The measurement of the minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is one of the most important steps in the project design of miscible gas injection for which several experimental and modeling methods have been proposed. On the other hand, the standard procedure for compositional studies of miscible gas injection process is the regression of EOS to the conventional PVT tests. Moreover, this procedure d...

The effects of leumorphin, a kappa-agonist derived from proenkephalin B (neoendorphin and dynorphin precursor), on vasopressin secretion were studied under basal and stimulated conditions in conscious, unrestrained rats. Intracerebroventricular injection of leumorphin (60 or 600 pmol) significantly inhibited basal vasopressin secretion. The vasopressin response induced by intracerebroventricula...

In this computational research, the separate and simultaneous impacts of diesel direct injection timing, fuel spraying cone angle, and hydrogen gas addition on combustion characteristics, output emissions, and performance in a single-cylinder direct injection diesel engine was studied. In order to conduct the simulations, valid and reliable models for combustion, break-up, and for turbulence wa...

A GC-MS with electron impact ionization was used for the development of a speciation method for the simultaneous determination of monobutyl-, dibutyl-, and tributyltin in environmental samples (waters, sediments, and biota). The method is based on the use of a mixed spike containing Sn-enriched monobutyltin (MBT), dibutyltin (DBT), and tributyltin (TBT) for isotope dilution analysis. The mixed ...

The penetration of gentamicin and tobramycin into the synovial fluid of 12 patients with nontraumatic joint effusions was studied. Simultaneous serum and synovial fluid specimens taken after the intramuscular or intravenous administration of an antimicrobial agent were assayed. Synovial fluid levels of antibiotic were >50% of serum levels in all subjects studied. In five patients, synovial flui...

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is infrequent among cerebrovascular diseases. The simultaneous thrombosis involving both cerebral artery and venous sinus is even extremely rare. We reported a 41-year-old woman who presented with acute headache and left hemiparesis due to concomitant arterial ischemic stroke and recurrent CVT. Extensive investigation disclosed acquired protein C and protein S d...

this study evaluated the effects of mesobuthus eupeus (me) scorpion venom on inflammatory response following injection. additionally, the present study examined whether immunotherapy at specific time intervals would be effective on inflammatory response after me venom inoculation. animals were divided randomly into four groups: the first group received ld50 of venom and the second and third gro...

Oxides of Nitrogen are the major emission from a diesel engine. It is due to heterogeneous diffusion combustion system with fuel-rich regions, which produce high local temperature around the periphery of the spray where high formation rate of NO is promoted. Various techniques are therefore employed to reduce the NOX emission like EGR, SCR, etc. In this present work a rotating injector is a tec...
