Thermal buckling behavior of functionally graded Euler-Bernoulli beams in thermal conditions is investigated analytically. The beam with material and thermal properties dependent on the temperature and position is considered. Based on the transformed-section method, the functionally graded beam is considered as an equivalent homogeneous Euler-Bernoulli beam with an effective bending rigidity un...

Nowadays neutron capture therapy looks very promising method of cancer treatment, especially for brain tumors by reason of selective damage cancer cells. Treatment effect of this method based on neutrons nuclear reaction with nuclides B, Gd. These nuclides have high cross-section of interaction with thermal neutrons. Unfortunately, thermal neutrons could enter only in near surface tissue and co...

Introduction: To write a computational program to calculate the average glandular dose in Mammography with Rh-Rh target-filter and also use it as an accurate and fast method of dose calculation founder different situations. Materials and Methods: In this research, the Sobol-Wu parameters are used to write a FORTRAN code for glandular dose calculation in Rh-Rh target-filter mammograms. The code ...

This study intends to semi-analytically investigate the steady 3D boundary layer flow of a SiC-TiO2/DO hybrid nanofluid over a porous spinning disk subject to a constant vertical magnetic field. Here, the novel attitude to single-phase hybrid nanofluid model corresponds to considering nanoparticles and base fluid masses to compute solid equivalent volume fraction, solid equivalent de...

The epithermal neutron beam model of the Finnish boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) facility (FiR 1) was created using the two-dimensional (2D) discrete ordinates transport (DORT) code. The final design of the beam was achieved using the DORT model: the optimal thickness of the neutron moderator and the length and the thickness of the bismuth collimator of the beam were calculated. The final ...

Thermal hydraulics of nuclear reactor as a basis of reactor safety has a very important role in reactor design and control. The thermal-hydraulic analysis provides input data to the reactor-physics analysis, whereas the latter gives information about the distribution of heat sources, which is needed to perform the thermal-hydraulic analysis. In this study single heated channel model as a very f...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-nociceptive effects of a low, sub-effective dose of amitriptyline, in combination with the different doses of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of crocus sativus following sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury (cci) in rats. amitriptyline (3, 10 and 30 mg/kg, i.p.) and the extracts (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, i.p.), were separately administered at the ...

Background: Since 1996 the assessment of environmental gamma radiation dose in residential areas of Iranian towns and cities has been accomplished for 10 counties. As a practical method and based on the results of a pilot study, in order to attribute the final results to the whole residential area of a town five stations were selected for every town. The location of individual station wa...
