Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is becoming increasingly important, especially to the oil and gas industry as more and more reservoirs are soured due to increased practice of water flooding and pipelines are aging (some even beyond their anticipated life expectancies). Despite the fact that MIC research has been going on for several decades, there is much confusion in the MIC liter...

غلاف سوخت‌های هسته‌ای یکی از مهم‌ترین اجزا رآکتور محسوب می‌شود. این غلاف‌ها آلیاژ زیرکونیم ساخته می‌شوند؛ اما خواص ترمومکانیکی چندان مناسبی ندارند؛ لذا در پژوهش سعی شده با تغییر مواد به‌کاررفته NuScale به یک نوترونیکی و مناسب دست پیدا شود. قلب موجب ضریب تکثیر مؤثر طول بازه سوخت‌گذاری می‌گردد. شبیه‌سازی که M5 بهره می‌برد به‌عنوان معیار هم‌­چنین همراه سه نوع دیگر آلیاژهای رایج دو آن FeCrAl است، د...

MIC-A and MIC-B are distant MHC class I homologs that serve as stress-inducible Ags on epithelial and epithelially derived cells. They are ligands for the widely expressed activating immunoreceptor NKG2D. To define the structural and functional consequences of sequence differences between MIC-A and MIC-B and between alleles of MIC-A and alleles of MIC-B, we determined the crystal structure of o...

Performance of multistage interference cancellation (MIC) and three combining techniques, i.e., multipath decorrelating (MIC-DECO), optimum combining (MIC-OPTM), and Rake combining (MIC-RAKE) for asynchronous QPSK/ DS/CDMA over frequency-selective multipath Rayleigh fading channels is studied. The analytical bit error probabilities of the MIC-DECO and MIC-OPTM are derived and shown to be in a g...

Objective:  To investigate whether a low body mass index (BMI) has significant relationship with mandibular bone porosity progression by conducting inferior cortex (MIC) classification in elderly Japanese people.  Material and Methods: A total of 266 study subjects, aged 70 at baseline, were recruited for this study, conducted from 1998 to 2007. The subjects divided into two groups according ch...
