Background Anthracyclines are important components of many chemotherapeutic protocols. The present study aimed to evaluate the repolarization changes in electrocardiography (ECG) which may predict drug induced arrhythmia. Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional study, the recorded ECGs were assessed for QT dispersion (QTd), QT corrected dispersion (QTcd), T peak to Tend dispersion (TPe...

a computer program was developed to predict the dispersion of gas pollutant in the atmosphere. this program relies on puff method, and in order to consider the wind shear effects, the program has the ability to consider the complete dynamic and unsteady atmospheric conditions. plume rise of hot pollutants due to buoyancy effects was also considered. the program has the capacity to perform the r...

in this study the effect of using multi-walled carbon nanotube (mwcnt) on flexural and compressive strengths, ultimate displacement and energy absorption capability of standard cement mortar considering different weight percentages of nanotubes as well as different dispersion methods has been investigated. influential point in adding nanotubes to the composites is their proper dispersion, which...

In this paper, a new structure is provided for the dispersion compensating photonic crystal fibers in order to broaden the chromatic dispersion and increase the dispersion compensating capability in a wide wavelength range. In the structure, putting elliptical holes in the first ring of the inner core clad of a dispersion compensating fiber of the hexagonal lattice, increases the wavelength ran...

unity is one of the most important social issues in the holy religion of islam. unity makes possible entanglement from dependencies, success in settling social issues, and firmness in confronting conspiracies and invasions. since islam is a religion of kindness and brotherhood, it invites its followers to engage in being united, which will, however, never be achieved without resolving conflicts...

waveguides with low confinement loss, low chromatic dispersion, and low nonlinear effects are used in optical communication systems. optical fibers can also be employed in such systems. besides optical fibers, photonic crystal fibers are also highly suitable transmission media for optical communication systems. in this paper, we introduce two new designs of index-guiding photonic crystal fiber ...

By looking for algorithms that require minimum arithmetic precision, we obtain a simple ray-polygon intersection test that more easily handles degenerate cases.
