The influence of the martensitic, martensitic+austenitic and austenitic structures in bending training on two-way shape memory effect (TWSME) in Ni-50.8 at %Ti and Ni-49.9 at %Ti alloys was studied. In addition of the primary structure, the effect of pre-strain, plastic strain, training cycle and training temperature on the TWSME was investigated. The prepared samples were trained in martensiti...

In March, 2003, the editor of The Lancet attended an international conference in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, on primary-care research, subsequently running a rather dyspeptic editorial entitled "Is primary-care research a lost cause?" This article highlighted the unacceptable weakness of primary-care research worldwide. A particular concern of the conference was the shortage of primary care rese...

In this paper we introduce the notion of classical quasi-primary submodules that generalizes the concept of classical primary submodules. Then, we investigate decomposition and minimal decomposition into classical quasi-primary submodules. In particular, existence and uniqueness of classical quasi-primary decompositions in finitely generated modules over Noetherian rings are proved. More...

Measurement of chlorophyll-a can be considered important to investigate the primary production of an ecosystem. This study aimed to investigate chlorophyll-a concentration, primary production and the factors affecting them in Shadegan Wetland located in Khouzestan Province - Iran. Sampling for measuring (NO3, PO4, BOD5, DO, pH, EC, salinity, temperature) was performed seasonally at five samplin...

primary-like and weakly primary-like submodules are two new generalizations of primary ideals from rings to modules. in fact, the class of primary-like submodules of a module lie between primary submodules and weakly primary-like submodules properly.  in this note, we show that these three classes coincide when their elements are submodules of a multiplication module and satisfy the primeful pr...
