background: colibacillosis, caused by different serotypes of avian pathogenic escherichia coli (apec), is one of the important diseases in poultry industry. the isolate o78 is the most prevalent serotype of apec in iran. one of the apec virulence factors, increased serum survival (iss) gene, is related to serum resistance. the usual form of colibacillosis in avian is extraintestinal, and serum ...

It is about 50 years that FMD affected the ruminants of Isfahan. Last outbreaks of FMD were happened at 2005 even vaccinated animals, so in current work using RT-PCR, sequencing and regression "r" values, the isolated strains in Isfahan were identified. The aim of this study was molecular epidemiology of FMDV in Isfahan province as the central part of Iran in 2006-2009. According to the result ...

Due to the importance effect of magnetic field on the history of long-term radial and circumfer-ential creep strain and radial displacement for a three-phase nano-composite exposed to an internal pressure and placed uniform temperature, the present article subject has been pro-posed. Three-phase nano-composite made of single-walled carbon nano tubes (SWCNTs)/ glass fiber (GF)/vinylester used to...

In sheet metal forming processes with complex strain paths, a part is subjected to large plastic deformation. This severe plastic deformation leads to high plastic strain localization zones and subsequent accumulation of those strains. Then internal and superficial micro-defects and in other words ductile damage is created. This damage causes quality problems such as fracture. Therefore, design...

Modifying stress-strain curves is one of the important topics in mechanical engineering and materials science. Real stress-strain curves should be modified after necking point as stress becomes three-dimensional after creation of throat, and consequently, equivalent stress should be used instead of axial one. Also, distribution of triple stresses across throat section is not uniform anymore, an...

in this study, the effects cold rolling and annealing parameters during thermomechanical processing of the aisi 201ln stainless steel were investigated. the cast samples were homogenized, hot-rolled and solution-annealed to acquire a suitable microstructure for the subsequent thermomechanical treatment. unidirectional and transverse multi-pass cold rolling at 25, 0 and -15 °c was carried out to...

a nano/ultra-fine grain al-0.2wt% zr alloy was produced by accumulated roll bonding (arb) processafter 10 cycles. the fraction of high angle grain boundaries increased from 8% to 65.4% during 10passes during arb process. this alloy was subjected to tensile test at different temperatures (523,573and 623 k) and strain rates (0.1 and 0.01 s-1). the optimum condition of temperature and strain rate ...
