introduction: fasting, like islamic ramadan fasting, has been associated with health benefits. islamic ramadan fasting, a form of caloric restriction (cr) or alternate day fasting that. studies suggest a comparable effect of adf and caloric restriction. despite the fact that fasting can be considered as a form of dietary restriction, fasters tend to have difficulty to reduce their food intake d...

A novel, mid-infrared laser-absorption sensor was developed for measurements of biofuel blend (E85) vapor in the intake runner a single-cylinder internal combustion engine. The used two interband cascade lasers to target region strong E85 absorbance near 3.35 µm. were co-aligned and fiber-coupled into engine, two-color, online-offline differential absorption strategy provide sensitive mole frac...

Introduction: It is estimated that by 2020, non communicable diseases will account for approximately twothird of all diseases that are often related to life style and nutrition. This study was conducted to assess Food pattern and anthropometric indices of students in Kerman University of Medical Sciences. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 375 students (225 females, 150 males) with mean ag...

the cracked brazilian disc (cbd) specimen is widely used in order to determine mode-i/ii and mixed-mode fracture toughness of a rock medium. in this study, the stress intensity factor (sif) on the crack-tip in this specimen is calculated for various geometrical crack conditions using the extended-finite element method (x-fem). this method is based upon the finite element method (fem). in this m...

the starting behavior of a supersonic axisymmetric mixed compression air intake was numerically investigated. the code solves reynolds-averaged navier–stokes equations using an explicit finite volume method in a structured grid by the roe flux difference splitting scheme. further, it uses the baldwin–lomax algebraic model to compute the turbulent viscosity coefficient. the correct method of sur...

In studies conducted in 2017-2020. It has been proved that the erosion and of Amu Darya's banks, which occur due to rapid uneven changes its channel, requires large expenditures for bringing water Amu-Bukhara channel with a damless intake. An analysis pumping station data shows uninterrupted movement system intake-distribution-channel-sediment retention system-system-fore-chamber-suction pipes-...
