The following proceeding presents a multiscale approach to investigate the hydraulic anisotropy and retention behavior in porous materials involving deformation effects. Concerning former, single-phasic fluid flow simulations using lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) are initially accomplished at pore-level geometry of Bentheimer sandstones provided by X-ray microscopy several degrees compression co...

the hot compression tests were carried on x45crniw189 valve steel (x45) in the temperature rangeof 1000– 1200 °c and the strain rate range of 0.004 – 0.5 s-1 in order to study the high temperaturesoftening behavior of this steel. for the exact prediction of flow stress, the effective stress-effectivestrain curves were obtained from experiments under various conditions. on the basis of experimen...

paulownia is one of the fast-growing species that was attended to supply industrial requirement in recent years. the application of this species is limited because of low density, so wood modification via compression and densification is an effective method. for this purpose, the paulownia boles were prepared from shastkalateh forest and cut into blocks with 60×20×20 mm dimension. the variable ...

Within recent years the use of medical images for diagnosis purposes has become necessity. The limitation in transmission and storage space also growing size of medical images has necessitated the need for efficient method, then image Compression is required as an efficient way to reduces irrelevant and redundancy of the image data in order to be able to store or transmits data. It also reduces...

Image data require huge amounts of disk space and large bandwidths for transmission. Hence, imagecompression is necessary to reduce the amount of data required to represent a digital image. Thereforean efficient technique for image compression is highly pushed to demand. Although, lots of compressiontechniques are available, but the technique which is faster, memory efficient and simple, surely...

In patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung emptying may be affected by flow limitation. We tested the hypothesis that the airway compression leading to flow limitation can be counteracted by controlling the expiratory flow. The effects of an external resistor on lung emptying were studied in six patients with COPD, who were mechanically ventilated whilst sedated ...

statement of problem: primary teeth discoloration can cause mentally and socially unpleasant effects in children. this can also be a sign of systemic disease. despite the importance of this subject, a comprehensive study has not been performed yet. purpose: the aim of this study was determining the frequency of different types of primary teeth discoloration. materials and methods: in this cross...
