frictional shear stress is usually determined by utilizing the coefficient of friction or the constant friction factor models. the present study deals with finite element analysis of double cup extrusion process to determine the relationship between constant friction factor (m) and coefficient of friction (µ), since the metal flow in this process is very sensitive to frictional conditions. ther...

assessing the quality of groundwater is important to ensure the sustainablesafe use of these resources. however, describing the overall water quality condition isdifficult due to the spatial variability of multiple contaminants and the wide range ofindicators (chemical, physical and biological) that could be measured. therefore, in thiscase study, some water quality parameters including na, mg,...

background: pleurisy is a common extra pulmonary complication of tuberculosis, but current methods for diagnosing it are fairly crude. here we product a meta-analysis for the available evidence on the ability of tumor necrosis factor-? (tnf-?) in pleural fluid to serve as a diagnostic marker of tuberculous pleurisy (tp). materials and methods: we searched the pubmed, embase, and google scholar ...

a study was conducted to determine suitable soil properties as soil quality indicators, using factor analysis in order to evaluate the effects of land use change on loessial hillslope soils of the shastkola district in golestan province, northern iran. to this end, forty surface soil (0-30 cm) samples were collected from four adjacent sites with the following land uses systems: (1) natural fore...

to identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the traits which could be used as the selection index for increasing of grain yield, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between norstar and zagros cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. the measured characters consisted of peduncle weight, ...

objective: the self-compassion scale (scs) which originally developed by neff (2003a) is based on the assumption that the self-compassion comprised by self-kindness/self-judgment, common humanity/perceived isolation, and mindfulness/over-identification. this research was aimed to confirm the six-factor structure of scs. methods: 265 university students entered the research to assess the psychom...
