background: we investigated the rate of vaginal childbirth and cesarean and its causes in maternity wards of imam khomeini educational hospital in ahwaz the capital city of khuzestan province and al- hadi hospital in shoostar as a traditional city. methods: in this comparative descriptive study data were obtained from medical records of birth deliveries in six months (march to september) in yea...

In this paper, the effect of cationic and anionic ion sizes on the charge storage capability of graphene nanosheets is investigated. The electrochemical properties of the produced electrode are studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques in 3M NaCl, NaOH, and KOH electrolytes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to characterize the mi...

dft calculations were applied to evaluate the electronic and magnetic properties of zigzag bc2nnanotubes based on the 13c, 15n, and 11b nmr parameters and natural charge analysis. weconsidered three types of zigzag nanotubes, zz-1, zz-2, and zz-3 (n, 0) with n = 8, 12, and 14. theobtained results indicated the divisions of the electrostatic environments around c nuclei into a fewlayers, consist...

in this research, structural and electronic properties of zncdn-1ten clusters (n=1-10) have been studied by formalism of density functional theory and using the projector augmented wave within local density approximation. the structural properties (such as bond length/angle and coordination number), electronic and optical properties (such as binding energy, kohn-sham spectrum and partial charge...

this study has been investigated, the effects of three different polar polyacrylamides (anionic, cationic, and nonionic) on asphaltene deposition in porous media. all experiments were carried out in various dead oil flow rates (0.2, 0.1 and 0.02 cc/min) and different polymer concentrations (500, 2500, 4000 ppm). the results indicated that asphaltene precipitation was affected by the presence of...

synthetic water soluble acrylamide-based polymers have wide range of ap-plications  in  the  feld  of  soil  establishment  and  non-desertifcation.  in  this research, the acrylamide-based anionic polyelectrolytes were prepared by  solution polymerization. the polymerization was carried out using aibn as a radical initiator and at different degrees of anionic charges ranging between 10% and 30...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To determine the hospital mortality rates associated with elective surgical clipping and endovascular coiling of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. METHODS We identified a cohort of patients electively admitted to US hospitals with the diagnosis of unruptured intracranial aneurysm from the National Inpatient Sample database for the years 2000 through 2006. Patient demog...
