Patients with unresectable advanced carcinoma of the uterine cervix are usually treated with chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. In the present study, the optimal administration protocol for etoposide in chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy for advanced cervical cancer patients was investigated in vitro using the radio-sensitive and anticancer drug-sensitive human cervical squamous cell carcinoma ...

In this paper, the nonlinear conjugate map is applied based on the conjugate Hasofer-Lind and Rackwitz- Fiessler (CHL-RF) method to evaluate the reliability index using the first order reliability method of the embedded nanocomposite beam, which is made of a polymer reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The structure is simulated with the Timoshenko beam model. The Mori-Tanaka model is appli...

In this article, the nonlocal biaxial buckling load and bending analysis of polymeric piezoelectric nanoplate reinforced by carbon nanotube (CNT) considering the surface stress effect is presented. This plate is subjected to electro-magneto-mechanical loadings. Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach is used for defining the piezoelectric nanoplate material properties. Navier’s type solution is employed t...

Thermal stress analysis of a thick-walled cylinder reinforced with functionally graded (FG) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is considered in radial direction. Thick-walled cylinder is subjected to a thermal field. Two layouts of variations in the volume fraction of SWCNTs were considered in the composite cylinder along the radius from inner to outer surface, where their names are increm...

Approximately, 50 to 70 percent of hydration products in hydrated cement paste are polymorphisms of C-S-H gel. It is highly influential in the final properties of hardened cement paste. Distinguishing C-S-H nano-structure significantly leads to determine its macro scale ensemble properties. This paper is dealt with nano-scale modeling. To achieve this, the most important C-S-H compounds, with a...

Asphalt mixtures with high porosities (known as porous asphalt (PA) mixes) are becoming a popular choice among road authorities it provides better skid resistance while also reducing tire-pavement noises. Towards the design and manufacture of PA mix pavement, evaluation mechanical properties mixes is great importance. To predict mixes, micromechanical models have been considered an effective to...

In literature, the concept of material gradation is shown to inhibit surface crack initiation in glass/ceramic composites subjected Hertzian indentation. However, cracks could yet initiate due relatively higher loadings or presence flaws/defects. Hence, characterization graded concerning resistance against and propagation manifests itself as a prominent matter. this study, axisymmetric evolving...
