Introduction: Noise, as the most common pollutant in the industrial environment, can lead to hearing loss and negatively affect other organs such as the cardiovascular system. Cigarette smoking is a popular habit among some workers, and can also have a negative effect on the cardiovascular system. This study aimed to investigate the effect of simultaneous exposure to noise and cigarette smoke o...

this research includes both experimental and cfd investigation in the hydrodynamic behavior of a new type of column tray introduced as “concap” tray. the proposed column tray is used in contactor columns especially in stripping columns. the hydrodynamics of this concap tray is investigated in a 1.2m in diameter column. using air-water system, the experiments were performed for different liquid ...

the effects of operating parameters such as feed temperature and permeate-side pressure on the performance of a commercial pva membrane in the dehydration of toluene by a pervaporation (pv) membrane system is studied in the present work. the results obtained indicate that increasing temperature in the range of 40 to 70 °c and reducing permeate pressure in the range of 1 to 10 mmhg increase memb...

The role of nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) in cardiovascular system regulation is controversial. On the other hand, the problem of hypertension in diabetic animals is the subject of many research programs. The aim of present study was to determine whether inactivation of NTS could affect blood pressure and heart rate in diabetic rats. To this end, stereptozotocin induced diabetic rats were an...
