Despite the numerous studies on the effect of the magnetic field on plants, the exact mechanism of these effects has not yet been determined. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of magnetic field on growth and photosynthetic characteristics of two almond species (Amygdalus scoparia and A. eburnea). For this purpose, 21-day-old almond plants were affected by 10 mT static magnetic fie...

The microtubes are important structures in nano electromechanical system .in this study a nonlocal model is presented to investigate the static torsion behavior of microtubes made of bi-directional factionally graded material (BDFGM) subjected to a longitudinal magnetic field. Mechanical properties of BDFGM microtube varies in the radial and longitudinal direction according to an arbitrary func...

Electrochemical coating processes are significantly affected by applied magnetic fields due to the generation of electromagnetic forces. The present research work has been undertaken to study the effect of coating parameters such as current density and alumina concentration on the characteristics of Ni-Al2O3 composite coating under static magnetic field. Ni-Al2O3 composite coating was applied o...

[Purpose] The aim of the present study was to determine whether eye movement in conjunction with functional electrical stimulation (FES) could improve balance ability in stroke patients with neglect syndrome. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects consisted of 15 stroke patients with neglect syndrome. The intervention was eye movement in conjunction with FES. The program was conducted 5 times per ...

objectives: this study investigated the possible synergistic effect of simultaneous treatment of bone morphogenic protein (bmp)-4 as a chemical stimulator and static magnetic field (smf) as a physical stimulator on viability percent and proliferation rate in rat bone marrow stem cells. methods: passage 5 cells were trypsinized, and a cell suspension prepared after which the cells were counted ...

Introduction: The purpose of the current study was to predict the percentage of the sway index from the static balance point based on the anthropometric dimensions of construction workers. Material and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 114 construction workers. First, the construction workers were asked to complete the demographic questionnaire and the inclusion crite...

background to identify the clinical features in eyes with intraocular foreign bodies (iofbs) and evaluate the results of surgical management in these cases. material and methods in a descriptive retrospective study, the records of 32 eyes of 32 patients with iofbs were reviewed. all eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy between april 2001 and february 2012. the iofbs were removed either with int...
