abstract accurate prediction of river flow is one of the most important factors in surface water recourses management especially during floods and drought periods. in fact deriving a proper method for flow forecasting is an important challenge in water resources management and engineering. although, during recent decades, some black box models based on artificial neural networks (ann), have bee...

one of the goals of financial reporting is to provide the useful information in order to facilitate the decision making. accounting information system is of high importance for the users to make specific decisions. the information should be analyzed to present the valuable information to the investors so that in this paper, the relative content and return additive with cash recovery have been a...

rayleigh-taylor (rt) instability has a growing importance in many fields including aircraft industry and astrophysics. the development and the growth of rt instability were investigated using sinusoidal disturbances with different wavelength at the interface of two fluids. numerical simulations were performed by solving navier-stokes unsteady equations with the vof formulation. results of the 2...

in the management and evaluation of asthma, simple instruments for measurements of peak expiratory flow rate (pefr) are necessary. the aim of this study was to determine normal pefr of the healthy children in babol, iran. this study was randomly done on 1050 students (primary and secondary schools) in babol. mini-wright peak flow meter was used for measurement of pefr. the range of age, weight ...

background: magnetic nanoparticles in a variable magnetic field are able to produce heat. this heat (42-45°c) has more selective effect on fast dividing cancer cells than normal tissues. methods: in this work magnetite nanoparticles have been prepared via co-precipitation and phase identification was performed by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd). magnetic parameters of the prepared nanoparticles ...

background: the interaction between the blood and the vessel wall is of great clinical interest in studying cardiovascular diseases, the major causes of death in developed countries. objective: to understand the effects of incorporating fluid-structure interaction into the simulation of blood flow through an anatomically realistic model of abdominal aorta and renal arteries reconstructed from c...

exact solution for steady two-dimensional flow of an incompressible magma is obtained. themagmatic flow is studied by considering the magma as a second grade fluid. the governing partialdifferential equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations by symmetry transformations. resultsare discussed through graphs to understand the rheology of the flowing magma

The typical installation of a heat exchange device usually involves a flow contraction at the core entrance and a flow expansion at the core exit. Repeated flow Contraction and expansion are experienced in the flow passages of some compact heat exchangers. The latter refers to the flow passages in the plate-fin type with louvered fins or stripped fins and in the tubular type with dimpled-circul...
