Results Baseline leptin correlated with body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and inflammatory markers; correlations persisted after BMI adjustment. The within-person consistency of leptin values over 4 years (correlation coefficient: 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.73 to 0.83) was higher than those of some established cardiovascular risk factors. In a co...

in this study, effects of multi walled carbon nanotubes and temperature on rheological behavior of engine oil (10w40) have been examined. for this purpose, the experiments were carried out in the temperature range of 5-55°c for several suspensions with solid volume fractions of 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75%. the viscosity of all samples was measured in the shear rate range of 666s-...
