Complete right bundle-branch block with right axis deviation was seen in nine patients who did not have right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary disease, or extensive lateral myocardial infarction. Four patients had chronic block and five had acute myocardial infarction. This pattern was attributed to a coexisting block in the right branch and in the inferior division of the left branch. It fre...

Solid alkaline fuel cell is employed by polymer anion exchange membrane (AEM) that is permeable to hydroxide ion. A number of polymers have been proposed for AEM which include polysulfone (PSF), poly (phenylene oxide) (PPO), and poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK). The purpose of this paper was to conduct a critical review on the development of PEEK polymer as AEM, particu...

Introduction: Fundamental notions of mapping hypothesis and canonicity were scrutinized in Persian-speaking aphasics.  Methods: To this end, the performance of four age-, education-, and gender matched Persian-speaking Broca's patients and eight matched healthy controls in diverse complex structures were compared via the conduction of two tasks of syntactic comprehension and grammaticality jud...

Any etiological theory of schizophrenia must account for at least 3 distinctive features of the disorder, namely its excessive dopamine neurotransmission, its frequent periadolescent onset, and its bizarre, pathognomonic symptoms. In this article, we theorize that each of these features could arise from a single underlying cause--namely abnormal myelination of late-developing frontal white matt...

determination of f-wave latency is a simple and valuable method in evaluating proximal part of peripheral nerves. the aim of this study was to determine the mean minimal peroneal f wave (f min) in healthy individuals. a total of 282 individuals were studied. the mean age was 45.6 years. the f min (± sd) for 564 peroneal nerves was 47.09 ± 4.51 ms. the f min for the age group of 20-45 and height...

The non-Fourier effect in heat conduction is important in strong thermal environments and thermal shock problems. Generally, commercial FE codes are not available for analysis of non-Fourier heat conduction. In this study, a meshless formulation is presented for the analysis of the non-Fourier heat conduction in the materials. The formulation is based on the symmetric local weak form of the sec...

In this paper, the combination of conduction with radiation into a semitransparent medium which includes absorption, emission and scattering has been investigated. In order to Study the conduction in medium, the Non-Fourier heat conduction has been applied. In this model there is a time delay between heat flux and temperature gradient. Also, in contrast with Fourier heat conduction, the speed o...
