hysteresis has been widely recognized in the soil water relationship. in this paper, a detailed review of hysteresis was performed in relation to its models. so far, different models have been suggested to describe hysteresis in the water retention curve (wrc) that could be categorized into two main groups: conceptual and empirical models. the models in the first group are based on the domain t...

Owing to the high expressiveness of regular expression, it is frequently used in searching and manipulation of text based data. Regular expression is highly applicable in processing Latin alphabet based text, but the same cannot be said for Hangeul∗, the writing system for Korean language. Although Hangeul possesses alphabetic features within the script, expressiveness of regular expression pat...

in the present work a two dimensional numerical investigation of steam flows in a turbine blade passage is performed. a finite volume approach has been used and the pressure–velocity coupling is resolved using the simple algorithm. the purpose of this paper is to find that one of the used turbulent models is better for this kind of studies. a structured mesh arrangement with boundary layer mesh...

OBJECTIVE To identify medications and other potential risk factors, in addition to renal dysfunction, for developing gadolinium-induced nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). DATA SOURCES Information was obtained from PubMed, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, Iowa Drug Information Service, and Google Scholar, using the unlimited search terms nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, NSF, nephrogenic...

Previous studies have demonstrated the involvement of nerve repellent factors in regulation of the imbalanced innervation of endometriosis. This prospective study aims to explore the role of Sema 3A in regulating aberrant sympathetic innervation in peritoneal and deep infiltrating endometriosis. Ectopic endometriotic lesion were collected from patients with peritoneal endometriosis (n = 24) and...

in this research between 3-dimensional and axisymmetric modeling for movement of nano-particles in passing through a aerodynamic lens, and also between these models and famous model of wang & liu was compared. for this purpose, output of nano-particles penetration, divergence angel, and nano-particle velocity with wang & liu model was compared. geometrical model used for aerodynamic lens compar...
