expansive soils show swelling and shrinkage behavior when subjected to cyclic wetting and drying. the variation in water content influence the volume change in this kind of soil. these volume changes can cause ground movement which may result in damage to the buildings and structures. to study the behavior, a number of successive wetting-drying cycles were conducted on a statically compacted ex...

introduction: there is substantial evidence that the technical quality of root canalfilling has a significant effect on the outcome of root canal treatment. theaim of this study was to evaluate the technical quality of root canal fillingsperformed by dental students. methods: the records of 325 teethradiographs, treated by dental students in 2008-2009 in babol dental school,were selected and ev...

Chip scale package (CSP) technology offers promising solutions to package power device due to its relatively good thermal performance among other factors. Solder thermal interface materials (STIMs) are often employed at the die bond layer of a chip-scale packaged power device to enhance heat transfer from the chip to the heat spreader. Nonetheless, the presence of voids in the solder die-attach...

Leachate recirculation (LR) in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills operated as bioreactors offers significant economic and environmental benefits. The subsurface application method of vertical wells is one of the most common LR techniques. The objective of this study was to develop a novel two-dimensional model of leachate recirculation using vertical wells. This novel method can describe lea...
