the effect of welding residual stresses that was created in thin infill plate of steel plate shear wall system during constructional processes was studied in this research. residual stresses in a welded structure is the result of the non-uniform expansion and contraction and plastic deformation of the weld and surrounding base metal due to heating and cooling cycle, during welding process, this...

the aim of the present study was the estimation of (co) variance components and genetic parameters for body weight of moghani sheep, using random regression models based on b-splines functions. the data set included 9165 body weight records from 60 to 360 days of age from 2811 moghani sheep, collected between 1994 to 2013 from jafar-abad animal research and breeding institute, ardabil province,...

The objective of this study was to estimate variance components and genetic parameters for growth curve parameters in Shall sheep. Studied traits were parameters of Brody growth model which included A (asymptotic mature weight), B (initial animal weight) and K (maturation rate). The data set and pedigree information used in this study were obtained from the Animal Breeding Center of Iran and co...

welding is one of the most important assembling methods which are widely applied in different applications. in service conditions, some of the weld joints which meet defects must be repaired. the residual stresses impress the operation and efficiency of the repair weldment. in this study, the temperature and the residual stress fields were investigated by both the finite element simulation and ...

Mass spectrometry was performed on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of dodecanethiol on gold using the new direct analysis in real time (DART) ionization technique. Observed peaks for the SAMs included monomers, dimers, and trimers of the SAM molecules, with the dimer and trimer relative peak heights enhanced as compared to the spectra for neat dodecanethiol. The possibility that the observed p...

Crossover designs, or repeated measurements designs, are used for experiments in which t treatments are applied to each of n experimental units successively over p time periods. Such experiments are widely used in areas such as clinical trials, experimental psychology and agricultural field trials. In addition to the direct effect on the response of the treatment in the period of application, t...

The direct integration of GaN with Si can boost great potential for low-cost, large-scale, and high-power device applications. However, it is still challengeable to directly grow on without using thick strain relief buffer layers due their large lattice thermal-expansion-coefficient mismatches. In this work, a GaN/Si heterointerface any layer successfully fabricated at room temperature via surf...
