In this paper, the free vibration behaviors and flexural sensitivity of atomic force microscope cantilevers with small-scale effects are investigated. To study the small-scale effects on natural frequencies and flexural sensitivity, the consistent couple stress theory is applied. In this theory, the couple stress is assumed skew-symmetric. Unlike the classical beam theory, the new model contain...

This study investigated how Cantonese lexical tone sensitivity contributed to English lexical stress sensitivity among Cantonese children who learned English as a second language (ESL). Five-hundred-and-sixteen second-to-third grade Cantonese ESL children were tested on their Cantonese lexical tone sensitivity, English lexical stress sensitivity, general auditory sensitivity, and working memory...

BACKGROUND Daily-life stress sensitivity is associated with depression, but prospective data are lacking. AIMS To examine associations between baseline ecological daily-life stress sensitivity and later depression, and to identify genetic and non-genetic factors moderating the transition from stress sensitivity to depression. METHOD Daily-life stress sensitivity was assessed at baseline in ...

abstract water deficit is a major problem for the successful production of agricultural products in iran. this research was conducted to evaluate drought tolerance indices and identifying drought tolerant cultivars of canola. twenty eight canola cultivars were sassed implementing complete block designs experiments in normal and drought stress conditions at isfahan university of technology resea...

This research was performed to determine the efficiency effect of sedimentary environment of Kerman City area on soil structure bycomparing natural and reconstituted consolidation curves. In this regard, four different criteria such as sensitivity strength, stresssensitivity, Schmertman criteria and the result of the uniaxial compression test were used. The base of these criteria is to compare ...
