Plants are influenced inevitably by environmental stresses due to their immobility. Sound waves are one of these environmental factors affecting plants. This study was designed to understand the relationship between sound waves and plant responses that is still low knowledge. For this purpose, Salvia splendens, one of the common plants in urban green spaces, were influenced by sound wa...

Synthetically focused imaging has been used for some time in the NDE community. The techniques have primarily been directed towards imaging using bulk waves. There has recently been use of SAFT (Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique) using guided waves in plates. Here, we review three different synthetically focused imaging algorithms for a linear array aperture: CSM (Common Source Method), SAF...

seismic waves when crossing the earth in heterogeneous and anisotropic environments, having interaction. recognizing the impact of these factors on the seismograms help us to find out more information about interior of the earth. coda waves are the main reason for the random heterogeneities in earth. local earthquakes in the northeast region of iran with epicentral distance less than 200 km is ...

In this paper we present a new digital ultrasonic instrument for nondestructive inspection of rock bolts using guided waves. The Rock Bolt Tester (RBT) instrument applies long-range ultrasound to investigate bolt’s status, especially its grouting condition. RBT features an application tailored ultrasound probe that transmits high-energy, low frequency (below 100kHz) guided waves and is capable ...

email marketing is increasingly recognized as an effective internet marketing tool. in this study, a questionnaire is constructed and distributed to a sample of 146 prospects of aditi technologies to find the factors associated with higher response rates. the collected data is analyzed using factor analysis and the 11 factors, from line, subject line, personalization of the subject line, timing...

The Bödewadt boundary layer flow on the stationary bottom end wall of a finite rotating cylinder is very sensitive to perturbations and noise. Axisymmetric radial waves propagating inward have been observed experimentally and numerically before the appearance of spiral three-dimensional instabilities. In this study, the sensitivity and response of the finite Bödewadt flow to a harmonic modulati...

The modeling of the interaction between piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWAS) and structural waves and vibration is addressed. Three main issues are discussed: (a) modeling of pitch-catch ultrasonic waves between a PWAS transmitter and a PWAS receiver by comparison between exact Lamb wave solutions and various finite element method (FEM) results; (b) analytical modeling of the power and ene...
