sugarcane, which has high water requirements, is grown in khuzestan province (iran). climate and optimizing the use of water is very important to sustainable cultivation of sugarcane. studies of water requirements for sugar cane in khuzestan show that in parts of sugarcane agro-industry, the water applied is more than the actual water requirement of the plant. the present study was conducted to...

The expression of the anti-apoptotic molecules Bcl-2 and transforming growth factor-beta 1 is known to confer protective effects on the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. The current study investigated the expression levels of Bcl-2 and transforming growth factor-beta 1 in response to multiple pre-ischemia electro-acupuncture at acupoints Zusanli (ST36) and Fengchi (GB20) stimulation. Rats w...

The physical mechanisms responsible for the electrical orientation and electrical rotation of metal nanowires suspended in an electrolyte as a function of frequency of the applied ac electric field are examined theoretically and experimentally. The alignment of a nanowire in an ac field with a fixed direction is called electro-orientation. The induced constant rotation of a nanowire in a rotati...

As oil fields age, artificial lift systems are required to maintain production levels when reservoir pressures get too low. Failure of an ESP in a well can stop production or even lead to a dangerous event. ESPs are fitted with downhole monitoring units that transmit streams of data back to the surface including: motor temperature, pump intake pressure, intake temperature motor vibration, and m...

The paper introduces an electro-mechanical transducer finite element (EMT) for the strongly coupled simulation of micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) devices in the commercial finite element analysis (FEA) package ANSYS.
