background and objective: parkinson’s disease (pd) is a common neurological disorder due to degeneration of dopaminergic neurons within pars compacta of substantia nigra (snc). with regard to protective effect of malva sylvestris (ms), this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of aquaeous extract of this plant in an experimental model of pd induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-ohda). materials...

Wound rotor induction motors are used in a certain number of industrial applications due to their interesting advantages, such as the possibility inserting external rheostats series with winding enhance torque characteristics under starting and decrease high inrush currents. However, more complex structure winding, compared cage motors, is source for potential maintenance problems. In this rega...

A Crystal Plasticity Finite Element (CPFE) framework is proposed for modeling the non-Schmid yield behavior of L12 type Ni3Al crystals and Ni-based superalloys. This relies on estimation model parameters directly from orientation- temperature-dependent experimental stress data. The inelastic deformation extended to precipitate phase superalloys in a homogenized dislocation density based crystal...

torsion of many symmetric structures, which were designed based on the seismic codes, is due to their asymmetricity induced during inelastic behavior. although the structure was designed symmetrically assuming elastic based criteria, different factors such as material inconsistency in structure, construction details discrepancy and construction errors may result in asymmetric behavior in inelas...

Operational decisions under information asymmetry can signal a firm’s prospects to lessinformed parties, such as investors, customers, competitors, and regulators. Consequently, managers in these settings often face a tradeoff between making an optimal decision and sending a favorable signal. We provide experimental evidence on the choices made by decision makers in such settings. Equilibrium a...
