objective(s): a novel iq-specttm method has become widely used in clinical studies. the present study compares the quality of myocardial perfusion images (mpi) acquired using the iq-specttm (iq-mode),conventional (180° apart: c-mode) and l-mode (90° apart: l-mode) systems. we assessed spatial resolution, image reproducibility and quantifiability using various physical phantoms. materials and me...

Axial vibration effect of shell particles on dynamic stability of a cantilevered cylindrical shell under an axial follower force was addressed. In spite of free-ended shells, the reduced axial force under this effect cannot be derived analytically. Instead, an approximate method was proposed based on the fact that the static (and harmonic) axial deformation under an axial load in a free-ended b...

This paper reports an analytical method to show the effect of electrostatic and Casimir forces on the pull-in instability and vibration of single nano-plate (SNP) carrying a moving nanoparticle. Governing equations for nonlocal forced vibration of the SNP under a moving nanoparticle considering electrostatic and Casimir forces are derived by using Hamilton’s principle for the case when two ends...

The need to establish power plants to supply the required electricity of the country has been rising due to increasing demand levels as well as the lack of governmental resources. Furthermore, the available traditional attitude in performing and conducting power plant projects has made government seek a modern attitude. This paper tries to use the topics that have been employed in automotive in...

The aim of a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) is to assign resource(s) with the restricted capacity to an execution mode of activities by considering relationship constraints, to achieve pre-determined objective(s). These goals vary with managers or decision makers of any organization who should determine suitable objective(s) considering organization strategi...
