We present an anisotropic adaptive discretization method and demonstrate how computational efficiency can be increased when applying it to the simulation of cardiovascular flow. We further propose a new adaptive approach which controls the mesh adaptation procedure to maintain structured and graded elements near the wall resulting in a more accurate wall shear stress computation. To perform mes...

aims: it is very important to detect the coagulase-negative staphylococci, which produce the hospital infections. being one of the most expensive and time-consuming stages before the polymerase chain reaction (pcr), dna extraction is one of the primary stages of pcr. then, it should be noticed that the elimination of the stage might save time and costs. the aim of this study was to compare two ...

background: the aim of this study is to evaluate the long and short ten postoperative results after the notaras procedure as a surgical treatment of rectal prolapse in adults. methods: thirty-one patients suffering from rectal prolapse who were operated with notaras posterior mesh rectopexy in shohada-e-tajrish hospital between 1991- 2000 were followed up for results and complications and the r...

Let $G$ be a monoid with identity $e$. In this paper, first we introduce the notions of $G$-graded hyperrings, graded hyperideals and graded hyperfields in the sense of Krasner hyperring $R$. Also, we define the notion of a greded $R$-hypermodules and some examples are presented. Then we investigate graded maximal, graded prime and graded primary hyperideals of a graded hyperring $R$. Finally, ...

We study the approximation properties of some general finiteelement spaces constructed using improved graded meshes. In our results, either the approximating function or the function to be approximated (or both) are in a weighted Sobolev space. The finite-element spaces that we define are obtained from conformally invariant families of finite elements (no affine invariance is used), stressing t...

this paper introduces a new method for accelerating current sluggish fem and improving memory demand in fem problems with high node resolution or bulky structures. like most of the numerical methods, fem results to a matrix equation which normally has huge dimension. breaking the main matrix equation into several smaller size matrices, the solving procedure can be accelerated. for implementing ...

in this study gill-net selectivity for alburnus chalcoides inhabiting the almus dam lake was estimated. experimental gill-net fishing was conducted using gill-net with 15 mm and 20 mm mesh-size, during october 2002 and september 2003. a total of 254 and 198 specimens of a. chalcoides were caught by gill-net with 15 mm and 198 with the 20 mm mesh-size, respectively. the total length of the fish ...

it is difficult to develop an algorithm which is able to generate the appropriate mesh around the interfaces in bimaterials. in this study, a corresponding algorithm is proposed for this class of unified structures made from different materials with arbitrary shapes. the non-uniform mesh is generated adaptively based on advancing front technique available in abaqus software. implementing severa...

purpose: to report the results of a wrapping technique for hydroxyapatite orbital implants by using mersilen mesh. methods: this study is prospective interventional case series conducted on records of 55 consecutive patients who received a mersilen mesh-wrapped ha orbital implant after enucleation or as a secondary procedure. we recorded results and potiential problem before and after pegging d...
