introduction: ergonomics is the science of improvement of the work environment, job and equipment and adapting them to the human capabilities and limitations. observing ergonomic principles of computer application is essential for the computer users. lack of attention to these principles would decrease efficiency and cause irreparable somatic complications. the present study assesses the knowle...

stem cells are self-renewing cells that can be differentiated into other cell types. conventional in vitro models for studying stem cells differentiation are usually preformed in two-dimensional (2d) cultures. the design of three-dimensional (3d) in vitro models which ideally are supposed to mimic the in vivo stem cells microenvironment is potentially useful for inducing stem cell derived tissu...

background & aim: increasing economic role of medicinal herbs in recent society and complexity of modern technologies in production (planting and harvesting), transportation, storage, processing, quality evaluation, distribution, marketing and consumption of these products require a thorough understanding of their physical properties. coefficient of friction of plant on the various surfaces...

by means of first principles calculations we show that both rutile and anatase phases of bulk tio2 doped by s, se or pb can display substantial decreasing in the band gap (up to 50%), while doping by zr does not sizably affect the band-gap value. moreover, the absorption edge is shifted (up to 1 ev) to the lower energy range in the case of tio2 doped by s or pb that opens a way to enhancing of ...

nowadays cmm machines are widely used in surface measurement and inspection. as inspection results from cmm machine are obtained by the means of measuring surfaces with direct contact, they are more precise than non-contact method (like optical measurement). however, cmm machines give more reliable and accurate results rather than non-contact methods but also these results come with error when ...

traditional training which also is called (foreman-peupite) is the eldest training systems in the world. although this system, can not be used as a modern engineering education but it has several factors which could be modified for engineering education and training factor such as occupational goals, on job training and how a turnyman to be come a foman. the paper is dealt with districts and ad...
