background: scaling and corrosion are the two most important indexes in water quality evaluation. pollutants are released in water due to corrosion of pipelines. the aim of this study is to assess the scale formation and corrosion of drinking water supplies in ilam city (iran). methods: this research is a descriptive and cross-sectional study which is based on the 20 drinking water sources in i...

In this paper, a novel analysis was carried out on the biosensor microcantilevers in order to increase the sensitivity of a microcantilever based biosensor piezoresistive. Holes were made and compared with the basic rectangular (R), triangular (T), and step(S) profile cantilever. Effect of changing the micro-cantilevers profile and its cross-section shape was investigated. A finite element ANSY...

introduction: the key characteristics of positron emission tomography (pet) are its quantitative capability and its sensitivity, which allow the in vivo imaging of biochemical interactions with small amounts of tracer concentrations. therefore, accurate quantification is important. however, it can be sensitive to several physical factors. the aim of this investigation is the assessment of the e...

abstract different strategies are existed for adjusting with water shortage, of which the strategy of suitable policies adoption by determining optimum production function can be mentioned. water shortage and quality degradation of soil and water resources is one of main factors of production reduction. therefore, this study was carried out for determination of tomato sensitivity coefficients a...

Abstract. This paper deals with axisymmmetry breaking instabilities in Czochralski process of crystal growth. Numerical linear stability analysis was carried out using the axisymmetric bulk flow model. Stability diagrams of critical Grashof numbers Grc and frequencies ωc dependent on aspect ratio α(=height/radius), 0.4 ≤ α ≤ 1.0 and Prandtl number Pr = 0.01 are shown. Computations were carried ...

Understanding how a cutout influences the load bearing capacity and buckling behavior of cylindrical shells is fundamental in the design of structural components used in automobiles, aircrafts, and marine structures. In this article, simulation and analysis of steel cylindrical shells with various lengths, include quasi elliptical cutout, subjected to axial compression were systematically carri...

In the present work, the sensitivity to the moisture (hygroscopisity) is studied for 3,4-dinitropyrazole (DNP) as a famous energetic molecule. All of the DNP-H2O complex systems (1-3) as well as individual molecules were optimized and bond lengths, bond angles, dihedral angles, charge transfer and stability via NBO analysis, corrected interaction energies with ZPE + BSSE and hydrogen bonds anal...

background: classical bacteriological detection of brucella species from food, and environment is routinely carried out based on morphological and biochemical characteristics. however, for increasing specificity and sensitivity of species identification methods, development of a molecular assay is necessary that was main aim of this study. methods: panel of some reference strains belonging to t...
