Background: The increase of stress following the technological improvements appears to be an important factor that causes organs disorders like genital system. Therefore the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of chronic multiple sequential stress on rat prostate. Materials and Methods: 18 Wistar rats were divided randomly into two equal groups. In animals under stress, the m...

in this research, modification on the ultrafiltration (uf) membrane by synthesis of a thin layer of polyamide selective layer was designed for high performances of forward osmosis (fo) water treatment. two monomers, m-phenylenediamine (mpd) and trimesoyl chloride (tmc) with different concentrations of mpd (2.0% w/v and 1.0% w/v) were reacted with tmc (0.15% w/v) for interfacial polymerization (...

purpose: to determine agreement between peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) thickness measurements by two different spectral domain optical coherence tomography (sd-oct) machines. methods: both eyes of 89 subjects were evaluated using cirrus oct (carl zeiss meditec, inc. dublin, ca, usa) and topcon oct (3d oct 1000, topcon corporation, tokyo, japan). one eye was randomly selected in ...

Based on a simple model established in the previous paper for water dissociation process on a bipolar membrane, this work is concentrated on analyzing the membrane asymmetry on the water dissociation process. Special attention is paid to thickness ratio, fixed gronp con~n~on ratio and the water di~ivi~ ratio of anion layer to cation layer on water concen~tion, proton or hydroxyl ions concentrat...

Abstract Active layer thickness (ALT) is a critical metric for monitoring permafrost. How soil moisture influences ALT depends on two competing hypotheses: (a) increased increases the latent heat of fusion thaw, resulting in shallower active layers, and (b) thermal conductivity, deeper layers. To investigate their relative influence thaw depth, we analyzed Field Measurements Soil Moisture Layer...

in the present paper, the flow and heat transfer of two types of nanofluids, namely, silver-water and silicon dioxide-water, were theoretically analyzed over an isothermal continues stretching sheet. to this purpose, the governing partial differential equations were converted to a set of nonlinear differential equations using similarity transforms and were then analytically solved. it was found...

In this paper, Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) method was simulated by analytical solution. Then the effect of parameters like fiber density, distribution of layer thickness, perform layer thickness, resin viscosity was investigated theoretically. Obtained results show that by selecting optimum distribution layer thickness, increasing fiber volume fraction, reducing viscosity of ...

In this paper, Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) has been applied to investigate the effect of magnetic field on Cu-water nanofluid flow in non-parallel walls. The validity of HPM solutions were verified by comparing with numerical results obtained using a fourth order Runge–Kutta method. Effects of active parameters on flow have been presented graphically. The results show that velocity i...

This study is focused on fabrication and characterization of mixed matrix poly ether sulfone based nanofiltration membrane by phase inversion method. The effect of different amounts of Ilmenite (FeTiO3) particles as inorganic filler additive in the casting solution on physic-chemical characteristics of membranes was studied. Scanning electron microscopy, surface analysis, water content, contact...
