Nowadays, light weight and high strength metals are being used in various industries such as automotive and aerospace. Using aluminum-magnesium alloys is an efficient way to reduce the weight of a specific part. These alloys have poor formability in room temperature thus they should be formed at elevated temperature. Warm hydroforming and hot metal gas forming are conventional methods to form ...

Late Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian schists have been occurred in southwest of Zanjan city from the Soltanieh belt. The Soltanieh belt in northwest of Iran is uplifted basement of Precambrian-Paleozoic in main central Iran zone and includes outcrops of Precambrian, Paleozoic and Mesozoic Formations. Late Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian schists, the oldest stratigraphy unit in the region, consist o...

We examined the hypothesis that lowered cognitive performance plays a role in the relation between elevated blood pressure and physical disability in performing basic physical tasks. A community-based sample (N=1025) free from stroke and dementia (mean age: 61.1 years; SD: 13.0 years; 59.8% women) was used. Using path analysis, systolic and diastolic blood pressures (predictor variable) measure...

In recent years, hydroforming process has been applied in different industries such as aerospace, automotive and military industries due to its advantages, such as high dimensional accuracy, capability of forming complicated parts and high drawing ratio. Hydrodynamic deep drawing with radial pressure is one type of hydroforming process. In this paper, forming of cylindrical cups in hydrodynamic...

In a survey of dust devil activity at a desert playa using continuous monitoring by a pressure logger, we have detected a number of pressure drops with complex structures: simple and symmetric drops make up only 25–30% of the total. In contrast to the simple, symmetric single-dip profiles expected for singlecell vertical vortices gliding past the pressure sensor, many profiles have an asymmetri...

Background: Low Back Pain (LBP) is one of the most prevalent problems associated with sport activities. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between pain and plantar pressure variables. In addition, we compared these variables in male and female athletes with LBP. Methods: In this study, 47 participants with the age range of 18 to 25 years w...

purpose : to investigate the effects of mtp-131 on trabeculum cells cultured under hydrostatic pressure methods : glaucomatous human trabecular meshwork (gtm3) cells were divided into three groups: the mtp-131 group, the hydrostatic group, and the normal group. the mtp-131 group was pretreated with 1 µm mtp-131, and the cells were then cultured under 80 mmhg pressure for 24 hours. the normal gr...
