The Middle Persian (MP) verb gumēxtan , gumēz- [gwmyhtn', gymyc-], despite its Indo-Iranian and Indo-European origins, does not offer attestations in Avestan Old Persian. This is a very peculiar fact, because particular nominal derivative of this verbal stem, gumēzišn [gwmyck'], became one the most sensible technical terms adopted framework Mazdean cosmology theology. We can briefly recall that...

We study experimentally the impact of liquid drops against thin plates pierced with small holes. When the drop is larger than the hole, different situations can occur: (i) at a small velocity, the drop is entirely captured by the plate; (ii) above a threshold speed, some liquid is ejected below the surface. We characterize this critical speed and these two different situations, focusing on the ...

In this article, a 3D finite element simulation of a material accumulation process based on rod end and blank end melting is discussed. This process represents the first step of a two-level cold forming process in microrange and can be modeled mathematically by coupling the Stefan problem with the Navier-Stokes equations including a free capillary surface. Numerical results for melting the tip ...

The most enigmatic problems with the nearly 200 salt domes pierced in the Persian Gulf and in the Zagros Mountain Ranges (ZMR) in southern Iran, a unique morphology in the world, have been the matter of this study, which is based on a combination of field work, enhancement of satellite and aerial photographs etc. In the ZMR, structural anomalies are frequently associated with similar facies dis...

We study a functional field theory of membranes coupled to a rank–three tensor gauge potential. We show that gauge field radiative corrections lead to membrane condensation which turns the gauge field into a massive spin–0 field. This is the Coleman–Weinberg mechanism for membranes. An analogy is also drawn with a type–II superconductor. The ground state of the system consists of a two–phase me...

A 45-year-old woman with dilated cardiomyopathy was admitted for the upgrade of a previously implanted pacemaker. Echocardiography showed intraventricular dyssynchrony and a low ejection fraction (0.35). Treatment with a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) was selected and the device was implanted. CRT-D interrogation revealed proper function. Following procedure termination...

Historically, wearing adornments on pierced body parts has been associated with many cultures as manifestations of religious or cultural identities. Currently, its use has a broad acceptance among young people. The most common sites for piercings are the tongue and lower lip in the oral cavity. Several complications may be associated with this practice with the most frequently observed being ha...

An exceptional find of a so-called Sarmatian coin imitation in the form lead amulet came to light at Martfű. The obverse is decorated with bust facing left, reverse usual crescent and star motif. piece cast loop an elaborate frame decoration segmented rims resembling Roman disc fibulae that were popular Sarmatians. These types coins have so far been known only as pierced or looped copper alloy ...

Presented study analyses different jet parameters that appear during and after bubble collapse, namely center displacement, length of a jet-pierced size the rebounded their relation to anisotropy parameter in vicinity liquid–liquid interface. In experiments cavitation was produced with focused pulsed laser its dynamics recorded by high-speed camera. Two types liquid-liquid interfaces consisting...
