In the southeast of bam, there is a collection of volcanic rocks with andesite, basalt and trachy andesite composition. The texture of these rocks are often porphyritic with microlithic, porphyric cavity, and sometimes glomerulophorphuri, sore throat trachytic. Main minerals include Olivine, Clinopyroxene, Plagioclase and secondary minerals including opaque minerals, Iodenzyte, secondary Biotit...

A transonic air stream flowing over a rectangular cavity or enclosure is unsteady. At certain flow conditions, large scale oscillations develop in the shear layer which, for an open cavity, spans across the whole enclosure. The convected shear layer instabilities interact with the cavity geometry, they generate resonance, and induce large amplitude wall pressure fluctuations, aerodynamic pressu...

Menopausal women display changes in the osseous tissue (osteoporosis, pathologic fractures) and disorders in the function of cardiovascular system (hypertension, cardiovascular disease, arteriosclerosis, calcification). Additionally, interdependence was observed between the loss of osseous tissue and disordered circulation, but the mechanism of the interdependence has never been fully recognize...

We report a high-temperature fiber-optic sensor based on measuring the spectral fringes of a Fabry–Pérot (FP) cavity on a microstructure fiber (MF) when the gas pressure in the cavity is varied through the holes in the MF. Theoretical analysis shows that the absolute temperature can be deduced from the slope of the spectral shift versus pressure curve, which requires no calibration and is insen...

To study penetrating traumatic brain injury biomechanics, a full metal jacket 9-mm handgun projectile was discharged into a transparent brain simulant (Sylgard gel). Five pressure transducers were placed at the entry (two), exit (two), and center (one) of the simulant. High-speed digital video photography at 20,000 frames per second (fps) was used to capture the temporal cavity pulsation. Press...

We propose and demonstrate a pressure sensor based on a micro air bubble at the end facet of a single mode fiber fusion spliced with a silica tube. When immersed into the liquid such as water, the air bubble essentially acts as a Fabry-Pérot interferometer cavity. Such a cavity can be compressed by the environmental pressure and the sensitivity obtained is >1000 nm/kPa, at least one order of ma...

It is well known that high hydrostatic pressures can induce the unfolding of proteins. The physical underpinnings of this phenomenon have been investigated extensively but remain controversial. Changes in solvation energetics have been commonly proposed as a driving force for pressure-induced unfolding. Recently, the elimination of void volumes in the native folded state has been argued to be t...

The mechanical design for both the insulating vacuum system and the cavity vacuum system of the APT ED&D Cryomodule is summarized. The pre-cooldown pressure limits for the insulating vacuum and the cavity vacuum are 10 -5 Torr and 10 -6 Torr, respectively. In addition, the cold cavity operating pressure limits are 10 -6 Torr for the insulating system and 10 -8 Torr for the cavity system. The de...

High-speed photography was used to study the collapse of a confined two-dimensional, air cavity in water, subjected to a propagating pressure disturbance. The 5–6 mm diameter cavity was confined in a rectangular duct. A sustained pressure disturbance was created by an accelerating piston in contact with the water 240 mm away from the bubble. The pressure increased from 0.1 MPa to about 0.12 MPa...

Basic properties of the incompressible fluid motion in a rectangular cavity located along one wall of a plane channel are considered. For Mach numbers of the order of 1×10(-3) and using the incompressible formulation, we look for observable properties that can be associated with acoustic emission, which is normally observed in this kind of flow beyond a critical value of Reynolds number. The fo...
