The feasibility of quantifying sodium and potassium in single human erythrocytes was demonstrated by spectrochemical analysis of emissions from plasmas produced by 193-nm laser ablation of blood cells confined in a sheath flow. In one scheme, single blood cells that happened to be in the ablation volume were sampled. In another scheme, individual blood cells were first sighted and then synchron...

The event-by-event analysis of high energy nuclear collisions aims at revealing the richness of the underlying event structures and provide unique measures of dynamical fluctuations associated with QGP phase transition. The major challenge in these studies is to separate the dynamical fluctuations from the many other sources which contribute to the measured values. We present the fluctuations i...

The hierarchical algorithm for curves and ridges is a variation of the burst gravitational wave search algorithm known as TFClusters. In this paper, we examine the detection efficiency of the hierarchical algorithm for curves and ridges by injecting sine-Gaussian burst waveforms with four different central frequencies into data acquired by the GEO600 gravitational wave detector during the S1 ru...

voltage fluctuation is one of the important types of power quality aspects originated from heavy fluctuating loads. this phenomenon can influence the behavior of induction motors, produce excessive vibration and increase the ohmic losses. in this paper a simplified model to evaluate the electrical characteristics of three phase induction motors under voltage fluctuation conditions will be prese...

We present a calculation of the kaon form factors in two-flavor QCD with the non-perturbatively O(a)-improved Wilson quark action. In order to achieve a few percent accuracy in the study of SU(3) breaking effects, we use a set of double ratios of the matrix elements, with which the bulk of the statistical fluctuation and the multiplicative renormalization factors cancel. c Copyright owned by th...

The main objective of this study is to analyze spillover fluctuations between inflation fluctuation and (un)employment fluctuation in relation to agriculture, industry and services sectors of Iran. In line with this, PANEL in Mean-MGARCH model has been used concerning Iran’s agriculture, industry and services sectors over the period of time from spring 2002 to winter 2016. The results show that...

multinational corporations (mncs) are major actors in contemporary world. their negative and positive impacts on human life make clear the need for expanding their responsibilities. the aim of this article is to show how responsibilities of mncs evolve during recent 50-60 years. through two sections, the article examines vertical and horizontal expansion of mncs’ responsibilities and then recen...

we describe a simple model that fits well with iranian economy, and extends a methodology which chary at el. (2007) demonstrated. in addition to four traditional wedges, we introduce additional trade wedge. we then evaluate the contribution of these wedges to the fluctuations in iran during last three years. because of international sanction, trading cost increases, and firms have difficulty to...

In rock engineering, damage evolution upon loading imposes significant impacts on the stiffness of mass and its deformation characteristics. order to investigate influence both plasticity cavity expansion, a plastic solution is derived for undrained spherical expansion in medium. For consideration plasticity-damage, Modified Cam-Clay (MCC) model selected as driver, criterion adopted coupled wit...
