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 ...
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 ...

(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 ...
Soft Computing Approach in Modeling Energy Consumption
(SPRINGER-VERLAG BERLIN, 2014)
In this chapter, we build an intelligent model based on soft computing technologies to improve the prediction accuracy of Energy Consumption in Greece. The model is developed based on Genetic Algorithm and Co-Active Neuro ...
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. ...
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 ...
Demographic and clinical characteristics of primary glomerular diseases in Turkey
(SPRINGER, 2014)
The aim of our study was to delineate the demographic and clinical properties of primary glomerular diseases of adult population in our country in the light of global knowledge. All over the country, a total of 25 centers ...
Effects of complete dentures on respiratory performance: spirometric evaluation
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2014)
ObjectivesThere is a lack of data regarding whether edentulous subjects should remove dentures during spirometric measurements or not. The purpose of this study is to determine influences of complete dentures on spirometric ...
