To evaluate the effect of acupuncture on the severity of withdrawal reaction during rapid opiate detoxification (ROD), forty adult male subjects addicted to opioids and scheduled for ROD by naloxone were randomly divided into acupuncture and control groups. In the acupuncture group during three consecutive days immediately before induction of ROD, body acupuncture was performed while in the con...

in iran, onion plants are currently broadcast over the majority of onion fields and weeding and harvesting are done manually by seasonal workers. at harvest time, 40 worker-days are required to onion dig just one hectare. this cost could be saved if the operation could be carried out by machine. rear-mounted diggers can only be implemented if 40 cm spacing between rows is allowed for each tract...

the basic structure of a reactor physics laboratory environment simulation software, developed using object modeling technique (omt), and based on the reactor point kinetic equation, is presented. also, various capabilities of the simulator in teaching the fundamental concepts of reactor physics are discussed. in this virtual laboratory, student can perform seven different experiments, namely, ...

Process tolerancing based on the process capability studies is the optimistic and pragmatic approach of determining the manufacturing process tolerances. On adopting the define–measure–analyze–improve–control approach, the process potential capability index (C p) and the process performance capability index (C pk) values of identified process characteristics of connecting rod ...

In the current study, numerical analysis of passive control flow with a rod for Ahmed body is performed at different slant angles and velocities placed locations on surface. The aim study to improve aerodynamic performance by preventing separation surface using rod. This method uses that has not been applied simplified ground vehicles before. Therefore, it can be said this new example in point ...
