Clinical and laboratory indicators in pregnant women with preeclampsia

The objective of this study is to compare clinical and laboratory indicators in pregnant women with preeclampsia (PE) compared with women with physiological pregnancy. The study group included 209 women with physiological pregnancy and 250 pregnant women with PE. We studied coagulogram data, biochemical blood analysis, and the level of systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and during pregnanc

SPH Simulations of Counterrotating Disk Formation in Spiral Galaxies

We present the results of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of the formation of a massive counterrotating disk in a spiral galaxy. The current study revisits and extends (with SPH) previous work carried out with sticky particle gas dynamics, in which adiabatic gas infall and a retrograde gas-rich dwarf merger were tested as the two most likely processes for producing such a counterrotating disk. We report on experiments with a cold primary similar to our Galaxy, as well as a hot, compact primary modeled after NGC 4138. We have also conducted numerical experiments with varying amounts of prograde gas in the primary disk, and an alternative infall model (a spherical shell with retrograde angular momentum). The structure of the resulting counterrotating disks is dramatically different with SPH. The disks we produce are considerably thinner than the primary disks and those produced with sticky particles. The time-scales for counterrotating disk formation are shorter with SPH because the gas loses kinetic energy and angular momentum more rapidly. Spiral structure is evident in most of the disks, but an exponential radial profile is not a natural byproduct of these processes. The infalling gas shells that we tested produce counterrotating bulges and rings rather than disks. The presence of a considerable amount of preexisting prograde gas in the primary causes, at least in the absence of star formation, a rapid inflow of gas to the center and a subsequent hole in the counterrotating disk. In general, our SPH experiments yield stronger evidence to suggest that the accretion of massive counterrotating disks drives the evolution of the host galaxies towards earlier (S0/Sa) Hubble types.Comment: To appear in ApJ. 20 pages LaTex 2-column with 3 tables, 23 figures (GIF) available at this site.

Performance enhancement by unsteady-state reactor operation: Theoretical analysis for two-sites kinetic model

Theor. anal. of the reactor performance under unsteady-state conditions was carried out. The reactions are described by two kinetic models, which involve the participation in catalytic reaction of two types of active sites. The kinetic model I assumes the blocking of one of the active sites by a reactant, and the kinetic model II suggests a transformation of active sites of one type into another under the effect of the reaction temp. The unsteady-state conditions on the catalyst surface are supposed to be created (i) by forced oscillations of temp. and concn. in the reactor inlet (periodic operation of reactor) and (ii) by catalyst circulation between two reactors in a dual-reactor system (spatial regulation). The effect of various parameters like concn. of reactant, cycle split, length of period of forced oscillations, temps. and the ratio of catalyst vols. in the dual-reactor was investigated with respect to the yield of the desired product. It is shown that for both cases of unsteady-state conditions (periodic reactor operation as well as in a dual-reactor system), a mean reaction rate predicted by the kinetic model I was up to two times higher than the steady-state value. The kinetic model II shows a 20% increase of the selectivity towards the desired product. [on SciFinder (R)

Photometric deprojection of edge-on galaxies

Photometric deprojection is used to determine the stellardisk and bulge parameters for several edgeon galaxies from the FGC catalog. The assumption that the galaxies of our sample belonging to the fourth (i.e., lowest) surfacebrightness class in the FGC are edgeon, lowsurfacebrightness (LSB) galaxies is considered.Comment: 6 pages including 3 figures.
