introduction natural and artificial radionuclides are the main sources of human radiation exposure. these radionuclides, which are present in the environment, can be dissolved into water. evidence suggests that radionuclides being entered the human body through drinking or hot spring water can be harmful for human health. materials and methods in this study,10 samples were collected from ground...

in many reservoirs, after water flooding, a large volume of oil is still left behind. hot water injection is the most basic type of thermal recovery which increase recovery by improved sweep efficiency and thermal expansion of crude.in the present work, the effects of injection rate and the temperature of the injected water were surveyed by using core flooding apparatus. water flooding was perf...

background: acute low back pain is one of the most prevalent diseases which more than 90% of the adults experience at least once during lifetime. the present study was conducted to determine the efficacy of duration of hot water bag usageon pain relief in in the patients with acute low back pain. methods: this clinical trial study was conducted on 20- to 50-year-old patients referring orthopedi...

INTRODUCTION Many countries still have unacceptably high hospitalizations and deaths from scalds from hot tap water. Prevention strategies implemented in some countries may not work in others. Legislation aimed at changing environments that are conducive to hot tap water scalds may not be effective in many situations for a number of reasons, including lack of acceptability and practicality. M...

the growth of the electrical energy consumption form one side and the bounded available fossil fuel and other limitations from the other side, makes the thermal power plants upgrading as a main demand in the world. decreasing the internal energy consumption, increasing the performance and the output power with the minimum costs are the important targets of the power plants retrofitting. nowaday...

Scalds from hot tap water are serious injuries that are potentially preventable by restricting the temperature of hot tap water delivery. In July 1999, regulations were introduced in NSW to require that all new hot water installations deliver water at temperatures not exceeding 50 degrees C to sanitary fixtures. This study investigates trends in hot tap water scald injury hospitalisations follo...

background : we intend to study the inhibitory effect of sulfur compound in ramsar hot spring mineral on tumor-genesis ability of high natural background radiation. objective : the radioprotective effect of sulfur compounds was previously shown on radiation-induced chromosomal aberration, micronuclei in mouse bone marrow cells and human peripheral lymphocyte. ramsar is known for having the high...
