Double-diffusive steady convection in a partially porous cavity with partially permeable walls and under the combined buoyancy effects of thermal and mass diffusion was analysed numerically using finite volume method. The top wall is well insulated and impermeable while the bottom surface is partially well insulated and impermeable and partially submitted to constant temperature T1 and concentr...

The behaviour of squat shape partially grouted concrete masonry shear walls with fixed-end boundary conditions subjected to constant average axial stress and cyclic lateral loading was investigated. Two replicas were tested each combination horizontal reinforcement ratio (0.12%, 0.06%, 0.03%) four end anchorage (straight, 90°, 180°, studs). the compared in terms strength, ductility, stiffness, ...

provisional cements are commonly used to facilitate retrievability of cement-retained fixed implant restorations; but compromised abutment preparation may affect the retention of implant-retained crowns.the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of abutment design and type of luting agent on the retentive strength of cement-retained implant restorations.two prefabricated abutments ...

We consider domain walls obtained by embedding the 1+1-dimensional φ-kink in higher dimensions. We show that a suitably adapted dimensional regularization method avoids the intricacies found in other regularization schemes in both supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric theories. This method allows us to calculate the one-loop quantum mass of kinks and surface tensions of kink domain walls in a v...

Experiments giving evidence of active Na and Cl ion fluxes across large canine blood vessel walls (aorta, vena cava) in vitro have been presented. The information has been obtained using ion tracer techniques after Ussing and with diffusion cells of the Hogben type. The available data suggest that the membranes are satisfactorily oxygenated by the bathing solutions saturated with oxygen at atmo...

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 in bo...
