The effects of microstructural variations with depth on Barkhausen effect (BE) signals in surface-modified ferrous materials have been studied through measurements and simulations based on a hysteretic-stochastic model. The BE signals measured from an unhardened sample show a peak near zero field. In contrast, the BE signals in surface-hardened samples with different case depths exhibit low-amp...

core-shell nanostructures are emerging as more important materials than alloy nanostructures and have much more interesting potential applications in various fields. in this work, we demonstrated the fast and facile synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles consisting of pt thin layer as the shell and ni nanoparticles as the cores. the described method herein is suitable for large-scale and low-cos...

Background & Aims: Balance is one of the most essential elements of physical activities and an important factor in sport skills. Vision plays a paramount role in the processing and integrating other sensory inputs for controlling balance and selecting equilibrium strategy. The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of an eight-week core stability training program on balance in blind...

earth dam is a structure as homogeneous or non-homogeneous forms for raising water level or water supply. earth dam consist of different parts that one of the main parts is clay core. choosing an optimal non permeable core which causes reduction of seepage through dam body and also being stable is necessary. the objective of this research is to optimize the geometry of earth dam clay core such ...

CONTEXT Enhancing core stability through exercise is common to musculoskeletal injury prevention programs. Definitive evidence demonstrating an association between core instability and injury is lacking; however, multifaceted prevention programs including core stabilization exercises appear to be effective at reducing lower extremity injury rates. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION PUBMED WAS SEARCHED FOR ...

objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of storage time and conditions on dimensional stability of acrylic patterns. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, a cylindrical shaped metallic post-core was fabricated. impressions were made from this metallic model and 30 samples were prepared with duralay acrylic resin. the specimens were divided into three...

background: excessive lumbar vertebrae translation and rotation in sagittal plane has been attributed as an associated factor of lumbar segmental instability (lsi) and low back pain (lbp). reduction of these abnormalities improves back pain. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of core stability exercise on the translation and rotation of lumbar vertebrae in sagittal plane in pat...
