The present experiments investigate whether the absence of tachycardia during lowering of blood pressure (BP) with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (CEI) in salt-depleted dogs is due to an alteration in the activity of the baroreflex. Baroreflex activity was measured after pharmacological manipulation of BP using intravenous nitroglycerin or phenylephrine, and the heart period (R-R in...

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are widely implemented in companies’ operation management and there are already a number of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) ERP products on the market. However, companies often have difficulty in identifying the requirements for selecting an ERP system, and also in specifying their objectives in an ERP implementation project. Despite the available info...

Although carbon neutrality is a global aim, the potential drivers and influence mechanisms of corporate governance communities are unclear. This study examines impact director's network location on environmental investment (CEI) explores channels for CEI performance changes. Using sample 495 listed firms in China from 2015 to 2019, we construct director-based using contacts independent company ...

risk assessment and management of petrochemical feed and product transportation pipelines is very important to preventing probable accidents. so, 60 pipelines evaluated by chemical exposure index and chlorine pipeline due to high hazard distances selected for relative risk analysis. the chlorine pipeline with 3468 meter length divided to 100 meter sections, and third party damage index (tpdi), ...

background: fire and explosion hazards are extremely important in processing units. this study was performed to identify the risk centers, the potential damage caused by fire and explosion, and the days of production cessation in the processing company. materials and methods: the present qualitative case study was conducted using dow’s index in 2015. the fire and explosion hazard index and leve...

BACKGROUND The medical performance evaluation, which provides a basis for rational decision-making, is an important part of medical service research. Current progress with health services reform in China is far from satisfactory, without sufficient regulation. To achieve better progress, an effective tool for evaluating medical performance needs to be established. In view of this, this study at...

toxicity bioassays are important tools to determine biological effects of chemical agents on species. the questions remained on, what effects have been imposed on each of the different molecular site of cells by chemical exposure and how to find a pattern for chemical toxicity. to address the questions, hepg2 cell lines were exposed to the different concentrations of cisplatin for 24 hours to r...
