in this paper, simulation and analysis of thin steel cylindrical shells with elliptical cutouts under oblique loading were studied using finite element method. first, the numerical results were validated by the results of experimental test performed by an instron 8802 servo hydraulic machine. also, the effect of cutout angle (θ), cutout size, cutout position (l0/l) and cutout aspect ratios (b/a...

the aim of this research was to investigate performance of two combined plows compared to conventional plow. the experiments were conducted in a loamy soil texture with moisture content of 16-18% in karaj region of iran. combination of moldboard+chisel plow and disk plow+chisel plow were compared with conventional moldboard plow as three treatments. data was statistically analyzed using rcbd in...

in this paper, a multi-objective method is used to optimize a heat recovery steam generator (hrsg). two objective functions have been used in the optimization, which are irreversibility and hrsg equivalent volume. the former expresses the exergetic efficiency and the latter demonstrates the cost of the hrsg. decision variables are geometric and operational parameters of the hrsg. the results of...

scid disorder is major failure of the immune system, usually genetic. the aim of this study was on mutations detection of rag1, rag2, and il7rg genes in scid cases. mutation detection was performed by pcr sequencing. our results  indicated  that 13  mutations  were found  through  cases which  include 4 mutations in il7r gene (t661i, i138v, t56a, c57w), 7 mutations in rag1 (w896x, w204r, m324v,...

Children presenting with disseminated viral infections should be carefully investigated because they almost invariably have an underlying immunodeficiency. A child is reported who had disseminated cytomegalovirus and a novel form of severe combined immunodeficiency with abnormal expression of the common leucocyte antigen, CD45.

In this report, we have analyzed the human T cell repertoire derived in vivo from a single T cell precursor. A unique case of X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency in which a reverse mutation occurred in an early T cell precursor was analyzed to this end. It was determined that at least 1,000 T cell clones with unique T cell receptor-beta sequences were generated from this precursor. This d...
