In this study, the effect of some processing parameters on bulk density, particle density, particle size and some of powder reconstruction properties such as dispersibility, Wettability and water solubility index of spray dried barberry (Berberis vulgaris) juice powders were investigated. A Pilot Spray Dryer (Two- Flow nozzle, counter- current, one cyclone) was employed for the spray d...

Natural convection heat transfer was investigated experimentally in a concentric-cylinders annulus. To enhance the rate of heat transfer, pin fins were installed on the surface of the inner cylinder. Two fin arrangements were employed, namely, staggered and in-line arrangements. The length of the fins varied from 2 to 8 cm and the Rayleigh number Ra changed in the range from 5 x 105  to 5 x 106...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is one of the autoimmune diseases with an unknown cause. the aim of this study was to explore the link between air quality and ms relapses in patients who suffer from ms.this time-series study was conducted on patients registered at the iranian multiple sclerosis society in 2011-2012. they were randomly selected from patients lived in tehran in the last five years, and h...

As operation frequencies and performance requirements of wireless devices increase, the resultant demands on the performance of passive components also increase. Miniaturization of inductive components for high frequency has been a key research area to address this issue; however, in general, miniaturized integrated inductors can suffer from low Q factors and/or self-resonant frequencies when c...

Divers and hyperbaric chamber attendants breathe hyperbaric air routinely. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) is used therapeutically frequently. Although much is understood about the hemodynamic physiology and gas exchange effects during hyperbaric air and HBO(2) exposure, arterial and pulmonary arterial (PA) catheter data, including blood gas values during hyperbaric air and HBO(2) exposure of normal...

A compact and transportable three channel quantum cascade laser system (TRIPLE Q) based on mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy has been developed for time-resolved plasma diagnostics. The TRIPLE Q spectrometer encompasses three independently controlled quantum cascade lasers (QCLs), which can be used for chemical sensing, particularly for gas phase analysis of plasmas. All three QCLs are opera...

In this paper, deep sub-micron CMOS process compatible high Q on chip spiral inductors with air gap structure were designed and fabricated. In the design the electromagnetic solver, SONNET, and the finite element program, ANSYS, were used for electrical-characteristics and maximum mechanical strength, respectively. The copper wires were capped with electroless Ni plating to prevent the copper f...
