In this study, the formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by chilled goat spermatozoa was measured. Furthermore, the effects of dead spermatozoa on motility characteristics were studied. Fresh collected ejaculates from five Shami bucks were centrifuged and virtually all seminal plasma was removed. A part of the collected spermatozoa was killed by two ways: the first by repe...

in the present work, study of the vibration of a functionally graded (fg) cylindrical shell made up of stainless steel, zirconia, and nickel is presented. free vibration analysis is presented for fg cylindrical shells with simply supported-simply supported and clamped–clamped boundary condition based on temperature independent material properties. the equations of motion are derived by hamilton...

background: mercury is a heavy metal with high toxic effects. it has many apply to various industries, so can enter to the environment from different resources. therefore, its elimination from wastewater is a major challenge. in this study, removal of mercury from aqueous solution using two types of almond shell was investigated and compared. methods: this experimental-intervention study has be...

in this study, the effectiveness of kiwi shell was investigated to reduce the mobility of lead and cadmium in clay soil in different intervals. for this purpose a clay soil sample was contaminated with lead and cadmium in distinct dishes with 10 and 600 ppm concentrations respectively and mixed with 5% kiwi shell. samples were placed in incubator, and then sampling of soil in incubator was perf...

In scallop aquaculture, it is important to monitor the growth of scallops in sea for control. this paper, we propose a method automatically detect and determine whether they are alive or dead based on information obtained by 3D reconstruction underwater from images. The detected using Sparse ICP, multiple initial positions set deal with problem local solutions. judged survival defining an openi...

in this paper, the radial breathing mode (rbm) frequencies of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) are  obtained based on the multiple-elastic thin shell model. for this purpose, mwcnt is considered as a multiple concentric elastic thin cylindrical shells, which are coupled through van der waals (vdw) forces between two adjacent tubes. lennard-jones potential is used to calculate the vdw forc...

In this paper, the nonlinear vibration analysis of a thin cylindrical shell made of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) resting on a nonlinear viscoelastic foundation under compressive axial and lateral loads is studied. Nonlinear governing coupled partial differential equations of motions (PDEs) for cylindrical shell are derived using improved Donnell shell theory. The equations of motions (EOM...

Three-dimensional matrices that encapsulate and deliver stem cells with defect-tuned formulations are promising for bone tissue engineering. In this study, we designed a novel stem cell delivery system composed of collagen and alginate as the core and shell, respectively. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were loaded into the collagen solution and then deposited directly into a fibrous structure wh...

The fan shell P. nobilis (Linnaeus, 1758) is the largest marine bivalve in the Mediterranean Sea which acts as ecosystem engineer, offering an adequate substratum to several associated benthic species. P. nobilis is threatened by the reduction and loss of its natural habitat and by increased anthropogenic inputs into coastal waters. The knowledge on the population of this species are scarce, es...
