BACKGROUND Davallia formosana Hayata is a herb that has been used in Chinese medicine to treat bone diseases, including arthritis, bone fractures and osteoporosis. The rhizome of D. formosana H. has been found to be rich in (-)-Epicatechin 3-O-β-D-allopyranoside (ECAP), which is considered to be the active component of the plant in terms of its antiosteoporotic effect. This study investigated t...

The electrically-evoked compound action potential (ECAP) is the synchronous whole auditory nerve activity in response to an electrical stimulus, and can be recorded in situ on cochlear implant (CI) electrodes. A novel procedure (ECAP-ICA) to isolate the ECAP from the stimulation artifact, based on independent component analysis (ICA), is described here. ECAPs with artifact (raw-ECAPs) were sequ...

به دلیل عدم قطعیت‌های شناختی، تصادفی و محدودیت‌های انعطاف پذیر، در این مطالعه مدل جدیدی از برنامه‌ریزی محدودیت شانس انعطاف‌پذیر، امکانی، استوار مختلط بر مبنای تئوری اعتبار برای طراحی شبکه زنجیره تامین حلقه بسته توسعه داده شد. نگرش‌های متفاوت تصمیم‌گیرندگان با اندازه‌گیری انعطاف‌پذیرتر پارامترهای خوش‌بینانه بدبینانه قالب معیار پاسخ حداقل سطح رضایت انعطاف‌پذیر حل بهینه گردید. پیشنهادی، قادر کاهش ...

An I-phase containing Mg-8Sn-6Zn-2Al (wt %; TZA862) alloy was fabricated and subjected to different number of passes of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) processing at 300 °C. The results showed that the alloys exhibited a bimodal microstructure, which consisted of fine dynamically recrystallized (DRX) grains and coarse non-DRX grains. When increasing the number of ECAP passes from 2 to 6, ...

In this work, the microstructural evolutions and mechanical properties of an as-cast Mg-10Gd-4Y-1.5Zn-0.5Zr (wt %) alloy during successive multi-pass equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) were systematically investigated by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and compression test. The obtained results show that the microstructure of as-cast allo...

در پژوهش حاضر کاربرد روش‌های مطرح یکی از انواع راهبردهای پژوهش، یعنی نظریۀ زمینه‌ای، شناخت موضوع، حیطۀ آموزش معماری بررسی می‌شود. سؤال این است که «آیا زمینه‌ای می‌تواند جهت ارتقای فهم دانشجویان موضوع طراحی کارگاه‌های کارآمد باشد؟». هدف آن با استفاده روش‌ها، توانایی عبور ذهنیت‌های قبلی‌شان یک افزایش یابد و بتوانند به جامع‌تری برسند. قالب تحلیل تمرین بر مبنای مذکور محور مصداقی فضای ایوان پیگیری خ...

The effect of grain refinement of commercial purity titanium by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on its mechanical performance and bone tissue regeneration is reported. In vivo studies conducted on New Zealand white rabbits did not show an enhancement of biocompatibility of ECAP-modified titanium found earlier by in vitro testing. However, the observed combination of outstanding mechanical...

One hundred and forty-seven adult recipients of the Nucleus 24 cochlear implant system, from 13 different European countries, were tested using neural response telemetry to measure the electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP), according to a standardised postoperative measurement procedure. Recordings were obtained in 96% of these subjects with this standardised procedure. The group...
