Shaking forces and shaking moments in high speed parallel manipulators are a significant cause of base vibrations. These vibrations can be eliminated by designing the manipulator to be shaking-force balanced and shaking-moment balanced. In this article an approach for the design and for the evaluation of high speed dynamically balanced parallel manipulators is presented and applied for a compar...

Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis [PSHA, e.g., Cornell (1968); Anderson and Trifunac (1978); McGuire (1977); McGuire (1995)], typically used in risk assessment and hazard mitigation, has so far relied on ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs), also called attenuation relations [e.g., the next generation attenuation relations or NGA by Campbell and Bozorgnia (2008); Chiou and Youngs (200...

reteplase is a segment of tissue plasminogen activator used for the removal of thrombi in blood vessels. in the present study the cloned reteplase gene was used for its expression in competent e. coli. the  recombinant plasmid, pet15b/reteplase (rpet-bl21), was transformed into competent e.coli strain bl21 (de3) cells. overnight culture of the transformed bacteria was induced by the addition of...

background: in this experimental study, the radiographic and biomechanical characteristics of osteoperforated rabbit tibia during bone repair period were investigated. materials and methods: using dental drills, 2 mm holes were drilled at the mid-shaft of right tibia in 12 new zealand white rabbits. the left tibia was intact and selected as the control. x-rays of the left and right tibias were ...

Abstract Background: Distribution of hepatitis C virus genotypes varies geographically and can be associated with clinical aspects. The virus has six major genotypes and eleven sub-genotypes. According to the recent studies, in hepatitis C patients, treatment duration and ribavirin dosage should be determined based on the type of virus genotype. Be...

Background Diabetes mellitus type I (DMTI) is one of the most common endocrine and metabolic conditions in childhood. We aimed to assess the tissue Doppler imagining changes in children with DMTI compared to healthy children. Materials and Methods This case-control study was performed on 96 DMTI and 96 healthy children. The d...
