Recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after electrical cardioversion (ECV) is increased in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). In patients with persistent AF, with (n=40) and without (n=32) obstructive respiratory events (OREs) during sedation for ECV, we determined the occurrence of premature atrial contractions (PACs) before and after insertion of a nasopharyngeal tube. The influen...

jian cu deposit is hosted by surian volcano-sedimentary complex of permo-triassic age on the eastern edge of the sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic zone at a distance of 195 km from shiraz, southwestern iran. the complex consists mainly of metabasalt, chlorite-quartz schist, chlorite-muscovite schist, mica schist and graphite schist. pyrite is the most important sulfide and chalcopyrite is the major c...

Oxidation of sulfide-containing ores is the main cause of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD), which is an environmental problem associated with both the abandoned and active mines. Iron-bearing sulfide minerals can be oxidized and form mine waters with high sulfate content, low pH, high electrical conductivity, high redox potential, and high concentrations of iron, aluminum, and other heavy metals. In th...

A considerable difference exists between the flotation separation of artificial minerals and real low-grade ores processing where selectivity would be main issue. Nanobubble-assisted (NB) investigations have been mostly examined with pure materials a narrow particle size range, less on complex sulfide ores. This study considered NB for Pb-Cu-Zn ore in two different ranges various conditions to ...
