abstract among activities that can be used to prevent piping phenomena and reduce seepage and exit gradient are installation of cutoff wall and drain under hydraulic structures. hence in this study, to investigating the influence of each mentioned parameter on uplift force and exit gradient a computer model has developed in which general equation of fluid flow into the isotropic and anisotropic...

the accurate prediction of protein stability is one of the most challenging goals in protein formulation and delivery. in this study, a gradient rp-hplc method is described for the separation of human growth hormone (hgh) variants as deamidated and oxidized forms. the methodology employed a polymeric poly (styrene-co-divinylbenzene) column and a 1ml/min flow rate of a linear gradient of 0.1% v/...

linear dynamic response of simply supported nanobeams subjected to a variable axial force is assessed by galerkin numerical approach. constitutive behavior is described by three functional forms of elastic energy densities enclosing nonlocal and strain gradient effects and their combination. linear stationary dynamics of nanobeams is modulated by an axial force which controls the global stiffne...

ooms et al sets out some good general principles for a global social support system to improve fairer global competitiveness as a result of redistribution. this commentary sets out to summarize some of the conditions that would need to be satisfied for it to level up gradients in inequality through such a social support system, using the national basketball association (nba) example as a point ...

the study describes the synthesis and characterization of zinc(ii) minoxidil nanocomposite (1). the reaction between zinc(ii) acetate, minoxidil, {c9h15n5o=minoxidil=(2,4-diamino-6-piperidine-1-yl) pyrimidine n-oxide)} as a ligand and ki as bridging agent, in methanol at 60°c leads to the formation of nano-sized zn(ii) minoxidil nanocomposite, 1. characterization of (1) was carried out by eleme...

the purpose of this reseach was to examine the influence of resin consumption gradient and press time on the physical and mechanical properties of particleboard produced from citrus tree residues. four resin consumption gradients; 0, 2, 4 and 6% difference between surface and core layers (10-10%, 11-9%, 12-8% and 13-7%) and two press times of 4 and 5 minutes were applied and totally 24 laborato...

background: it has been claimed that by using different washing methods, the sperms can be separated according to size, motility, density, chromosomal content and surface markings and charge. these methods also reduce sperm chromatin deficiencies and screen the sperms before applying in assisted reproduction techniques. objective: this study compared simple density gradient methods and a combin...
