In this paper, nonlinear dynamic behaviour of the carbon nanotube conveying fluid in slip boundary conditions is studied using the variation iteration method. The developed solutions are used to investigate the effects of various parameters on the nonlinear vibration of the nanotube. The results indicate that an increase in the slip parameter leads to a decrease in the frequency of vibration an...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the EGM method and the behavior of a solid particle suspended in a twodimensional rectangular cavity due to conjugate natural convection. A thermal lattice Boltzmann BGK model is implemented to simulate the two dimensional natural convection and the particle phase was modeled using the Lagrangian–Lagrangian approach where the solid particles are treat...

OBJECTIVES Collagen disorganization is one of the main degradation patterns found in unsuccessful adhesive restorations. The hypothesis of this study was that pretreatment using natural collagen cross-linking agents rich in proanthocyanidin (PA) would improve mechanical properties and stability over time of the dentin collagen and, thus, confer a more resistant and lasting substrate for adhesiv...

Both synthetic and natural estrogens have been studied for their ability to induce renal carcinomas in castrated male ham sters after 9.0 months of treatment. Tumor foci were detected in frozen serial sections stained histochemically for esterase activity. Both diethylstilbestrol (DES) and 17.^-estradiol had equal ability (100%) to induce renal tumors [~20.5 ±3 (S.E.) tumor foci] in these anim...

Bed bugs are resurging throughout the world, and, thus, effective pest control strategies are constantly needed. A few studies have evaluated 25(b) and other natural, or so-called "green" products, as well as over-the-counter insecticides for bed bugs, but additional studies are needed to determine efficacy of bed bug control products. This double-blinded research project was initiated to exami...

MUller (5), that some human tumors could be selectively destroyed by prolonged heating at temperatures below 55°C. and that the effects of irradiation were potentiated by heating. Between 1921 and 1955 Rhodenburgand Prime (6), Wester mark (10), and Warren (9) published studies on the effects of heat and of heat combined with radiation on tumors of animals and of man. Since 1955 little signific...
