The effect of air temperature (Ta) on the thermal behavior and mechanical properties steel wire rods is investigated during Stelmor cooling process using a numerical model an offline simulator. During process, rod measured in summer (28°C) higher than that winter (4°C). average difference between seasons approximately 5°C. In addition, tensile strength (TS) lower winter: TS 19 MPa. different ra...

in this paper, we introduce a takagi-sugeno (ts) fuzzy model which is derived from a typical multi-layer perceptron neural network (mlp nn). at first, it is shown that the considered mlp nn can be interpreted as a variety of ts fuzzy model. it is discussed that the utilized membership function (mf) in such ts fuzzy model, despite its flexible structure, has some major restrictions. after modify...

In an effort to improve the therapeutic selectivity of 5-fluorouracil (FUra) against colorectal cancer, S-1, a combination agent including a prodrug of FUra with two modulators, was recently developed by Taiho Pharmaceuticals Co. S-1 is a combination of tegafur (FT), 5-chloro-2,4-hydroxypyridine, and potassium oxonate in the molar ratio of 1.0:0.4:1.0, with the latter two components as inhibito...

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is characterized by excessive deposition of collagen in the connective tissue leading to secondary changes in epithelium. It has multifactorial etiology. This case reports Oral Submucous Fibrosis occurring in a 28 year old male with a history of betel quid chewing. Various treatment modalities are proposed such as nutritional support, immunomodulatory drugs, physi...

Soccer is an attractive and popular team sport that has high physiological fitness stress, therefore requires special controlled training programs during the season. The aim of this study was to describe weekly average changes in monotony (TM) strain (TS) throughout different periods season professional football players based on number accelerations decelerations, also analyze difference betwee...

In our attempts to characterize a temperature-sensitive mutant (ts-2) of monkey kidney cell line BSC-i, we have provided evidence to show that the mutant was defective in the synthesis or processing of rRNA (45, 28 and 18 s) molecules at 39-5 °C and there was indication that the nucleolar RNA polymerase (I) or some factor associated with its functional activity was thermolabile at the restricte...

The main concern of an olive grower is primarily to achieve more income and profits. A harvesting method having higher efficiency and better fruit and oil quality, but a higher operation cost leads to a lower benefit. A study was carried out to evaluate the techno-economic performances of Trunk Shaker (TS) and Mechanical Harvest Aid (MHA) shaker for harvesting the yellow and Manzanilla olive cu...
