چکیده

Mathematical analysis of morphometric studies on the destruction of pulmonary tissue in cases of centrilobular emphysema has been used to identify degrees and localization of structural damage. From the data, an hypothesis of sequential, cumulative, individual destructive events has been developed to explain the distributive and progressive parenchymal changes in the lungs.

A case of endobronchial polyp mimicking congenital lobar emphysema in an infant

Background: Congenital lobar emphysema, also called infantile lobar emphysema, is a respiratory disease that occurs in infants when air enters the lungs and cannot leave easily. It results from cartilage deficiency and bronchomalacia causing distal air trapping and respiratory distress. In this study, we present a case of endobronchial polyp mimicking congenital lobar emphysema. Case presentati...

DAMAGE IDENTIFICATION IN STRUCTURES USING TIME DOMAIN RESPONSES BASED ON DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION ALGORITHM

An effective method utilizing the differential evolution algorithm (DEA) as an optimisation solver is suggested here to detect the location and extent of single and multiple damages in structural systems using time domain response method. Changes in acceleration response of structure are considered as a criterion for damage occurrence. The acceleration of structures is obtained using Newmark me...

A damage model incorporating dynamic plastic yield surface

In this paper, a general elastoplastic-damage constitutive model considering the effect of strain rate has been developed. The derivation of this model has been cast into the irreversible thermodynamics with internal variables within the fundamentals of Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM). The rate effect has been involved as an additional term into the plastic yield surface (dynamic plastic yield...

Morphological Variability of the Aspius aspius taeniatus (Eichwald, 1831) in the Southern Caspian Sea Basin

 Traditional morphometric measurements and meristic counts were used to investigate the hypothesis of population fragmentation of Mash mahi, Aspius aspius taeniatus (Eichwald, 1831) among two fishing areas in southern Caspian Sea basin(Tonekabon:32 specimens  and Sari:34 specimens ). Univariate analysis of variance showed significant differences between the means of the two groups for 12 out of...
