a new model is proposed in this research to calculate the longitudinal strengthof unidirectional e-glass reinforced polymer composites exposed to sulfuricacid environment, using a micromechanics model. in the proposed method,it is assumed that the residual strength of the degraded composites under acidic environment can be calculated by knowing the degraded strength properties of the constituen...

climate change is found to be the most important global issue in the 21st century, so to monitor its trend is of great importance. atmospheric general circulation models because of their large scale computational grid are not able to predict climatic parameters on a point scale, so small scale methods should be adapted. among downscaling methods, statistical methods are used as they are easy to...

background & aim: esophageal cancer is one of the main common causes of death. the high prevalence of esophageal cancer in northern iran is an important public health problem. the main aim of this paper was to assess the factors affecting survival of  atients with esophageal cancer in neighbor provinces around the caspian sea using weibull mixture cure model and mixture cure model based on a no...

background: despite their simplicity and the low-cost, the conventional non-contact uv systems have low efficiency in water disinfection. the purpose of this study was to examine the possibility of upgrading these systems by some modifications in order to maximize the water contact with the uv radiation and as a result a better disinfection.    methods: in this study, two enhanced models of non...

introduction: since nurses are the largest group of health care providers playing an important role in responding to disasters, evaluating the state of nursing and nursing knowledge about common patterns of disasters is undeniable in importance and necessity. however, based on studies conducted by researchers, there are few models for nursing that show nurses’ disaster readiness. this study was...

in this paper the real time operation of an automatic teller machine (atm) is analyzed using atimed petri net (tpn) model. in the modeling, the probability of arrivals, the speed andattentiveness of customers (clients) are taken to account. different parameters are based onthe statistical data. the model is simulated for 24 hours. the diagrams of number ofsucceeded customers, failed references ...

background: a good animal model for coronary surgery experiments has been difficult to establish. an ideal model should have the closest morphological resemblance to human beings. the objective of this study is to establish sheep as a model for these experiments. methods: the anatomical aspects of left anterior descending coronary artery (lad) and right internal thoracic artery (rita) in the sh...

The purpose of this study was to examine the expected returns of Carhart model compared to the capital asset pricing model and the implicit capital cost model based on cash and capital returns of growth and value stocks. The statistical population consisted of the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange and the time domain is between 2007 and 2016. By choosing Cochran sampling, 126 companies ...

Infiltration process plays an important role in water cycle of the nature. Conducting field experiments is necessary to determine the coefficients of infiltration equations due to the dependence of these coefficients to the soil type, soil surface conditions and the amount of initial soil moisture content. This study has been carried out in a field located in Islamic Azad University, Marvdasht ...
