Recent Advances in Strenthening Glass Material for CRT

Ultrasonic spectroscopy for material analysis. Recent advances

al’s properties and acoustical characteristics have been studied for a long time and ultrasonic techniques have been used in non-destructive testing and imaging for decades. Ultrasound as an analytical tool has revolutionised diagnostics in medicine, but the application of ultrasound to material’s analyses has been held back by problems with ultrasonic design, electronics, sample handling, comp...

Recent Advances in EMG Pattern Recognition for Prosthetic Control

Recent Advances in Hemophilia Gene Therapy

Heterogeneous loss of function mutations at F8 and F9 genes causes X-linked recessive bleeding disorders, hemophilia A (HA) and hemophilia B (HB), respectively. HA is clinically indistinguishable from HB and accounts for more than 80% of hemophilia cases; the former affects 1/5000 and the latter 1/25000 male births worldwide. In Iran, it is estimated that around 4300 HA and 900 HB patients are ...

Recent Advances in Smart-material Rotor Control Actuation

This paper reviews recent achievements in the application of active-materials actuation to counteract aeroelastic and vibration effects in helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. A brief review of the induced-strain actuation principles and capabilities is done first. Attention is focused on the smart rotor-blade applications. The induced twist, active blade tip, and active blade flap concepts are...

Recent Advances In Treatment of Acute Organophosphorous Nerve Agents Poisoning

Organophosphorous (OP) chemical warfare nerve agents mainly sarin and tabun were used during the Iran-Iraq war with high mortalities. In addition to atropine and oximes, the followings have recently been used successfully for the treatment of OP poisoning. 1. Sodium Bicarbonate: Infusion of high doses of sodium bicarbonate (5 mEq/kg in 60 min. followed by 5-6 mEq/kg/day to obtain arterial blood...
