hdpe monofilaments were obtained using different extruders and drawn by post-extruder equipments. after solidification, drawn and undrawn monofilaments (draw ratio 7:1) were irradiated with 10 mev electron beams in air at room temperature at 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 kgy dose ranges to induce a network structure. hdpe crosslinking was studied on the basis of gel content measurements. the fibers w...

using satellite imagery for the study of earth's resources is attended by manyresearchers. in fact, the various phenomena have different spectral response inelectromagnetic radiation. one major application of satellite data is the classification ofland cover. in recent years, a number of classification algorithms have been developed forclassification of remote sensing data. one of the most nota...

background: the dependency ratio (dr) is defined as the ratio of the non-working population to the economically active population. dependency ratio is calculated by the sum of population under fifteen years and over 65 years divided by 15-64 year old population. the interpretation of dr variation gives us the impact of health care services and some reproductive interventions. this study analyze...

a research program was conducted on different clay-bearing rocks selected from the ilam, sarpol-e zahab and tajarak regions (iran) to predict their slaking characteristics. the new durability apparatus (nested mesh drums) separates disintegrated particles varying from > 25.4 to < 2 mm as the drums were rotated. on the basis of the particle size distribution, the disintegration ratio (dr) was us...

background: to evaluate the present status of blood utilization and develop practice guidelines in teaching hospitals in northern iran. methods: we retrospectively analyzed the amount of blood prepared and used preoperatively for 11 elective procedures, from march 2010 to march 2011 in teaching hospitals in northern iran. study variables included the crossmatch transfusion ratio, the transfusio...

conclusions the extract contains substances that are effective on the delivery rate, sex ratio, and the number of newborns in the female rats. it may affect through the ionic changes in the rats, by modifying the activity of follicle-stimulating and testosterone hormones, and/or changing the rate of fertilizing ability of sperms containing y chromosome. this phenomenon may also be due to loweri...

cosmic rays in the upper troposphere (9000 meters to 15000 meters) initiate the followingnuclear chemical reaction: 1n + 14n => 14c + 1h. previous research has shown a strong effect of latitude onthe abundance of neutrons from cosmic rays. however, to date, there has been little exploration of therelationship between the latitude effect for cosmic-ray neutrons and latitudinal variations of stab...
