We characterize the natural diagonal almost product (locally product) structures on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. We obtain the conditions under which the tangent bundle endowed with the determined structure and with a metric of natural diagonal lift type is a Riemannian almost product (locally product) manifold, or an (almost) para-Hermitian manifold. We find the natural diagona...

bubble columns are gas- liquid contactors that are widely used in chemical and bio- chemical industries. high mixing that result in high heat and mass transfer rates are amongst their advantages. heat transfer in a bubble column having a bundle of heaters investigated and the variation of heat transfer coefficient with variation in heaters pitch to diameter ratios in a bundle of heaters reporte...

Let $p:Xlo B$ be a locally trivial principal G-bundle and $wt{p}:wt{X}lo B$ be a locally trivial principal $wt{G}$-bundle. In this paper, by using the structure of principal bundles according to transition functions, we show that $wt{G}$ is a covering group of $G$ if and only if $wt{X}$ is a covering space of $X$. Then we conclude that a topological space $X$ with non-simply connected universal...

There is controversy in the literature regarding a number of topics related to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)reconstruction. The purpose of this article is to answer the following questions: 1) Bone patellar tendon bone (BPTB) reconstruction or hamstring reconstruction (HR); 2) Double bundle or single bundle; 3) Allograft or authograft; 4) Early or late reconstruction; 5) Rate of return to sp...

Virus assembly and maturation proceed through the programmed operation of molecular switches, which trigger both local and global structural rearrangements to produce infectious particles. HIV-1 contains an assembly and maturation switch that spans the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the capsid (CA) region and the first spacer peptide (SP1) of the precursor structural protein, Gag. The crystal struc...

A study was undertaken to compare the anatomy of the laminar floral parts with that of the spathes and leaves of Commelina erecta L. Each flower has two types of petals and two types of sepals. In contrast to the other organs, the petals have a completely open venation system whose vein endings consist solely of modified bundle-sheath cells. Bundle sheaths of leaves and spathes, but not the flo...

the main purpose of this study is to perform numerical simulation of nanofluids as the coolant in vver-440 fuel rod bundle. the fuel rod bundle contains 60 fuel rods with length of 960 mm and 4 spacer grids. in vver-440 fuel rod bundle the coolant fluid (water) is in high pressure and temperature condition. in the present thermo-hydraulic simulation, water-al2o3 nanofluids containing various vo...

catheter ablation is an accepted, highly effective modality of treatment for cardiac arrhythmias in children. the success rate depends on the operator’s experience, especially in cases involving complex anatomies. we hereby report our recent experience of successful ablation of accessory pathways in three children with complex congenital heart diseases. the first case was a 7-year-old girl with...
