Continental break-up is an ingredient of plate tectonics and the Wilson cycle. During evolution Tethyan Realm since Paleozoic, a series ribbon-like (micro-)continents are split from Gondwana drifted northwards to Eurasian continent. The initial opening Neo-Tethys Ocean follows typical continental marginal Cimmeria Gondwana, which generally considered be driven by subduction Paleo-Tethyan plate....

The present study deals with the analysis of unsteady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an incompressible micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet when the sheet is stretched in its own plane. The velocity and temperature are assumed to vary linearly with the distance along the sheet. Two equal and opposite forces are impulsively applied along the x-axis so that the sheet is stretched, k...

In this paper, the flexural response of functionally graded plates with porosities is investigated using a novel higher order shear deformation theory, which considers the influence of thickness stretching. This theory fulfills the nullity conditions at the top and bottom of the plate for the transverse shear stresses, thus avoids the need of a shear correction factor. The effective material pr...

Strain gauge type pressure sensors are widely used in different branches of industry to measure from very low high (1400 Mpa) values. This article investigates a strain sensor that uses silicon oil within its housing transmit working the external environment sensing plate. An important failure mode arises loss/leakage oil, whereby portion internal volume is replaced by gas, usually air. Coupled...

stretching is an ancient method of treating soft tissue structures amongst the historical cultures. this method, in addition to other manual techniques such as, massage and manipulation has been taught in ancient medicine. nowadays, a wide range of studies have been performed to reveal the effects of this manual method on different muscle groups in patients, as well as healthy athlete subjects....

The stratigraphies of foreland basins have been related to orogeny, where continent-continent collision causes the construction of topography and the downwarping of the foreland plate. These mechanisms have been inferred for the Molasse basin, stretching along the northern margin of the European Alps. Continuous flexural bending of the subducting European lithosphere as a consequence of topogra...

We investigate the transient viscoelastic response of weakly strain-hardening fluids to imposed elongational deformation in filament stretching devices. We combine timedependent finite-element simulations with quantitative experimental measurements on a rheologically well-characterized test fluid to investigate how well the device reproduces the ideal transient uniaxial extensional viscosity pr...

Original scientific paper The present work is concerned with the steady incompressible flow through a parallel plate channel with stretching walls under an externally applied magnetic field. The governing continuity and Navier-Stokes equations are reduced to a fourth order nonlinear differential equation by using vorticity definition and similarity solution transformation. The obtained equation...

The present study was carried out to investigate the analgesic activity of Etoricoxib (10 mg) for individual drug therapy and etoricoxib (5 mg) for combination therapy with diclofinac potassium (10 mg) using Acetic acid induce writhing, Hot plate and Tail immersion methods. The test and standard drugs significantly (p<0.001) reduced the number of abdominal constriction and stretching of hind li...
