objective: various approaches have been offered for resolution of pain resulting from spinal cord injuries. one approach is the use of herbal and natural products. in the present research, as a preliminary study, we investigate the effect of crocin on chronic pain induced by contusion in the rat spinal cord (sci). methods: we randomly divided female wistar rats into five groups. groups i and ii...

thermal recovery involves well-known processes such as steam injection (cyclic steam stimulation, steam drive, and steam-assisted gravity drainage), in situ combustion, and a more recent technique that consists of heating the reservoir with electrical energy. when high frequency is used for heating, it is called electromagnetic (em) heating. the applications of em heating for heavy-oil reservoi...

conceptual design of a waste heat recovery cycle is carried out in attempt to enhance the thermal efficiency of a steam power plant. in the recovery system, super-critical an co2 is employed as the working fluid operating in a brayton cycle. low grade heat rejected by the flue gases through the stack is used as the primary heat source, while a secondary heat exchanger utilizes the hot gases lea...

Temperature measurement and control are two difficult problems in the rapid thermal processing (RTP) system. For many applications such as rapid thermal processing chemical vapor deposition (RTCVD) [1] and rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) [2], large changes in wafer emissivity can occur during film growing, leading to erroneous temperature measurements with a single wavelength pyrometer. The error...

In this paper, the effect of thermomechanical loading on the behavior of deflection-based harvested energies from a shape memory polymer system is experimentally investigated. Samples are created with honeycomb cells from poly-lactic acid using additive manufacturing techniques. The shape memory effect in shape recovery and force recovery paths are studied under thermomechanical tests in bendin...

In this study, the performance of an adsorbent coated finned tube exchanger for carbon capture was investigated numerically. The results showed that this structure has a great potential for being applied as a medium for CO2 capture by rapid indirect thermal swing adsorption. By using this structure, the recovery of 96%, and purity of 98% were achieved with a simple cycle consisting of two steps...
