The MERIS aerosol remote sensing over ocean is available and over land has been improved for a better spatial coverage. Air quality monitoring of the particles is based on in situ measurements of PM10 and PM2.5 which are respectively the density of particles of diameter lesser than 10 μm, lesser than 2.5 μm, at the surface. In order to promote the use of Earth Observation, we would like to conv...

post failure analysis of massive structure infers that soil-structure interaction (ssi) is a crucial phenomena influencing seismic response of massive structures. cable-stayed bridge’s popularity and numbers are increasing now-a-days because of economical longer span & aesthetic good look. the current paper examines the effect of depth of foundation on seismic response of cable-stayed bridg...

Arterial wall stiffness is considered an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Aim of this study was to evaluate relationship between clinical, 24-hour, average day-time and night-time blood pressure (BP) and measures of arterial stiffness assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV) (using SphygmoCor applanation tonometer) in essential hypertension (severe-resistant (RH, n=29) and moderate hyperten...

BACKGROUND Most surgeons do not fix the lesser trochanter when managing femoral intertrochanteric fractures with intramedullary nails. We have not found any published clinical studies on the relationship between the integrity of the lesser trochanter and surgical outcomes of intertrochanteric fractures treated with intramedullary nails. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of th...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate in vivo biocompatibility of resilon, compared with gutta-percha, at short and long-term following implantation in a rat subcutaneous implantation model. materials and methods: male wistar rats were implanted subcutaneously with either resilon or gutta-percha or were sham controls. tissues were harvested at 8 days or 60 days after implantation...

objectives: the aim of this study was to explain the various style of leisure activity and recreation of elderly people in tehran. methods & materials: to achieve this purpose, 17 older participants within the age range of 65-86 years who were selected through purposeful sampling undertook semi structured interviews. a conventional qualitative content analysis was used for analyzing the data. r...

past earthquakes have demonstrated that old rc bridges may be seismically vulnerable. bridge responses during the last decades illustrated the necessity of the seismic assessment of bridges especially those which were designed with old codes. in this research an existing concrete bridge representative of the most common bridges in the highway system in iran are studied. push over and nonlinear ...
