A refined three-dimensional version of the time-dependent Thomas-Fermi model is used to qualitatively study the explosion of rare-gas atomic clusters in an intense laser field. Clusters as large as 55 atoms are exposed to a strong subpicosecond laser pulse. A stepwise character of the explosion is observed in which atomic shells are expelled sequentially. The role of ‘‘hot’’ electron dynamics i...

The electroma.gnetic, noncontact transducer (EMAT) is particularly well suited to ultrasonic inspec~ tion problems where it is difficult or impossible to couple the sound into the object being tested ~ through a liquid or grease layer. For inspecting buried natural gas pipelines, the inspection process must be carried out by a self contained instrument package blown through the pipe by the gas ...

to determine the effective bio-control agents of water fern, azolla filiculoides, adults and nymphs of water lily aphid, rhopalosiphum nymphaeae (l.), were collected on a. filiculoides in guilan province, iran, during october 2013. this aphid has been collected extensively from almost all water fern samples during 2013 and 2014. although r. nymphaeae was reported from numerous host plants in ir...

Structural health monitoring of cracked structures is one of beloved subject of researchers recently. Consider of crack behavior in the water and energy pipeline is important because of environmental problems. In this paper consider of crack parameters in the underwater pipe subjected to mechanical transient load is investigated. For this purpose, three- dimensional parametric model of cracked ...

Recently, the introduction of advanced “Hydrogen Gas Cutting” was investigated but finally abandoned due to the problems of several accidents occurred, cost merit and safety. The facility is called “Hydrogen-Oxygen Mixture Gas Generation System” and stores the hydrogen detonating gas (when hydrogen and oxygen are mixed to 2:1 in volume ratio, the mixture gas violently explodes if ignited), so t...

from the perspective of theorists of international relations including functionalists and regionalists, establishment of cooperation and economic, commercial and transportation relations is among the suitable methods for fostering integration in international relations and deepening friendship, peace and stability particularly among regional countries. considering this fact, the authors believe...

The possibility of gas explosion accidents always exists at offshore facilities of the oil and gas industry. In the design of those structures, the structural safety assessment against explosion loads is necessary to prevent loss of lives or catastrophic failure of structures. One of the essential parts in the structural assessment is to determine design explosion loads. Nowadays, the explosion...
