Torsion of many symmetric structures, which were designed based on the seismic codes, is due to their asymmetricity induced during inelastic behavior. Although the structure was designed symmetrically assuming elastic based criteria, different factors such as material inconsistency in structure, construction details discrepancy and construction errors may result in asymmetric behavior in inelas...

in this article, we estimate the vertical price transmission through the iranian rice marketing chain by usingmonthly data from march 2000 to february, 2009 and error correction model (ecm).the causality testresults indicate that changes in the producer price clearly led changes in wholesale and retail prices. inproducer-retail and wholesale-retail models, price transmission is asymmetric but i...

in the present work, we have obtained the equation of state for neutron star matter considering the in uence of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin state. we have also investigated the structure of neutron stars. according to our results, the spin asymmetry stiens the equation of state and leads to high mass for the neutron star.

background and objectives: scapular stabilization and neuromuscular control provide an important parameter to characterize shoulder function during dynamic activities. many studies have confirmed the effect of the loading on scapular position and scapulohumeral rhythm. therefore, the evaluation of stabilizer muscles involvement in scapular asymmetry may assist in the development of clinical exa...

holding cash is a matter of managerial discretion. theaim of this paper is to contrast the effect of accruals quality on cashholding for a sample of 120 firms listed in the tehran stock exchangeduring 2001-2011.the results show that firms with good accruals quality hold lower cashlevels than firms with poor accruals quality. this result conform thefindings of teruel & solano (2009), which state...

introduction: analysis of smile is one of the esthetic evaluations in dentistry. in the present study, gla, lid, the long axis position and the oblique axial angle of each tooth were evaluated. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional analytical study, 80 subjects with properly-aligned teeth and healthy periodontium were selected. a digital camera was to take photos of lip areas in unifor...
