Features of change of intracardiac gemodynamics and functional state of myocardium under the impact of telmisartan in patients with hypertension. by V. I. Koshlia, M. Ben-Abid

“…The specified changes may be explained by improvement of plastic characteristics of the myocardium that is caused both by direct action of telmisartan on the myocardium through blockade of a local renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system, and by the mediated influence due to decrease of blood pressure and after post loading.…”

Study on Rheological Mechanism of Cement-Coal Gangue Cementitious Material (CGCM) Slurry by Xuyang Shi, Qingxiang Cai, Linglei Zhang, Yanlong Chen, Ming Li

“…The results show that the rheological law of the CGCM slurry conforms to the modified Bingham model, and the significant shear thinning occurs in the CGCM slurry at low-shear speed, and relatively weak shear thickening occurs in the CGCM slurry at high-shear speed; under the thermal activation temperature of 800°C, the pozzolanic activity of coal gangue reaches the highest, the hydration reaction is the fastest, and the initial fluidity of CGCM slurry at 800°C is the lowest; the plastic viscosity of CGCM slurry increases gradually with the increase of thermal activation temperature of coal gangue, and the yield stress of the CGCM slurry reaches the maximum at 800°C; the flow law of CGCM slurry has significant time-varying characteristics, and the plastic viscosity and yield stress of CGCM slurry increase gradually with the extension of hydration time. …”
