hydroxyapatite (ha) nano-rods with uniform morphology and controllable size have been successfully synthesized in the presence of cationic and non-ionic surfactants by a hydrothermal method. (nh4) 2hpo4 and ca(no 3)2.4h2o were used as the phosphorus and calcium sources, respectively. the composition of synthesized powders was characterized using x-ray diffraction, and fourier transform infrared...

in this research, a braiding-pultrusion production line is developed by modifying a conventional textile maypole braiding machine and adding it to a pultrusion line for production of braid-pultruded (bp) composite rods. in order to evaluate the mechanical properties of bp rods and study the effect of some braiding parameters, they were produced with different braid roving linear densities and b...

bismuth sulfide nano-rods and nano-flowers were synthesized via a hydrothermal reaction at a relatively low temperature. thioglycolic acid is used as sulfur source and capping agent simultaneously. bi2s3 nanostructures were then added to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (abs) copolymer. the thermal stability behavior of abs filled with bismuth sulfide nano-rods were investigated by thermogravime...

In this paper, the effect of ocean-land mixed propagation path on the lightning performance of grounding rods is investigated. This effect is focused on two problems. The first is extracting exact equivalent circuit of grounding rods in the presence of oceans. The equivalent circuit can be used in transient analysis of power systems in the neighboring oceans. In the second one, this effect on t...

In this study, effects of lacing rods location on natural frequencies of last stage of a Steam Turbine Blades (STBs) have been investigated. STBs are critical and important elements in a turbine as well as power plants. One of the most important parameters in turbine blades is lacing rods location. In this paper, first, a three dimensional (3D) scan was used to produce the geometrical model of ...

in this paper, the direct extrusion process of bimetallic rods in conical dies is analyzed by an improved upper bound method. the deformation zone is subdivided into six smaller zones and by considering a non-spherical entrance boundary to the deformation zone, a velocity field is presented which is different from velocity fields employed in previous studies. the total power consumption of the ...

Introduction Quality control is an important phenomenon in nuclear medicine imaging. A Jaszczak SPECT Phantom provides consistent performance information for any SPECT or PET system. This article describes the simulation of a Jaszczak phantom and creating an executable phantom file for comparing assessment of SPECT cameras using SIMIND Monte Carlo simulation program which is well-established fo...

in this paper, a new design of optical channel drop filter based on two- dimensional photonic crystal ring resonators with triangular lattice is proposed. the rods of this structure is silicon with the refractive index nsi=3.46 and the surrounding environment is air with the refractive index of nair=1.the widest photonic band gap obtains for the filling ratio of r/a = 0.2. the filter’s transmis...
