In spite of the fact that the effect of earthquake on earth dams has been widely studied during the past decades, the complicated behavior of such earth structures against different seismological characteristics is still unknown. Such ambiguities necessitate more accurate studies using more comprehensive computation tools to achieve new results describing the behavior of such structures subject...

Numerical simulations of centrifuge experiments examining a sheet-pile wall with liquefiable backfill are conducted and results compared against the experimental responses to evaluate numerical tools’ ability accurately predict seismic performance this geosystem. The platform FLAC constitutive model PM4Sand used for simulations, focus is placed on displacements. influence relative density (D R ...

Introduction: Breast conserving radiotherapy is one of the most common procedures performed in any radiation oncology department. A tangential parallel-opposed pair is usually used for this purpose. This technique is performed using 2D or 3D treatment planning systems. The aim of this study was to compare 2D treatment planning with 3D treatment planning in tangential irradiation in breast conse...

lack of trust is one of the key bottle necks in e-commerce development. nowadays many advanced technologies are trying to address the trust issues in e-commerce. one among them suggests using suitable user interfaces. this paper investigates the functionality and capabilities of 3d graphical user interfaces in regard to trust building in the customers of next generation of b2c e-commerce websit...

3D printers are tools utilized to create real 3D samples using the 3D files within your computer. The first feasibility and idea of such tools dates back to 1950. The very first sketch of 3D printers was presented in 1980s called "Rapid Prototyping" and the first sample was developed by Charles Hall and it was recorded with the name of the same scientist. But the current 3D printers were fi...

Soil-liquefaction-related hazards can damage structures or lead to an extensive loss of life and property. Therefore, the stability safety against soil liquefaction are essential for evaluation in earthquake design. In practice, simplified analysis procedure associated with numerical simulation is most used approach evaluating behavior effectiveness mitigation plans. First, occurrence evaluated...

Background: Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) techniques are used for the treatment of patients with laryngeal cancer. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of these 2 treatment techniques on the planning target volume (PTV) (laryngeal cancer), dose homogeneity, dose of organs at...

a thorough recognition of the nature and duties of the genes is based upon having adequate information about the proteins. however, the proteomic projects follow a slow trend; therefore, solving the protein-related problems has become as one of the most important challenges in bio-informatics. consequently, the presence of tools which can enhance the structural recognition, classification, and ...
