objective: this study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity, phytochemical studies and thin layer chromatography analysis of machine oil, hexane extract of seed oil and methanol extract of presscake& latex of jatropha curcas linn (family euphorbiaceae). materials and methods: j. curcas extracts were subjected to preliminary qualitative phytochemical screening to detect the major phytochem...

the dynamic response of a transversely isotropic, linearly elastic layer bonded to the surface of a half-space of a different transversely isotropic material under arbitrary shape surface loads is considered. with the help of displacements and stresses green’s functions, an analytical formulation is presented for the determination of the displacements and stresses at any point in both surface l...

it has been demonstrated that anxiety is accompanied by significant warm up in the periorbital area. this warm up was attributed to the increased blood circulation in the area around the eyes. the whole pattern makes physiological and evolutionary sense since it represents a mechanism to facilitate rapid eye movements during preparedness for fight. this increased blood flow dissipates convectiv...

based on three-dimensional theory of elasticity, static analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (fg-cntrc) cylindrical panel subjected to mechanical uniformed load with simply supported boundary conditions is carried out. in the process, stress and displacement fields are expanded according to the fourier series along the axial and circumferential coordinates. from ...

dye sensitized solar cell was fabricated from a double layer photoanode. first, tio2 nanoparticles  were synthesized by hydrothermal method. these tio2 nps were deposited on fto glasses by electrophoretic deposition  method in applied voltage of 5 v and epd time of 2.5-10 min. then tio2 hollow spheres (hss) were synthesized by sacrificed template method with carbon spheres as template and ttip ...

the spreading activation models of mental lexicon's structure have presented the lexicon in multiple layers (semantic- syntactic- phonological). each layer is a network of nodes which are associated by links. the nature of these links is different from layer to layer. the literature for english speakers has shown that in the phonological layer, phonological forms of words have been linked based...

This paper researches two key factors (angle and thickness) of a weak layer in relation to their influencing mechanism on slope stability. It puts forward the sliding surface angle and morphological model criteria for the control of rock slopes and realization of its failure mechanism. By comparing the Failure Modes and Safety Factors (Fs) obtained from numerical analysis, the influence pattern...

background: motorcycle accidents and sport accidents lead yearly to many head injuries like head fractures and concussion. so finding the most proper helmet for reducing the injuries to head can be very helpful for head protection in such cases. methods: after 3d modeling of the helmet and head and meshing the model, a compressive impacting load of 1.31mpa was exerted on head and the model was ...

In this note, small amplitude free vibration of a double-beam system in presence of inner layer nonlinearity is investigated. The nonlinearity is due to inner layer material and is not related to large amplitude vibration. At first, frequencies of a double-beam system with linear inner layer are studied and categorized as synchronous and asynchronous frequencies. It is revealed that the inner l...

In this study, the effect of cladded tungsten carbide layer upon HSS - M2 tool steel on microstructure, hardness, and wear behavior has been studied in two cases without using the middle layer and using the middle layer of nickel. Tungsten Carbide cladded on HSS - M2 tool steel by Arc Weld ( SMAW ). The ASTM-G65 wear test was used to determine its application for use in the mineral indus...
