We have experienced three rare cases of hemodynamic deterioration and transient mitral regurgitation (MR) induced by a suction-type tissue stabilizer during the left internal thoracic artery (LITA)-to-LAD (left anterior descending) coronary artery anastomosis. Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) showed new or worsening MR during the placement of a tissue stabilizer. In all three cases, the pos...

Biologically active N-benzoyl-4-(N-maleimido)-phenylhydrazide (BMPH) was synthesized and its structure was confirmed by elemental analysis and various spectral tools. It was examined as a thermal stabilizer and co-stabilizer for rigid poly (vinyl chloride) at 180 °C in air. Blending BMPH with reference samples in different ratios greatly lengthens the thermal stability value and improves the ex...

Power system stabilizers have been widely used and successfully implemented for the improvement of power system damping. However, a fixed parameter power system stabilizer tends to be sensitive to variations in generator dynamics so that, for operating conditions away from those used for design, the effectiveness of the stabilizer can be greatly impaired. With the advent of microprocessor techn...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used as antibacterial products in various fields. Recent studies have suggested that AgNPs need an appropriate stabilizer to improve their stability. Some antibacterial traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) contain various reductive components, which can not only stabilize AgNPs but also enhance their antimicrobial activity. In this study, we developed a s...

development in the effort to control 1,2 micronutrient deficiencies . Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) are the major micronutrient deficiencies of public 2,3 health importance in India . Salt is a universal vehicle for the fortification of iodine / iron as it is consumed at approximately the same levels throughout the year by all normal populations, with very ...

Power systems are subjected to low frequency disturbances that might cause loss of synchronism and an eventual breakdown of entire system. The oscillations, which are typically in the frequency range of 0.2 to 3.0 Hz, might be excited by the disturbances in the system or, in some cases, might even build up spontaneously. These oscillations limit the power transmission capability of a network an...

Antibacterial foam dressing has been developed in recent years based on polymeric membranes and silver ions or nanoparticles as antibacterial components. However, have cytotoxicity to humans. Herein, we used biocompatible multi-branched gold an antimicrobial agent polyurethane wound dressings. This study described a rapid surfactant-free method for the preparation of using hydroquinone reducing...

current interests towards lowering fat content in food products and producing healthier and safer foods, have convinced ice cream manufacturers to substitute milk fat in ice cream with either carbohydrate or protein based fat replacers. in the present work, reduced-fat ice cream (5% fat) was produced using milk protein concentrate (65%) and inulin as fat replacers (0, 2 and 4%) as well as two t...

A complex projective t-design is a configuration of vectors which is “evenly distributed” on a sphere in the sense that sampling uniformly from it reproduces the moments of Haar measure up to order 2t. We show that the set of all n-qubit stabilizer states forms a complex projective 3-design in dimension 2n. Stabilizer states had previously only been known to constitute 2-designs. The main techn...
