three hundred and seventy seven patients with different degrees of heat stroke were treated by the haji medical team of the islamic republic of iran in 1371 (1992). studies were carried out on sex of the patients, time and intensity of occurance and the vital signs after a medical examination. the most important method of treatment employed for intense heat stroke was iced bath. this procedure ...

the present study was carried out to investigate the replacement of soybean meal by different levels of canola meal (either with or without canola meal undergoing heat processing). two hundred forty commercial layer hens (lsl strain) at 54th week of age, selected based on the same egg production percentage and body weight. the experimental design was a crd, in a factorial arrangement of 4 repli...

Achieving the mechanical properties of steels after various manufacturing and heat treatment processes is significant and essential. In production lines, after producing the specific and standard samples, mechanical properties have been measured by destructive processes which cause waste of cost and time. In addition, destructive techniques cannot detect the miniscule changes made in mechanical...

The development of molecular tools allowed light to be shed on several widespread genetic mechanisms aiming at limiting the effect of molecular damage on bacterial survival. For some bacterial taxa, there are limited tools in the genetic toolbox, which restricts the possibilities to investigate the molecular basis of their stress response. In that case, an alternative strategy is to study genet...

The object of the present paper is to study temperature distribution and thermal stresses of a functionally graded thick hollow cylinder with temperature dependent material properties. All the material properties except Poisson’s ratio are assumed to be dependent on temperature. The nonlinear heat conduction with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity is reduced t...

In this paper the effect of site conditions, which are Altitude, Temperature and Relative Humidity and also Heat Dissipation Capacity are investigated on the optimized design of natural draft dry cooling towers with specific kind of heat exchangers, known as Forgo T60 type. A genetic algorithm program has been developed for optimized design of these cooling towers. Objective function includes b...
