Neuronal mechanisms of auditory distance perception are poorly understood, largely because contributions of intensity and distance processing are difficult to differentiate. Typically, the received intensity increases when sound sources approach us. However, we can also distinguish between soft-but-nearby and loud-but-distant sounds, indicating that distance processing can also be based on inte...

background : one way to optimize energy consumption is replacing incandescent lamp with compact fluorescent lamps .these lamps produce ultraviolet radiation due to the nature of light production. this study aimed to evaluate the ultraviolet radiation emitted from compact fluorescent lamps which are widely used in iran. methods : this study carries out on 16 compact fluorescent lamps (four diffe...

background: with increased use of computers, exposure to electric and magnetic fields is increasing, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the electric and magnetic field strength in portable computers (laptops) and its relation with eyestrain users. methods: in this cross – sectional study, magnetic and electric fields in 125 laptop computers were measured from 30 cm and 50 cm dista...

The stress distribution on the tip of the cracks and the stress intensity factor on them are the main courses in the fracture mechanic. The stress intensity factor of the cracks with the different load exited and the different geometry are listed in the tables of the standard books. In all of them, the cracks are located in the central point of the plates. In the uniform edge loaded case, the c...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a period of interval training and step taper on weight changes and endurance performance in male rats during puberty. in this experimental study, 40 male wistar rats (3 weeks old) were randomly divided into exercise and control groups. after 6 weeks of incremental interval training, exercise group was divided in to 3 groups of 3-week taper ...

in this paper, inflow turbulence effects on the flow wake parameters around a naca0012 airfoil at zero incidence angle and reynolds number of 38,700 were investigated. various turbulence promoter networks were used to achieve turbulence intensity of 5% and 6%. experiments have been conducted for three different turbulence intensities in which mean velocity parameters, turbulence intensity, freq...

Abstract: The original intensity value recorded by terrestrial laser scanners is influenced by multiple variables, among which incidence angle and distance play a crucial and dominant role. Further studies on incidence angle and distance effects are required to improve the accuracy of currently available methods and to implement these methods in practical applications. In this study, the effect...
