in the present work, multidimensional modeling of open-cycle process of om355 engine was developed. calculations for computational mesh were carried out. the results of the model were validated by experimentally measured in-cylinder pressure and the good agreement between calculations and measurements approved the trustworthy of numerical code. results included pressure, temperature, emission a...

1. introduction in recent years, regarding climate changes, the analysis of natural variability of climate at different time scales has attracted a lot of attention. while, the data series with short statistical period just shows a likelihood estimation of a few decades of climate variability, the data series with long period shows the fluctuations of several decades with statistical importance...

In this paper, 20 solar-activity phenomena are collected to investigate solar activity in solar cycle 21. The results obtained show that we can hardly say that either the south dominance of solar activity or the north dominance exists for solar cycle 21. It is also inferred in this paper that solar activity in solar cycle 21 has a northern bias at first, then as the cycle progresses, southern p...

Background: Polarized cells are key to the process of differentiation. Xenopus oocyte is a polarized cell that has complete blue-print to differentiate 3 germ layers following fertilization, as key determinant molecules (Proteins and RNAs) are asymmetrically localized. The objective of this work was to localize Na+, K+-ATPase activity along animal-vegetal axis of polarized Xenopus oocyte and fo...

this study mainly focuses on enhancing the overall efficiency of gas transmission networks. the authors developed a model with detailed characteristics of compressor and pressure reduction stations. following this, they suggested three different systems with gas turbine including: organic rankine cycle (orc), air bottoming cycle (abc), and abc along with steam injection (si-abc). in addition, u...

Acetyl coenzyme A is an important molecule in metabolism playing role in many biochemical reactions.  Its main function is to convey the carbon atoms within the acetyl group to the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to be oxidized for energy production. In order to find out if this chemical compound could affect physiological and morphological characteristics of rosemary plant, the present study w...

cytokines influence cell cycle events, which in some but not all instances can be associated with melanoma progression. analysis of the g0/g 1 and s phase fractions of the cell cycle was used to assay the proliferative or inhibitory activity of cytokines against ten human melanoma cell lines, including pairs of cell lines derived from primary and metastatic tissue of individual patients. cytoki...

the spotted toad-headed agama, phrynocephalus maculatus, is a member of the agamidae family distributed in the central and south-eastern deserts of iran. iranian specimens are rare in collections. in this research, the female reproductive cycle of this species was studied from april 5 to august 5, 2013. totally, 15 adult females were collected by hand at midday from southern parts of damghan co...

The PI3K/AKT signaling pathway contributes to cell cycle progression of cytokine-dependent hematopoietic cells under normal conditions, and it is absolutely required to override DNA damage-induced cell cycle arrest checkpoints in these cells. Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT activity also correlates with Cdk2 activity in hematopoietic cells, suggesting that Cdk2 activation may be a rele...
