introduction: we aimed to investigate of effect of left bundle branch block (lbbb) on perfusion and functional parameters in dipyridamole tc99m-mibi gated myocardial perfusion spect which may be helpful in interpretation of myocardial perfusion imaging. methods: we studied 70 patients with low pre-test probability of coronary artery disease in two groups:  35 patients with lbbb and  35 subjects...

Although extensive aging and strain (bake hardening, BH) studies have been carried out on dual-phase steels, the behavior of dual matrix structure (DMS) ductile iron (DI), as a potential way to improve its mechanical properties, has not addressed until now. This research was designed study DI with ferrite-martensite structure. DMS-DI martensite volume fraction 30% produced by intercritical aust...

Abstract Heavy plate steels with bainitic microstructures are widely used in industry due to their good combination of strength and toughness. However, obtaining optimal mechanical properties is often challenging the complex multiple phase constitutions caused by different cooling rates through thickness. Here, both conventional advanced microstructural characterization techniques which bridge ...

Digital quantification of a two-dimensional structure was applied to a GDC(Gd₂O₃-doped CeO₂)/LSM(La₀.₈₅Sr₀.₁₅MnO₃) composite cathode employed for solid oxide fuel cells. With the aid of high-resolution imaging capability based on secondary and backscattered electron images, two-dimensional electron micrographs were converted to digital binary files using an image processing tool combined with t...

in this paper, convection heat transfer of al2o3-water nanofluid turbulent flow through internally ribbed tubes with different rib shapes (rectangular, trapezoidal and semi-circular) is numerically investigated. for each rib shape, the optimum geometric ratio and volume fraction were calculated using entropy generation minimization technique. the governing equations in steady state and axisymme...

in this work, the steady and laminar mixed convection of nanofluid in horizontal concentric annulus withrotating inner cylinder is investigated numerically. the inner and outer cylinders are kept at constanttemperature ti and to respectively, where ti>to. the annular space is filled with alumina-water nanofluid.the governing equations with the corresponded boundary conditions in the polar coord...

In this study, fresh attempts have been made to identify and estimate the phase constituents of a high-silicon, medium carbon multiphase steel (DIN 1.5025 grade) subjected austenitization at 900 °C for 5 min, followed by quenching low-temperature bainitizing (Q&B) 350 200 s. Several techniques were employed using different chemical etching reagents either individually (single-step) or in co...

Currently available non-invasive clinical methods for diagnosing osteoporosis are mainly associated with ionizing radiation. Ultrasonic assessment of bone disease is a more recent technology. A theoretical explanation for the relationship between ultrasonic parameters and bone structure is necessary. Thus, two types of bone samples of perspex (HAP) and perspex-glass beads were produced. Ea...

This study analyses the effect of martensite grain size and its volume fraction in dual-phase (DP) steel on (1) formability limit, (2) average global behavior under different loading conditions, (3) damage initiation. The virtual RVEs (Representative Volume Elements) were constructed using DREAM.3D software with a variation microstructural attributes. numerical simulations carried out DAMASK, w...
