in this paper, based on the slab method of analysis, a novel and general approach isdeveloped for studying the radial forging process with curved profile dies. the presented approachis not only more general with respect to previous studies, but it is also easier to understand and useand can be efficiently used for optimization of the die profile depending on the forging geometryand conditions. ...

organizational culture has a significant influence on the success of organizations. culture determines the kinds of responses that the organization makes to required changes and will make to new problems. it can help predict how well the organization will deal with change. one of these changes is a knowledge management project. knowledge is viewed as a driver in the definition and development o...

in the present study, we examined the antioxidative activities of satureja khuzestanica essential oil (ske) and possible protective effect of ske on lipid profile, atherogenic index and liver enzyme markers in alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic rats. thirty male rats were randomly divided into three groups; group one as control, group two diabetic untreatment, and group three treatments with ske b...

eight samples of flowering tops from six species of the genus crataegus l., commonly called hawthorn, from different geographic locations of iran were standardized according to german pharmacopoeia monograph on crataegi folium cum flore (hawthorn leaf with flower) by high-performance thin-layer chromatograph-ic (hptlc) fingerprinting combining with digital scanning profiling of their major poly...
