this work is conducted to obtain mechanical properties of microtubule. for this aim, interaction energy in alpha-beta, beta-alpha, alpha-alpha, and beta-beta dimers was calculated using the molecular dynamic simulation. force-distance diagrams for these dimers were obtained using the relation between potential energy and force. afterwards, instead of each tubulin, one sphere with 55 kda weight ...

in this paper, the main factors in the analysis of the railway concrete sleepers areinvestigated and new recommendations are made in order to improve the accuracy of the currentpractices in analysis of the railway track system. first, a comprehensive literature survey isconducted, then, fem models for a railway track system are developed and used to discuss andevaluate the assumptions commonly ...

this paper employs a multivariate dynamic conditional correlation garch model, which is developed by engle (2001, 2002), to detect the timing and nature of changes in the comovement between iranian output and prices for the periods after iran–iraq war , known as imposed war . the results showed that there is a weak correlation between output and prices after imposed war and  varies periodically...

introduction: the term dynamic assessment (da) refers to an assessment, by an active teaching process, of a child's perception, learning, thinking, and problem solving. the process is aimed at modifying an individual's cognitive functioning and observing subsequent changes in learning and problem-solving patterns within the testing situation. da has been advocated as an alternative an...

the aim of this study is to investigate the nucleation of new grains by necklacing mechanism during dynamic recrystallization (drx). the material used is 316 stainless steel. in order to modeling the deformation behavior during hot rolling, one-hit compression tests were performed at temperature range of 950-1100 °c with strain rates of 0.01-1s-1. the result shows that at the temperature of 100...

although bearing capacity of footings on top of slopes under monotonic loadings have been investigated widely so far, safety and bearing capacity of these structures against repeated dynamic loads have not been considered well enough. in this paper, lower bound dynamic shakedown theorem in its numerical form has been employed to firstly obtain bearing capacity of strip footings on top of slopes...

objectives: falling in the elderly is common and dynamic balance has direct effect abstract  on it. therefore, we decided to study the effect of functional training on dynamic balance in healthy elderly women. methods & materials: thirty healthy elderly women were purposefully selected as subjects and then randomly divided into two equal groups (control and experimental groups). the dynamic bal...

   Background: Developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) is a common childhood disorder, and ultrasonography examination is routinely used for screening purposes. In this study, we aimed to evaluate a modified combined static and dynamic  ultrasound technique for the detection of DDH and to compare with the results of static and dynamic ultrasound techniques.    Methods:In this cross-sectional study...
