Aluminum alloy sheets have been widely used to build the thin-walled structures by mechanical clinching technology in recent years. However, there is an exterior protrusion located on the lower sheet and a pit on the upper sheet, which may restrict the application of the clinching technology in visible areas. In the present study, an improved clinched joint used to join aluminum alloy sheets wa...

This paper presents a new whole-body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) estimation method based on the cylindrical fields scanning technique. The aim of this study is to achieve experimentally an estimation of whole-body averaged SAR in human models due to plane wave exposure using the radiation-field scanning technique. In this paper, the validity of the proposed methods is investigated u...

There are many similarities between experimental economics and psychological research, both substantive and methodological. However, there are important differences as well. This article discusses five methodological areas where experimental economists and experimental psychologists differ: incentives, context, subject pools, deception, experimental details and data analysis. Within each topic ...

results our data showed that the eae induction in group one was significantly more successful than group two (with the mean score > 3). conclusions although the eae is still a scientific method to induce ms in rodents, it requires more attention to environmental factors that might influence the result. the mechanisms of these factors are unknown, but it seems that the role of housing environmen...

α-Bi2O3 was synthesized via a hydrothermal method at 180 °C for 12 h in 1 (S1) and 2 (S2) M KOH aqueous solutions, using Bi(NO3)3•5H2O as raw material. The synthesized material was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) technique. The XRPD results indicated that by using 1M KOH aqueous solution, α-Bi2O3 was obtained with small fractions of β-Bi2O3, while 2M KOH solution resulted in pu...
