The main purpose of this study was to determine the factors affecting the export of flowers in Iran. After data collection using by the index of Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), the condition of business of flowers in Iran was compared with a number of countries exporting the product. According to the results of study, the small elasticity of the exportation price in the function of export...

The effects of homogeneous low voltage electron beam irradiation (HLEBI) on the adhesive strength of different polymers without glue but with sterilization were investigated. HLEBI at more than 0.043MGy generated adhesive force and enhanced fracture strain at the interface in polycarbonate (PC) composites covered with nylon6 film. HLEBI at less than 0.130MGy increased the elasticity (d =d") and...

Evidence has shown that the provision of product information in electronic markets decreases the price elasticity of demand due to the ‘fit’ cost. This effect, however, could differ according to how consumers perceive the value of the product information to their quality evaluation procedures. If the information has very limited value, then they may not rely on it; thus, the demand elasticity m...

during the past two decades, the use of bioplastics as an alternative to regular plastics has received much attention in many different industries. the mechanical and degradable properties of bioplastic are important for their utilization. in this research cellulose of wheat straw and glycerol were mixed by different weight ratios and then reinforced by using date palm fibers. to prepare the bi...

To control cell motility is one of the essential technologies for biomedical engineering. To establish a methodology of the surface design of elastic substrate to control the long-range cell movements, here we report a sophisticated cell culture hydrogel with a micro-elastically patterned surface that allows long-range durotaxis. This hydrogel has a saw-like pattern with asymmetric gradient rat...

Nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape-memory alloys (SMAs) have been used in the manufacture of orthodontic wires due to their shape memory properties, super-elasticity, high ductility, and resistance to corrosion. SMAs have greater strength and lower modulus of elasticity when compared with stainless steel alloys. The pseudoelastic behavior of NiTi wires means that on unloading they return to their ori...

introduction :the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the in vitro effect of the erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser with different radiation distances and high-speed rotary treatment on the shear bond strength of flowable composite to enamel of human permanent posterior teeth . methods : freshly extracted human molar teeth with no caries or other surface defects were ...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate tumor stiffness by ultrasound elastography, which has the potential to provide additional information that is useful in predicting the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) patients. In total, 32 patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage III and IV epithelial ovarian ...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Composite resin may be used in different temperatures; it is crucial to determine the effect of temperature on mechanical properties of nanohybrid and silorane-based composite. PURPOSE This in vitro study compared the flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of nanohybrid and silorane-based resin composite, at 4˚C, room temperature (25˚C), and 45˚C. MATERIALS AND...
