background the nasal septal deviation (nsd) is one of the major causes of nasal obstruction. this condition increases upper airway resistance. in this study we evaluated the mean pulmonary artery pressure (mpap) in patients with markedly deviated septum. methods sixty two patients with nsd (age range: 26-45 years, 34 men and 28 women) were included in the study. mean pulmonary artery pressure w...

Root-derived carbon sources supporting photosynthesis have been demonstrated to contribute plant gain in many laboratory experiments. However, it remains largely unknown whether and what extent soil dissolved inorganic (DIC) influences leaf karst habitats characterized by alkaline soils with low water content. We explored this relationship measuring the concentrations isotope signals (δ13C) of ...

Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) often presents a difficult therapeutic problem to the clinician since many of the accepted modes of therapy are associated with only partial success or with a number of long-term complications. We present three patients with obstructive SAS in whom dramatic clinical improvement occurred following repair of a deviated nasal septum. The subjective improvement was associ...

The directional wells can effectively improve the development efficiency of deep and ultra-deep pre-salt oil gas reservoirs in Kuqa Mountains Tarim basin. Under condition temperature pressure, mechanical properties composite salt-gypsum layers are complex. During drilling process, that salt rock is easy to creep causes drill stick. controlling well inclination, it difficult choose appropriate f...

Present study showed that the over-all sex-ratio deviated in favour of females in Ilisha melastoma. However, the sexratio was approximately 1:1 in certain months while in others it was in favor of females. Similarly the sex-ratio deviated from 1:1 ratio in different size-classes. Minimum size at which the specimens of I. melastoma get matured is 14.9 cm in total length (11.5 cm in SL). Four mat...

Abstract Results from cuttings transport tests in the laboratory using different field-applied oil-based drilling fluids with similar weight and varying viscosities are presented this paper. The designed for highly deviated wells, performance at relevant wellbore inclinations was investigated. experiments have been performed a flow loop that consists of 10-m-long test section 50.4 mm (2″) diame...
