However, problems such as osteoporosis due to high elasticity of metals relative to bones, and local infections and systemic problems caused by releasing metallic ions have motivated research on replacing metallic screws with non metallic ones. In this study, the composite containing poly-l-lactic acid and bioactive glass fibers were considered for the design of the screw using ABAQUS software ...

introduction: today, have been approved scientifically relationship between presence of asbestos fibers in the human respiratory area and malignant diseases such as lung advanced fibrosis (asbestosis), gastrointestinal, lung and laryngeal cancers. the aim of this study was the determination of asbestos fibers concentration in yazd city’s air in the summer of 2015. methods: this is a descriptive...

In this work, raw fibers of a local species of stabraq (milkweed) were scoured, bleached and blended with cotton fibers with a ratio of 75/25 (cotton/stabraq). The improved stabraq fibers, scoured and bleached cotton and the blended fibers were spun into fine yarns and then they were subjected to dyeing with two types of reactive dyes namely, cold brand and high exhaustion brand reactive dye at...

Colored range queries are a well-studied topic in computational geometry and database research that, in the past decade, have found exciting applications in information retrieval. In this paper we give improved time and space bounds for three important one-dimensional colored range queries — colored range listing, colored range top-k queries and colored range counting — and, thus, new bounds fo...

Traditionally, stochastic differential equations used in the physical sciences have involved Gaussian white noise. ' In recent times, however, white noise has been replaced by colored noise in a variety of contexts. Laser noise problems and first passage time problems have been shown to necessitate the use of colored noise instead of white noise. Even the mathematical foundations for the theory...

abstract introduction: interferential current is one of the most popular kinds of electrical stimulation that are used in electrotherapy. despite its clinical popularity, there have been limited studies to investigate how this stimulation protocol affects the nerve fibers. this study was aimed to develop a realistic model for the stimulation of nerve fibers by interferential currents and using ...

We first consider the following problem. We are given a fixed perfect matching M of [n] and we add random edges one at a time until there is a Hamilton cycle containing M . We show that w.h.p. the hitting time for this event is the same as that for the first time there are no isolated vertices in the graph induced by the random edges. We then use this result for the following problem. We genera...

It is shown that for every > 0 and n > n0( ), any complete graph K on n vertices whose edges are colored so that no vertex is incident with more than (1 − 1 √ 2 − )n edges of the same color, contains a Hamilton cycle in which adjacent edges have distinct colors. Moreover, for every k between 3 and n any such K contains a cycle of length k in which adjacent edges have distinct colors.
