abstract at present study constant rate of strain (crs) consolidation under non-darcy condition was investigated. in this study a governing conditions of drainage pore water were investigated using proposed equation. the crs experiments under different rates of strain were conducted on different soil samples. results these experiments and there comparison with proposed equation showed that flow...

computers are used everywhere from home to work these days, thus the effects on the visual system will be more noticeable every day. problems associated with computer usage are generally known as the computer vision syndrome (cvs).these problems include eye fatigue, irritation ,redness , blurred vision and dry eye. all of these problems have adverse effects on individuals in the long term and r...

background : toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that infects humans at high preva-lence rates. the virulent rh strain of t. gondii is generally considered to have lost its cyst forming ca-pacity. this study performed to obtain tissue cysts in mice infected with tachyzoites of rh strain treated with sulfadiazine (sdz). it provides the opportunity to analyze the conversion of...

the efficacy of clindamycin and monensin were evaluated in the prevention of oocyst shedding of kittens with toxoplasma gondii (tehran strain). in this study, 28 healthy kittens aged 1.5 – 2 months old divided randomly into 4 groups of seven. in group 1, kittens were fed with the infected brain tissues of mice, all of seven kittens (100 %), shed oocyst, nearly 1 week after infection, which last...

background: cervical spine sustains most of thevertebral column injuries, among other injuries, the disc degeneration and damage that lead to replacement of the damaged disc with cage or artificial disc. methods: the c4 to c6 vertebrae of a normal subject and a person with interbody fusion cage were 3d modelled and then analyzed using finite element method. the results of maximum stress and str...

conclusions the results showed that, compared to participants with normal weights, physiological and thermal perceptual responses were higher in overweight participants. therefore, overweight individuals should avoid hot/dry weather conditions to decrease the amount of heat strain. results in both groups, oral temperature, heart rate, and thermal perceptual responses increased during heat expos...
