conclusions pci was accompanied by some improvement in left atrial deformation indices as assessed by tissue doppler imaging. revascularization can, therefore, improve patient outcome. results regarding changes in left trial functional parameters after pci, those such as the strain of the septal wall and the anterior and inferior walls and the strain rate of the anterior and lateral walls signi...

advanced high strength steels (ahss) have recently attracted great attention because of their superior mechanical properties. a modern group of these steels, known as twinning induced plasticity (twip) steels, shows a unique combination of strength and ductility even at high rates of strain. in order to examine the functionality of such steels in dynamic loading conditions, their mechanical beh...

background recently, assessment of the atrial motion and deformation indices obtained via doppler myocardial imaging (dmi) has been proposed as a new method of exploring the atrial function. objective our aim was to assess the right atrial (ra) regional function using myocardial velocities, strain, and strain rate imaging (sri) and compare it with the function of the inter-atrial septum (ias) a...

fiber reinforced composites are widely used instead of traditional materials in various technological applications. therefore, by considering the extensive applications of these materials, a proper knowledge of their impact behavior (from low- to high-velocity) as well as their static behavior is necessary. in order to study the effects of strain rates on the behavior of these materials, specia...

conclusions our results demonstrated the ability of pw-tdi and s/sr modalities in detection of the early subclinical abnormalities in asymptomatic patients with significant chronic ar. results ar group had significantly increased lv end systolic and end diastolic volumes, interventricular septum and posterior wall thickness compared to controls. in ar, sm and em of septal wall, sm of lateral wa...

the static strain aging is a phenomenon that can change the mechanical properties of low carbon steels. thus, the static strain aging behavior of low carbon steel wires after drawing process is studied. to do so, the wires are austenitized at different temperatures and cooled in different rates. then the wires are drawn and aged at a specific temperature and time. before and after aging of each...
