The minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is one of the crucial and substantial parameters in the gas injection projects for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This parameter indicates the minimum pressure at constant temperature and composition conditions for reaching 100 percent of the oil production recovery which leads to a huge economic income. Therefore, an inaccurate prediction of the MMP may lea...

BACKGROUND Worldwide, systemic arterial hypertension is a leading cause of death and non-communicable cardiovascular disease. A major factor contributing to this disease is a sedentary lifestyle. However, physical exercise, such as martial arts, may be an option for blood pressure (BP) control. The magnitude of post-exercise hypotension is associated with a prolonged decrease in BP in normotens...

Efforts to increase the mass transfer coefficient, enhance the contact area, and decrease the power input of contractors have given risen to the development of the pre-dispersed solvent extraction (PDSE) contactor and the devise of the new dissolved nitrogen PDSE (DNPDSE) contactors. The studies conducted after the design of the new contactor to determine the working conditions for its suitable...

As the demands of tight-oil Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and controlling anthropogenic carbon emission have become global challenges, Carbon Capture Utilization Sequestration (CCUS) has been recognized as an effective solution to resolve both needs. However, influential factors dioxide (CO2) geological storage in low permeability reservoirs not fully studied. Based on core samples from Huang-3 a...

background: considering the increasing number of patients with hemophilia and infrastructure requirements for a comprehensive approach, development of a recombinant factor has become a milestone. the objective of this study was to assess the safety, efficacy and non inferiority of safacto (recombinant factor viii) compared with plasma-derived factor in the treatment of hemophilia a. methods: 10 ...

In this study, a chemical additive made by a combination of polymer, alkaline, and silica nanoparticles is used to control the oil recovery and relative permeability curves. Various parametersincluding the type and concentration of polymer, alkaline, and nanosilica particles have been studied.To evaluate the efficiency of these additives, we performed unsteady state displaceme...

We assessed the changes in cardiac index and total peripheral resistance underlying blood pressure reactions and recovery from acute mental stress, in relation to socioeconomic status. A sample of 200 men and women aged 47-59 years was divided on the basis of occupation into higher, intermediate, and lower socioeconomic status groups. Blood pressure was monitored using the Portapres, and hemody...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The relevance of elevated blood pressure in acute ischemic stroke and its most appropriate management are unresolved. We aimed to evaluate the rate of functional recovery with relation to early blood pressure management in patients with ischemic stroke. METHODS Four hundred eighty-one consecutive ischemic stroke patients were admitted to the Neurology Service within 20....
