The vertical and rocking impedances of a rigid foundation resting on a semi-infinite transversely isotropic medium are obtained in the frequency domain. In the present approach, the contact pressure distribution on the soil foundation-interface is approximated by a linear combination of known pressure patterns. It is shown herein that the approximate solutions of spatial displacement distributi...

introduction: world health organization (who) introduced hypertension as an epidemic in developing countries. however, hypertension is adequately controlled in only 12.5% of patients.  the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between ramadan fasting and mean arterial pressure (map). methods: this clinical, observational study was carried out at medical o.p.d of jinnah medical coll...

background: hypertension is a risk factor for many diseases. nutritional methods are considered as major tools in lifestyle modification for lowering blood pressure. the present study was conducted to determine the level of dietary adherence in hypertensive patients. methods: this descriptive-analytical study was performed in 2015, on hypertensive patients who were referred to heart clinic of s...

globalization effects on social security systems and on social expenditures in different countries will be analyzed in this chapter. our consentration is yet on anglo-saxon countries . but it is assumed that many offer countries are under the same pressure of globalization on their social security expenses as the anglo-saxon countries . this will be examined later in another chapter. in previou...

the mechanical properties including elastic stiffness constants as well as bulk modulus of palladium (pd) nanowire were calculated in the constant temperature and pressure (npt), ensemble by molecular dynamics (md) simulation technique. the quantum sutton-chen (q-sc) many-body potential was used to calculate the cohesive energy as well as forces experience by every atoms. the temperature and pr...

andalusite, kyanite and sillimanite occur in well-defined zones in the ardara aureole, nwireland. temperature and pressure conditions of the al2sio5-bearing pelites in this aureole wereestimated using ten different calibrations of garnet-biotite thermometry and five calibrations of garnetplagioclase-al2sio5-quartz barometry. the different calibrations provide different estimates oftemperature a...

Regarding the increased energy consumption of the processes at the operational units in the National Iranian Oil Company, the present study analyzed energy consumption at one of the gas refineries. In this refinery, which is the main supplier of Fajr Jam refinery for the national gas network, as well as an injection into the oil fields of the Iranian South oil company, the pressure of gas after...

rupture and wrinkling are two prevalent phenomena that happen in hydro-forming process. many efforts have been made to achieve the upper and lower bounds for the pressure related to rupture and wrinkling of sheet, respectively. the aim of this investigation is to improve the upper bound of fluid pressure in hydro-forming process by hemispherical punch. in this article, analytical study of the u...
