stability studies play a critical role in assuring product quality at all points in the vaccine life cycle and havea major impact on the success of immunization programs worldwide. the purpose of stability study isdetermination of the vaccine quality under the variety of environmental factors and to establish a re-testperiod or a shelf life and recommended storage conditions. in this study thre...

protection of animals immunized against bacillus anthracis is usually demonstrated by challenging with an appropriate dose of a strain of bacillus anthracis that is lethal to unvaccinated animals inoculated at the same time. in this study the protective efficacy in anthrax vaccine (34f2 sterne strain spore) was evaluated in sheep, goats and guinea pigs challenged with subcutaneous inoculation o...

Determination of critical points on hot stress-strain curve of metals is crucial in thermo-mechanical processes design. In this investigation a mathematical modeling is given to illustrate the behavior of metal during hot deformation processes such as hot rolling. The critical strain for the onset of dynamic recrystallization has been obtained as a function of strain at the maximum stress. In a...

Parallel tubular channel angular pressing (PTCAP) process is a novel recently developed severe plastic deformation technique for fabrication of ultrafine grained (UFG) metallic tubes. This new process consists of two half cycles and is affected by several parameters such as channel angles, deformation ratio and curvature angles. In this paper, the effects of these parameters on the plastic defo...

Since tubes have numerous industrial applications, different attempts are focused on the Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) processes of tubes. As an illustration, Tube Channel Pressing (TCP) is an attractive process for this purpose since it can be used for processing of different sizes of tubes. However, more attempts are needed to improve the outcomes of TCP. For example, imposing of greater s...

in this work, dynamic mechanical properties of three high-manganese steels with trip/twip or fully twip characteristics are studied. high strain rate experiments in the range of true strain rates between ~500 and 1800 /s are conducted using a dynamic torsional testing setup. all the three steels show a positive strain rate sensitivity in the intermediate range of strain rates (up to 500 /s). bu...
