The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of tamoxifen on the plasma concentration of NT-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer and to correlate changes in NT-proBNP with the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).Over a period of 12 months, we followed 60 women with a diagnosis
Modelling Low-Salinity Water Flooding as a Tertiary Oil Recovery Technique
In this project, low-salinity water flooding has been modeled on ECLIPSE black oil simulator in three cases for a total field production life of twenty-five years.In the first case, low-salinity water flooding starts fifteen years after secondary water flooding.For the second case, low-salinity water flooding starts five years after secondary water
Biodegradation Potential of White Rot Fungus in Waste Tire Rubber
Vehicle Concealer Brush tires are high demand inputs in the transportation sector, however, at the end of their useful life they become a technical, economic, environmental and public health problem, due to their complex structure made up of various materials, especially vulcanized rubber.One possible way to mitigate the environmental impact of was
Effect of Recycled Plastic in Mortar and Concrete and the Application of Gamma Irradiation - A Review
The utilization Lifts of a large amount of waste in concrete production is considered the best alternative for solving the issues associated with improper disposal.Plastic waste is considered as one of such waste and could be utilized in several applications.The drawback associated with the utilization of a large amount of plastic waste is the decr
Prediction of insect-herbivory-damage and insect-type attack in maize plants using hyperspectral data
Accurately detecting the insect damage caused in plants might reduce losses in crop yields.Hyperspectral data is Mops a well-accepted data source to attend this issue.However, due to their high dimensional, both robust and intelligent methods are required to extract information from these datasets.Therefore, we explore the processing of hyperspectr
