this work presents a numerical study to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of a 2-d rectangular composite porous radiant burner (cprb). in the construction of porous burner, the porous layer is considered to be of composite type consisting of upstream and downstream layers with equal thickness but with different physical and radiative properties. in the present work, a two dimensiona...

organochlorine pesticides are as environmental pollutants which have a high half-life and transmit from food chain to human and cause side effects such as mutations in different genes and finally cancer. in this research, after sampling and quantitative and qualitative of organochlorine residue, biodegradation of alpha, beta and gamma hexachlorobenzene (linden), ddt, aldrin, dieldrin, endosulfa...

quality and flesh colour characteristics of blood oranges following harvest is related to and dependent upon temperature and storage conditions. to investigate the effects of different temperatures (8, 15 and 22ºc) and different storage period (0, 25, 50 and 75 days) on total soluble solids, titrable acidity, ph, ascorbic acid, total phenolic contents, antioxidant capacity, anthocyanin level, a...

green tea extract has plenty of antioxidant. due to the toxicity of synthetic antioxidants, it is necessary that these antioxidants in products such as donuts be replaced with natural antioxidants. the purpose of this research is to reduce the usage of synthetic antioxidants as it is possible. so the extract was extracted and it was used as a natural antioxidant in the dough of donuts. due to t...

introduction: in continuation of recent development of possible c-x-c chemokine receptor type 4 (cxcr4) imaging agents, we report the development of a possible cxcr4 targeted therapy agent. methods: [153sm]labeled 1,1′-[1,4-phenylenebis(methylene)] bis-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclo -tetradecane ([153sm]-amd3100) was prepared using [153sm]smcl3 and amd-3100 for 24h at 50°c in acetate buffer.stability ...

reinforced concrete (rc) slabs exhibit complexities in their structural behavior under load due to the composite nature of the material and the multitude and variety of factors that affect such behavior. current methods for determining the load-deflection behavior of reinforced concrete slabs are limited in scope and are mostly dependable on the results of experimental tests. in this study, an ...
