Free and informed choice is an oft-acknowledged ethical basis for living kidney donation, including parental living kidney donation. The extent to which choice is present in parental living kidney donation has, however, been questioned. Since parents can be expected to have strong emotional bonds to their children, it has been asked whether these bonds make parents unable to say no to this dona...

Remove-and-replace with suitable material has been the primary solution used for improving subgrades in Michigan, USA, when weak are encountered road construction. Considering large extent of silty and clayey soils found southeastern where much population roads located within state, earthwork associated this is massive expensive. The use cement kiln dust (CKD) or lime (LKD) as a subgrade stabil...

As a droplet moves, due to evaporation at the surface, the droplet size is gradually reduced. Due to decreasing the size of the droplets moving in the spray core, the surface charges become closer and the repulsive force between the charges increases. When the Coulombic force overcomes the surface tension force (Rayleigh instability) the droplet breaks into smaller droplets (Coulomb fission). T...

Abstract This study is aimed at evaluating the strength of stabilised soil collected from Port Norvik, Stockholm, Sweden, where 350,000 m3 clay had to be stabilized. The tests were performed in laboratory Swedish Geotechnical Institute (SGI). was by binder mixtures using Portland cement clinker (PCC) and lime kiln dust (LKD). Accelerators (X-seed 100 BASF, PCC, LKD salt) added samples for quick...

The article is devoted to the study of effect lime kiln dust (LKD) on properties concrete mixtures and using Portland cement fly ash. A possible mechanism for formation structure cement–ash paste with addition LKD analyzed in detail. positive hydration (an increase content water by 40.50%) due an alkalinity shown. Using method experiment mathematical planning, experimental–statistical polynomia...

I find conditions under which the ”Weak Energy Principle” of Katz, Inagaki and Yahalom (1993) gives necessary and sufficient conditions. My conclusion is that, necessary and sufficient conditions of stability are obtained when we have only two mode coupling in the gyroscopic terms of the perturbed Lagrangian. To illustrate the power of this new energy principle, I have calculated the stability ...

In recent years, in Iran and other countries the power systems are going to move toward creating a competition structure for selling and buying electrical energy. These changes and the numerous advantages of DGs have made more incentives to use these kinds of generators than before. Therefore, it is necessary to study all aspects of DGs, such as size selection and optimal placement and impact o...
