Rheological characterization of polyethylene glycol based TiO2 nanofluids
(KOREAN SOC RHEOLOGY, 2014)
Rheological characterization of TiO2 nanoparticle dispersions in polyethylene glycol (PEG 200) is presented over 1-10 wt% particle mass fraction range in terms of shear viscosity, thixotropy and linear viscoelasticity. A ...
Genetic Characterization of Turkish Cattle Breeds by Microsatellite Markers: Usefulness for Parentage Testing
(KAFKAS UNIV, VETERINER FAKULTESI DERGISI, 2014)
Objective of this study was to evaluate microsatellite markers in paternity testing of native cattle breeds in Turkey. Blood samples were collected from Anatolian Black (n=51), Anatolian Grey (n=54), South Anatolian Red ...
Assessment of Cardiac Functions in Fetuses of Gestational Diabetic Mothers
(SPRINGER, 2014)
We investigated cardiac function in 67 fetuses of gestational diabetic mothers (FGDMs) and 122 fetuses of healthy mothers between 24 and 36 weeks of gestation. Cardiac functions were evaluated by M-mode, pulsed-wave, and ...
Microstructural Characterization and Thermal Properties of Aluminium Titanate/Spinel Ceramic Matrix Composites
(POLISH ACAD SCIENCES INST PHYSICS, 2014)
Spinel (MgAl2O4) ceramics possesses a high melting point, high hardness, a relatively low density, excellent transmittance, a high strength, a relatively low thermal expansion coefficient, high thermal shock resistance and ...
Importance of ground properties in the relationship of ground vibration-structural hazard and land application
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2014)
Vibration parameters like frequency, acceleration and particle velocity play an active role in the relationship of ground vibration-structural hazard. These parameters change depending on blasting energy and the properties ...
Role of the VEGF 936 gene polymorphism and VEGF-A levels in the late-term arteriovenous fistula thrombosis in patients undergoing hemodialysis
(SPRINGER, 2014)
Vascular access is vital for hemodialysis patients. A major factor that facilitates arteriovenous (AV) fistula failure is stenosis and thrombosis due to intimal hyperplasia developing in the venous segment of AV fistula. ...
The effects of sildenafil in liver and kidney injury in a rat model of severe scald burn: a biochemical and histopathological study
(TURKISH ASSOC TRAUMA EMERGENCY SURGERY, 2014)
BACKGROUND: Severe burn induces systemic inflammation and reactive oxygen species leading to lipid peroxidation which may play role in remote organs injury. Sildenafil is a selective and potent inhibitor of cyclic guanosine ...
Sequential determination of serum viral titers, virus-specific IgG antibodies, and TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-gamma levels in patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2014)
Background: Although there have been a number of studies on the pathogenesis of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) recently, knowledge on this topic is still insufficient. This study aims to reveal the kinetics of serum ...
Significant correlation between uric acid levels and flow-mediated dilatation in patients with masked hypertension
(INFORMA HEALTHCARE, 2014)
Background: Serum uric acid (UA) level is associated with prognosis in cardiovascular disorders such as sustained hypertension, diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney diseases. Increased UA levels in sustained hypertension ...
