique is consisting of aqueous samples of fluoxetine (donor phase) and silica based nanocomposite prepared by sol-gel technique (accepto...

In this paper we present empirical facts on oil exploitation and a model that can replicate some of these facts. In particular, we show that the time path of the oil price, on the one hand, and the extraction and discovery rate, on the other hand, seem to follow a U-shaped and an inverted U-shaped relationship, respectively, which is confirmed by simple non-parametric estimations. Next, we pres...
