field observations of the incurred damages to the buildings and bridges due to earthquakes in near field show there are various failure modes which are in relation to the forces caused by vertical component. while vertical component of earthquake for ordinary buildings in most seismic regulations and standards is not considered. therefore, in the current study the effects of vertical and horizo...

cytomegalovirus (cmv) infection can cause colitis which is usually manifested with fever, weight loss, anorexia and abdominal pain.watery diarrhea can be the only manifestation. cmv colitis usually can not be diagnosed according to the clinical findings. moreover, endoscopic appearance can exactly mimic pseudo-membranous colitis. here by, we are presenting a patient with fever and watery diarrh...

objective(s):this study aims at exploring cytotoxic activity of different peptides derived from vsvg protein against mcf-7 and mda-mb-231 breast cancer cell lines and human embryonic kidney normal cell (hek 293).    materials and methods: the anticp web server was used to predict anticancer peptides. the cytotoxic activity of peptides with high score (p26, p7) and low score (p19) was examined b...

the incremental sheet metal forming (ismf) process is a new and flexible method that is well suited for small batch production or prototyping. this paper studies the use of the finite element method in the incremental forming process of aa1050 sheets to investigate the influence of tool diameter, vertical step size, and friction coefficient on forming force, spring-back, and thickness distribut...

Many theoretical approaches and implementations have been proposed for the coupling of the three-dimensional ocean circulation with waves. The theoretical models are reviewed and it is shown that the formulation in terms of the quasi-Eulerian velocity circumvents the essential difficulty of alternative formulations for the Lagrangian mean velocity. Namely, models based on this Lagrangian veloci...

The paper proposes a new method for adjusting classical terrestrial observations (total station) together with satellite (GNSS-Global Navigation Satellite Systems) vectors. All the are adjusted in single common three-dimensional system of reference. proposed does not require to be projected onto an ellipsoid or converted between reference systems. adjustment process follows transformation geode...

abstract traumatic descending thoracic aorta pseudo aneurysms have been treated traditionally with open surgery in the past, which have had noticeable rates of mortality and morbidity. a safer method of treatment for this disease is made possible with recent progress in endovascular treatment techniques. in this article, we present three cases of traumatic descending thoracic aorta pseudo aneur...
