This paper deals with the behavior of anti-plane shear crack in a piezoelectric layer bounded between two orthotropic half-planes within the framework of linear electroelasticity. The crack surfaces are assumed to be permeable or impermeable. The analysis is based on the stress fields caused by Volterra-type screw dislocation in the medium. Fourier transforms are used to reduce the dislocation ...

Materials and methods Ninety-day-old female Wistar rats were divided into three groups: exercised-control (EC; n=5), high intensity exercised-diabetic (HIED=high intensity training, 80% of the maximum speed in the stress test; n=4) and low intensity exercised-diabetic (LIED=low Intensity training, 40% of the maximum speed in the stress test; n=6). The diabetes was induced in the rats by adminis...

This study analyzes the thermal performance of solar thermal energy using double-pass absorber plate in Sanandaj, Iran. To this end, a mathematical model was encoded according to the energy and exergy balance equations and solved by MATLAB software. Given the environmental conditions and radiation intensity of a winter day in Sanandaj, the effects of external parameters such as radiation intens...

The purpose of the present study was to compare symptom load in youth groups treated with three Swedish Blueprint programmes - Functional Family Therapy (FFT), Multisystemic Therapy (MST) and Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC) - to see if symptom load matches the intensity of the treatment model as expected. These youth groups were also compared with in- and outpatients from child an...

background: the study evaluated qualitative pcr, primers 121-122 as a tool to follow up evolution parasite load of trypanosoma cruzi . methods: the study was conducted at the state university of maringa, in 2015. step 1, dilutions 1/10 were performed from t. cruzi -y strain to obtain preparations of 50,000-0.05 parasites/ml from which dna were extracted, quantified, and amplified. step 2, the e...
