Introduction: Pulmonary hypertension has been associated with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. The pulmonary artery diameter measurement from CT scan is routinely used to predict possible evidence of hypertension. However, no data available as reference for the normal range, especially Thai Population. primary purpose this study was determine main (MPA) ascending aorta (AAo) r...

the geometric mean particle diameter (dg) and lime are two of the most important properties from the viewpoint of soil management. nowadays remote sensing technology which has emerged walking with science development throughout the world, has made soil study faster, more facile and more cost-efficient. an investigation of soil dg and lime was performed in pol-e-dokhtar area by use of four sets ...

OBJECTIVE Currently, no quantitative guidelines have been established for treatment of left pulmonary artery (LPA) stenosis. This study aims to quantify the effects of LPA stenosis on postoperative hemodynamics for single-ventricle patients undergoing stage II superior cavopulmonary connection (SCPC) surgery, using a multiscale computational approach. METHODS Image data from 6 patients were s...

To identify genes that regulate the dynamics of lipid droplet (LD) size, we have used the genetically tractable model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, whose wild-type LD population displays a steady state of size with an upper limit of 3 μm in diameter. From a saturated forward genetic screen of 6.7 × 10(5) mutagenized haploid genomes, we isolated 118 mutants with supersized intestinal LDs ofte...

among the all parameters affecting the performance of a downhole de-oiling hydrocyclone, the investigation of internal flow field deserves more attempts especially in the petroleum industry. in this study, the effects of inlet flow rate, inlet oil volume fraction, and oil droplet diameter on the separation efficiency and pressure drop ratio have been investigated along the hydrocyclone body. al...
