in this paper, the interface crack of two non-homogenous functionally graded materials is studied. subsequently, with employing the displacement method for fracture of mixed-mode stress intensity factors, the continuous variation of material properties are calculated. in this investigation, the displacements are derived with employing of the functional graded material programming and analysis o...

objective: in ventricular arrhythmias, due to their free radical scavenging action, antioxidant agents are usually used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. since stress is considered as risk factor for increased mortality by causing malignant arrhythmias, the study was designed to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of ellagic acid (ea) on cacl2-induced arrhythmias in rat stress model...

in order to evaluate the effect of drought stress on grain yield and its components of fennel accessions, a field experiment was conducted as a split plot based on complete randomized block design with three replications. this experiment was conducted in research farm of agricultural faculty of zanjan university in 2012. in this study water stress in two levels included control and drought stre...

Objective: Drought stress is most important factor which reduce root and shoot growth in crops. This study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and Zn fertilizer on root traits of four cultivars of chickpea. Methods: Experiment was laid out in a split plot-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. Drought stress treatment stand in main...

Due to the complex geometry and thermos-mechanical loading, cylinder heads are the most challenging parts among all parts engines. They must endure cyclic thermal and mechanical loading throughout their lifetime. Cast aluminum alloys are normally quenched after solution treatment process to improve aging responses. Rapid quenching can lead to high residual stress. Residual stress is one of the ...

we have studied the effect of amitriptyline, a tricyclic anti-depressant drug on several immune parameters of the balb/c mice in order to evaluate its immunomodulatory effects. results showed that amitriptyline will potentiates all of the immunocytes functions except for the production of pge2 by lps stimulated monocytes. we have also showed that amitriptyline can normalize the immunosuppressiv...
