FDG-PET is an accurate noninvasive method in lateralizing the epileptogenic focus in temporal lobe epilepsy, especially in patients with normal or equivocal MRIs, or non-lateralized EEG monitoring. Very subtle findings in MRI are often associated with histopathological lesions and should be described in MRI reports. The patients with negative or equivocal MRI temporal lobe epilepsy are good surgical candidates with comparable postsurgical outcomes to patients with MRI positive temporal lobe epilepsy.

The need for service passenger cars, like taxies and governmental vehicles, to work in central Tehran that can produce less emission has been the main drive behind this research. A series hybrid pneumatic vehicle based on Iran manufactured Samand Passenger car was developed using commercially available components. The idea is to use as much standard parts as possible to reduce the development and manufacturing costs of the developed hybrid car. The vehicle space and weight limitations and the fixed geometry have been the main constraint in adoption of the components. The calculations show that the designed vehicle succeeds to satisfy the requirements set by driving cycle, but requires further component development to become competitive from the view point of maximum speed and gradeability.
