Frontal-impact airbag systems have the potential to provide a benefit to rear seat occupants by distributing restraining forces over the body in a manner not possible using belts alone. This study sought to investigate the effects of incorporating a belt-integrated airbag ("airbelt") into a rear seat occupant restraint system. Frontal impact sled tests were performed with a Hybrid III 50th perc...

the aim of this study was to provide necessary information on the age, growth and sex ratio of one of commercially important cyprinid species, alburnus chalcoides in the southern caspian sea (north iran) from 2010 through 2011. 53 specimens of both sexes (males and females) were collected monthly. the samples were transported tothe laboratory for further biological measurements and otolith extr...

The potential of porphyrin derivatives as hole-transporting materials (HTMs) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been demonstrated. structural engineering HTMs provides an important means further improvement the performance PSCs. Herein, a zinc-porphyrin derivative (ZnP-FL) decorated with four fluorene-terminated triarylamines is presented. lab synthesis cost ZnP-FL estimated to be around $32...

to determine the gestational age of ultrasound devices, commonly used standard tables. the aim was to determine the gestational age of pregnant women admitted to hospitals in zahedan with hadlock and osaka table and gestational age derived from the tables to be adjusted to determine the gestational age of the actual use of tables for a more accurate determination of gestational age for the prop...

We report a case of a giant pancreatic pseudocyst in a 33-year-old woman presenting with abdominal pain, loss of appetite and abdominal distension. CT scans revealed a giant pancreatic pseudocyst measuring 10.3 cm × 9.6 cm × 9.3 cm anteroposteriorly, with signifi cant compression of the stomach. An open retrogastric cystogastrostomy was performed through a midline incision, and 3 L of fl uid wa...

Cornaceae plants are known for their edible berries, and their leaves are used as tea. In the present study aqueous leaf extracts from Cornus mas (CM), C. alba (CA), C. flaviramea (CF), C. kousa (CK), and C. officinalis (CO) were tested for their antiproliferative activity in human breast cancer cells (MCF-7). Dose- (50-750 µg/mL) and time (24, 48, 72 h)-dependent antiproliferative effects were...

BACKGROUND When partial coverage restorations (veneers, inlays, onlays…) must be cemented to dentin, bond strength may not reach the same predictable values as to enamel. The purpose of this study was: 1. To compare, with a shear bond test, the bond strength to dentin of a total-etch and a self-etching bonding agent. 2. To determine whether creating microretention improves the bond strength to ...

Ages of Chilean jack mackerel ( Trachurus murphyi ) in the southern Pacific Ocean were validated using three methods: 1) daily microincrement readings sagittal otoliths young-of-the year (YOY) fish to validate first annulus; 2) modal progression strong year-classes (PSYC) first, second and third annuli, 3) bomb radiocarbon analysis otolith cores absolute age older >38 cm fork length (FL)...

OBJECTIVE To assess the ability to identify the conus medullaris (CM) and measure the conus-sacrum distance (CS distance) on a routine scan and the relationship with maternal and fetal factors. METHODS This was a prospective study. The assessment of the CM and the CS distance and the influence of the body mass index (BMI), gestational age (GA) and fetal position were analyzed. The correlation...
