many studies on precipitation trend have been performed in recent years (e.g., brunetti et al., 2006; rodrigo et al., 2007; turkesh, 1996), but spatial analysis of the sign of trends is rarely carried out (suppiah and hennessy, 1998; de luis et al., 2000). in the present paper we analyze the observational precipitation data from some oldest meteorological stations to investigate the possible sy...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of proximal contour of class II composite restorations placed with straight or contoured matrix band using composite resins with different modulus of elasticity on stress distribution by finite element method. Methods: In order to evaluate the stress distribution of class II composite restorations using finite element method, upper ...

statement of problem: currently there are three recognized theories about the diameter of prepared dowel space in endodontically treated teeth. diameter of the dowel is commonly contributed to the root fracture. purpose: this study used a 3 dimensional (3d) finite element method to predict stress distribution in endodontically treated central maxillary tooth with cast post and core with various...

An adhesive is a material used for holding two surfaces together. An adhesive must wet the surfaces, hold fast to the surfaces, develop strength after it has been applied, and remain Stable. In this work we work on aerospace application, for that application we used material as SS304 and used Adhesive as EA-E30HV.We used specimen size as 130*30*1.95mm. We used different overlap length and overl...

Connecting rod is the intermediate link between the piston and the crank. And is responsible to transmit the push and pull from the piston pin to crank pin, thus converting the reciprocating motion of the piston to rotary motion of the crank. Generally connecting rods are manufactured using carbon steel and in recent days aluminium alloys are finding its application in connecting rod. In this w...

Dr. Von Greyerz has used his imagination and gift for detail to consider impact of atomic war on a country such as his own (Sweden). His description individual reactions under the threat of remote-misses and near-misses is also detail real and thoughtful. His aim is to encourage more positive thought on the probl^ since in so doing he feels we should be more likely to prevent fear and calarfl1^...

purpose: to compare the effect of different deviation measurement techniques and different lens powers on gradient accommodative convergence to accommodation (ac/a) ratio. methods: we randomly selected 78 eligible students of different majors from zahedan university of medical sciences. following retinoscopy for refractive errors, alternate prism cover test, von graefe and maddox rod without ad...

Pyroplastic deformation is a distortion of the ceramic shape during the sintering process. It occurs because the flow of the vitreous phase at high temperature and the applied stress due to the weight of the product during sintering process. The aim of this paper deals with describing a numerical-experimental method to evaluate the pyroplastic deformation, to predict the anisotropic shrinkage a...
