in this paper, the direct extrusion process of bimetallic rods in conical dies is analyzed by an improved upper bound method. the deformation zone is subdivided into six smaller zones and by considering a non-spherical entrance boundary to the deformation zone, a velocity field is presented which is different from velocity fields employed in previous studies. the total power consumption of the ...

this study presents a comparative survey of direct methods for solving variational problems. thisproblems can be used to solve various differential equations in physics and chemistry like rateequation for a chemical reaction. there are procedures that any type of a differential equation isconvertible to a variational problem. therefore finding the solution of a differential equation isequivalen...

the present work developed an efficient plant regeneration and propagation system via direct organogenesis for morinda officinalis how., a valuable endangered medicinal plant. the effects of explant types on shoot induction, plant growth regulators on shoot proliferationand elongation and the subsequent rooting ability of shoots were examined. among the various types of explant, direct shoot pr...

diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which affects the healing ability of the pulp and periodontium. the aim of the present study was to assess the histopathologic response of dental pulp to pulp capping using mta or cem cement in diabetic rats. thirty two wistar male rats aged between 8 and 10 weeks (weight: 200-250g) were divided into two groups of diabetic (n=16) and healthy (n=16) animals...

statement of problem: recently, it has been proposed that different adhesive materials can be used for direct pulp capping. previous studies have demonstrated that multi steps dentin adhesives could form reparative dentin similar to calcium hydroxide (ch). purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the histological pulp response of ninety mechanically exposed cat pulps to two adhesive resin...

background: the objective of this study is to estimate the average diagnosis and treatment costs of chronic hepatitis b and c, with respect to different therapeutic strategies in iran. methods: this is a descriptive, analytical, and cross‑sectional study carried out on patients with hepatitis b and c, who were referred to the liver disease research center for prevention and treatment of hepatit...

conclusions the c genotype should be considered as the prevalent ev71 circulating genotype in iran, particularly in cases of aseptic meningitis. patients and methods viral rna was extracted from 170 cerebrospinal fluid samples obtained from children aged under 8 years with a primary diagnosis of aseptic meningitis. specific ev71 pcr was conducted to identify the genotype of the detected ev71 vi...

Objective: Estimation of genetic parameters for Kleiber ratio (KR) and genetic trends for pre-weaning weights of Arabi sheep has not been previously conducted.Methods: Data and pedigree information were collected at the Khuzestan Ramin Agricultural and Natural Resources University, Animal Science Research Station, located in southwest Iran, from 2001 to 2008. (Co)variance components and corresp...
