our  previous  studies demonstrated  the  preventive effect  of  nigella  sativa  extract  on asthma and water-soluble substances of this extract, especially its methanol fraction were responsible for this relaxation on contracted tracheal chains of guinea pigs. for the first time, the present study has been conducted to determine the main constituents of its methanolic extract. four constituen...

researchers suggested that the individual fit test be conducted to estimate the protection effectiveness of workers’ hearing protection device (hpd) while working. practically, it is convenient to conduct single, instead of multiple, fit test measurement. this study examined if a single trial of earplug fit test can represent multiple performances. additionally, it investigated how much noise e...

background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the infl uence of ejection fraction (ef) on peak aortic time (pat) and  peak aortic enhancement (pae) during coronary computed tomography angiography (cta). materials and methods: one-hundred and twenty patients (64 men, 56 women) underwent measurement of coronary cta with a measurement of ef within 3 months of coronary cta.pearson’s correla...

background: bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cellscan transdifferentiate into cardiomyocyte cells and improveheart function after transplantation. since biomaterials canimprove the cell retention in the site, cell survival and differentiation,heart tissue engineering is now being explored as anapplied solution to support cell-based therapies and increasetheir efficacy for myocardial diseases. ch...

background: most preclinical studies are carried out on mice. for internal dose  assessment of a mouse, specific absorbed fraction (saf) values play an important role.  in most studies, saf values are estimated using older standard human organ compositions  and values for limited source target pairs. objective: saf values for monoenergetic photons of energies 15, 50, 100, 500,  1000 and 4000 ke...

dianchi lake is one of the most three seriously eutrophic lakes in china. in the present study, the phosphorus (p) and nitrogen (n) fractions in 37 surface sediments samples collected in the dianchi lake were investigated. the total phophorus (tp) in sediments was divided into two parts: inorganic p (ip) and residual p (res-p). the results showed that the total phosphorus content in surface sed...

in this contribution, linearized dynamic model of cumulative mass fraction (cmf) of potassium nitrate-water seeded continues mixed suspension mixed product removal (cmsmpr) crystallizer is approximated by a simplified model in frequency domain. frequency domain model simplification is performed heuristically using the frequency response of the derived linearized models data. however, the cmf fr...
