objective: corrosion resistance is among the most important properties of metal alloys used in the oral cavity. consumption of acidic foods reduces the salivary ph and intensifies the corrosion of brackets and orthodontic wires. this study aimed to compare electro galvanic corrosion of different orthodontic brackets and wires and determine the amount of ions released into acidic artificial sali...

central venous catheterization (cvc) is a commonly performed procedure for venous access. it is associated with several complications. we report a rare case of extra luminal entrapment of guide wire during cvc placement in right jugular vein. we report a case of 28 years old female patient presented in our emergency with history of entrapped guide wire in right side of neck during cvc. x-ray sh...

Idioms are a big part of languages but can cause trouble for communication, especially for non-native speakers of a language. Interpreting idioms correctly means that one must derive a figurative meaning from words that individually mean something else. Recent research primarily focuses on the impact of context for successful idiom comprehension and seems to prioritize native speakers’ understa...

This paper presents a new method called vespiary regular hexagonal (VRH) model in order to calculate parasitic capacitance between conductor wire filaments of one turn of coil (OTC) and between conductor wire filaments and liner and also total capacitance of one turn of the helix magneto flux cumulative generator (MCG) coil include single-layer conductor wire filaments in form of rectangular cr...

A quadra-ridged waveguide transformer (QRWT) is proposed for full-band matching between a standard and half-height waveguide, which meets the need compact components multiple sections of irregular transmission lines better in wider operation bands. Unlike conventional circuits with monotonically changing impedances, QRWTs form abrupt cross-section changes line steps. The initial configuration Q...

The wire drawing process is extensively used in manufacturing components such as rivet, screw, welding wire, etc. In this work, an analytical of the wire drawing process has been considered for two-stage operation. ABAQUS commercial Finite Element code has been used to obtained the drawing force. Then, The analytical and experimental results been compared. The results show a good agreement for...

in this paper, scattering of a plane and monochromatic electromagnetic wave from a nano-wire is simulated using surface integral equations. first, integral equationsgoverning unknown fields on the surface is obtained based on stratton-cho surface integral equations. then, the interaction of the wave with a non-plasmonic as well as a palsmonic nano-wire is considered. it is shown that in scatter...

An ultrafine grain surface layer with average crystallite size of 28 nm was produced on annealed mild steel through a wire brushing process. The effects of grain size reduction on the inhibition performance of sodium phosphate were investigated using polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The crystal grain size of wire brushed surface was analyzed by X-ray d...

The build-up dose in the megavoltage photon beams can be a limiting factor in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatments. Excessive surface dose can cause patient discomfort and treatment interruptions, while underdosing may lead to tumor repopulation and local failure. Dose in the build-up region was investigated for IMRT delivery with solid brass compensator technique(compensator...
