In this article fluid-structure interaction of vibrating composite piezoelectric plates is investigated. Since the plate is assumed to be moderately thick, rotary inertia effects and transverse shear deformation effects are deliberated by applying exponential shear deformation theory. Fluid velocity potential is acquired using the Laplace equation, and fluid boundary conditions and wet dynamic ...

Introduction: meconium is the thick, Green - Black, with a bad odor material,  that founded around the third month of pregnancy in the intestines of fetus. 8 to 15 percent of infants has the evidence of meconium stained fluid at birth. In this study the factors affecting maternal and neonatal meconium-stained amniotic fluid be examined. Methods: This study was done in the Vali-e- asr hospital ...

In this study, synthetic sulfonated polymers were used in order to enhance the rheological properties of drilling fluids. The capability of these polymers in reducing the effects of environmentally friendly, but harmful, pollutants such as cement, calcium chloride, gypsum as well as pH changes were investigated. In the present work, two sulfonated synthetic polymers, namely Polythin and Polydri...

Introduction: Metritis is one of the causes of maternal morbidity and there are many risk factors for it. Because of the importance of possible association of meconium-stained amniotic fluid and maternal metritis the present study was done to determine whether meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) is associated with puerperal infection. Methods: In this case-control study 150 women with MSAF a...

Background: Animal and in vitro studies have shown that 25-OH vitamin D plays a significant role in different parts of body. Few data exist about the role of 25- OH vitamin D in reproduction. Insufficient levels during pregnancy are potentially associated with increased risk of preeclampsia, insulin resistance and gestational diabetes mellitus. Recently, few studies have assessed the prognostic...

wind turbines are important devices that extract clean energy from wind flow. the efficiency of wind turbines should be examined under various working conditions in order to estimate off-design performance. numerous aerodynamic and structural research works have been carried out to compute aeroelastic effects on wind turbines. most of them suffer from either the simplicity of the modelling appr...

to investigate uterine fluid and serum calcium (ca) and magnesium (mg) variations during the estrus cycle in water buffaloes, 71 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from the abattoir in urmia. the phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examining ovarian structures. 18 animals were pro-estrous, 15 estrous, 16 met-estrous and 22 diestrous. the uterine fluid was collected by gent...

the patient with head trauma is a challenge for the emergency physician and for the neurosurgeon. currently traumatic brain injury constitutes a public health problem. knowledge of the various supportive therapeutic strategies in the pre-hospital and pre-operative stages is essential for optimal care. the immediate rapid infusion of large volumes of crystalloids to restore blood volume and bloo...

background: asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease with multifactorial and complicated mechanisms. elevated level of exhaled nitric oxide (no) in asthma and other inflammatory lung diseases has led to many studies examining no as a potential marker of airway inflammation. objective: this study was designed to determine the level of no in bronchoalveolar lavage (bal) fluid during early and lat...
