The consolidation of an interhemispherically transferred avoidance response was studied. The conditions for consolidation seem to be easily altered by polarizing currents. A pulsating surface-positive current applied to the medial cortex speeds consolidation and, when applied following the disturbance of consolidation by spreading cortical depression or cathodal polarization, restarts the inter...

Introduction: The physiological process of sternum surgical fracture consolidation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery could be prolonged by the invasion of gram-positive saprophytic bacteria which perpetuates the local inflammatory process despite the standardized aseptic and antiseptic measures in cardiac surgery. In this regard, the topical application of Vancomycin can e...

Objective: The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intraperitoneal (JP) cisplatin as consolidation treatment, in epithelial ovarian cancer patients with pathologically negative surgical reassessment, following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Methods: This study included 22 patients with FIGO stage (IIc- IV) epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) which had no evidence of disea...

Server consolidation has emerged as a promising technique to reduce the energy costs of a data center. In this work, we present the first detailed analysis of an enterprise server workload from the perspective of finding characteristics for consolidation. We observe significant potential for power savings if consolidation is performed using off-peak values for application demand. However, these...

in present paper, a numerical analysis for a rectangular cavity filled with a anisotropic porous media has been studied. it is assumed that the horizontal walls are adiabatic and impermeable, while the side walls of the cavity are maintained at constant temperatures and concentrations. the buoyancy force that induced the fluid motion are assumed to be cooperative. in the two extreme cases of he...

in this work, we report synthesis of silver nanoplates by a simple reduction process of silver nitrate in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol (pva) and n,n'-dimethyl formamide (dmf). the characterization of the samples were carried out using x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission-electron microscopy (tem) and uv-vis spectroscopy. absorption spectra of the nanoplates in comparison with that of...

The initial consolidation settlement process of saturated cohesive soils has been one of the most important issues to geotechnical engineers especially in important and sensitive structures based which are located on saturated clay layer with high thickness.  In dealing with initial consolidation settlement process and reducing its negative and destructive consequences, a number of solutions ha...

Abstract This study presents shape transformation of anisotropic high-performance thermoplastic polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) and carbon fiber reinforced powder composite particles (HT-23) by thermal rounding. The is achieved (partial) melting the high-temperature thermoplast microparticles. Three different process setups are presented, investigating impact source heat supply on resulting modifi...
