Local scouring around bridge piers is a natural phenomenon caused by the erosive process of flowing stream on alluvial beds. The 3D flow field around bridge piers interacting with the bed materials increases complexity of local scour process. The local scour depth develops in accelerated flows and if it is not predicted correctly, the bottom level of local scour hole will exceed the original le...

results our data showed that the eae induction in group one was significantly more successful than group two (with the mean score > 3). conclusions although the eae is still a scientific method to induce ms in rodents, it requires more attention to environmental factors that might influence the result. the mechanisms of these factors are unknown, but it seems that the role of housing environmen...

parcel delivery is a complex logistic service, as it serves many small or medium-sized customers who may send or receive parcels. modeling such delivery system needs to integrate two different research areas of hub location and vehicle routing. as it totally depends on the network and the linkage of the nodes, in this paper, some door-to-door service providers are taken into account to provide ...

Present day has led to these pathological conditions known as metabolic syndrome. The prevalence syndrome(MeS) greatly increases in urban population. syndrome includes cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, thyroid abnormalities. A cr...

A fundamental problem that agro-environmental sciences have to face today is the lack of interdisciplinary linkages between the various disciplines dealing with agriculture and environment and the physics of the “soil medium” organization, which is the object of study of the pedology. Currently, the soil medium is far from being considered as the organized physical medium providing the physical...
