The thermo-mechanical behaviour of concrete energy pile foundations with different single and double U-tube shapes incorporated was analysed using the Comsol Multi-physics package. For the analysis, a 3D numerical model in real scale of the concrete pile and surrounding soil was simulated regarding actual operation of ground heat exchangers (GHE) and the surrounding ambient temperature. Based o...

in the paper we developed a new method to determine the absolute amount of adsorption. this method relies on the excess adsorption isotherm and the density profile in the pore of one material. to compute the density profile and decrease complex calculation of obtaining the absolute amount of adsorption we introduced simplified local-density (sld) model. a few of appropriate parameters were acqu...

Sensitivity analysis for water vapor profile estimation with Infrared: IR sounder data based on inversion is carried out. Through simulation study, it is found that influence due to ground surface relative humidity estimation error is greater than that of sea surface temperature estimation error on the water vapor vertical profile retrievals. KeywordsIR sounde; error budget analysis; MODTRAN; a...

Objective(s): Breast cancer is a fatal disease and the leading cause of mortality in women. Radiofrequency hyperthermia is an approach to the treatment of cancer cells through increasing their temperature. The present study aimed to investigate breast tumor ablation via radiofrequency hyperthermia in the presence and non-presence states of magnetite nanoparticles and assess the effects of magne...

Modelling of surface temperature change effect on temperature vs. depth and temperature-depth logs in Western Canada Sedimentary Basin show that SAT (surface air temperature) forcing is the main driving factor for the underground temperature changes diffusing with depth. It supports the validity of the basic hypothesis of borehole temperature paleoclimatology, namely that the ground surface tem...

The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of oral health impacts among patients with severe malocclusions and dentofacial deformities before treatment. A further aim was to evaluate the effect of gender or the type of malocclusion on the oral impacts. The study comprised 151 adult patients who were referred for orthodontic or surgical-orthodontic treatment to the Oral and Maxillofac...

The aim of this longitudinal observational study was to evaluate the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) following patient rehabilitation with implant-retained mandibular overdentures (IMO) and to identify the contribution of the different domains to OHRQoL. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-EDENT), Dental Impact on Daily Living (DIDL), and Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GO...

BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to investigated changes in OHRQoL among patients with different classifications of malocclusion during comprehensive orthodontic treatment. METHODS Clinical data were collected from 81 patients (aged 15 to 24) who had undergone comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Participants were classified 3 groups: Class I (n = 35), II (n = 32) and III (n = 14)...

temperature profile during the salting process play an important role in cheese quality since microbial and enzymatic activities, are thereby affected. in this work a three dimensional model was developed for heat transfer in the ultrafilterated cheese by using numerical solution of fourier's second law with finite difference method (explicit scheme) as a function of internal variable (che...
