Objective - The aim of this study was to measure the ratio of bone cortex (C) to bone diameter (D), (C/D) in radius/tibia, metacarpus /metatarsus and proximal phalanges in fore and hindlimbs to be used as a diagnostic guide in metabolic and nutritional diseases in Minature Donkey. Design- Experimental study Animals- Eight adult Minature donkeys. Procedures- Lateromedial, dorsopalmar and dors...

This works presents a second law analysis on heat exchanger tube configurated as circular smoot (CST), elliptical smooth (EST) and twisted (ETT) with different aspect ratios pitch lengths. The ETTs were ratio (AR) of 1.5 2.0 twist length (PL) 50, 100 200 mm. hydraulic diameter was kept constant for all cases, since the results are influenced by change in diameter. CFD analyzes run to perform co...

For measurement of existing thread parameters using profile scanning, system error increases as pitch diameter, difference between the calibrating thread and measuring thread increases with the single gauge calibration method. There are several alignment deviations affecting the measurement of pitch diameter. To reduce the system error, a compensation method using two standard thread gauges to ...

Helical coil heat exchangers are widely used in industrial applications ranging fromcryogenic processes, air-conditioning, and nuclear reactors to waste heat recovery due totheir compact size and high heat transfer coefficient. In this kind of heat exchangers, flowand heat transfer are complicated. This paper reports a numerical investigation of theinfluence of different parameters such as coil...

Bacteria have remarkably robust cell shape control mechanisms. For example, cell diameter only varies by a few percent across a population. MreB is necessary for establishment and maintenance of rod shape although the mechanism of shape control remains unknown. We perturbed MreB in two complimentary ways to produce steady-state cell diameters over a wide range, from 790±30 nm to 1700±20 nm. To ...

nowadays the use of the switched reluctance motors (srms) has been considerably increased in various home and industrial applications. despite of many advantages of this type of motors, such as simple structure, low cost, and high reliability, the main disadvantage of them is the generation of high torque pulsation. this paper presents a novel method to optimize a typical srm such that the torq...

Dark-field microscopy with a high-powered light source revealed that the outer doublet microtubules (DMTs) from sea urchin (Pseudocentrotus depressus and Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus) sperm flagella assume helically coiled configurations (Miki-Noumura, T., and R. Kamiya. 1976. Exp. Cell Res. 97: 451.). We report here that the DMTs change shape when the pH or Ca-ion concentration is changed. The D...
