ObjectiveTo investigate diagnostic approaches for preoperative localization of secondary hyperparathyroidism, as well as to give surgeons with Collections precise parathyroid gland localization and imaging so that surgery can be performed safely.MethodsThe clinical data of 710 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism who underwent surgery in our
Abstract Voltage-gated potassium channels (VGKCs) comprise the largest and most complex families of ion channels.Approximately 70 genes encode VGKC alpha subunits, which assemble into functional tetrameric channel complexes.These subunits can also combine to form heteromeric channels, significantly expanding the potential Teapot diversity of VGKCs.
Abstract Considering water resource limited environment, high water demand and occurrence of drought; saving water and efficient use of it seems to be important.Thus, Cardigan optimal irrigation planning and management should be considered for water resource allocation.In this study, linear programming (LP) model was applied for allocation of water

Axial tension force exerted as a result of a temperature change or shrinkage can cause the collapse of RC structural members.Design code provisions and analytical models such as Modified Compression Field Theory (MCFT) yield reasonable estimates of shear strength of RC beams subjected to axial tension.Nevertheless, their semi-empirical nature is no
