one of the main factors that cause to quality loss for fresh fruit market apples is bruise damage. amongst the factors that affect apple sensitivity to bruising, major one is drop height and area profile during the impact. in the present study, four iranian apple varieties consisted of atirli, kapak, kowse and paiez that were selected and 100 fruits of each variety were picked up, then apples w...

the purpose of the present study was to determine the acute toxicity (lc 50 ) of hgcl 2 and cuso 4 in caspian roach ( rutilus caspicus ) and cuso 4 in caspian kutum ( rutilus kutum ). the caspian roach lc 50 values for hgcl 2 at 24, 48, 72, and 96-hrs of exposure, were 0.64, 0.61, 0.42, and 0.28 mg l -1 , respectively, and for cuso 4 were 11.55, 5.08, 2.49, and 1.47 mg l -1 , respectively. the ...

methods in this study, 16 skilled female gymnasts (mean age of 9.62 ± 1.45 years) were randomly categorized to two general warm-up with no stretching (ns, n=8) and general warm-up plus static stretching (ss, n=8) groups. the warm-up protocol included a 10-minute jogging, and the static stretch (ss) protocol included stretching programs on the different parts of body during four weeks, three tim...

background: developmental dysplasia of hip (ddh) is a common childhood disorder, and ultrasonography examination is routinely used for screening purposes. in this study, we aimed to evaluate a modified combined static and dynamic   ultrasound technique for the detection of ddh and to compare with the results of static and dynamic ultrasound techniques.       methods: in this cross-sectional stu...

Automatic verification by means of extended static checking (ESC) has seen some success in industry and academia due to its lightweight and easy-to-use nature. Unfortunately, ESC comes at a cost: a host of logical and practical completeness and soundness issues. Interactive verification technology, on the other hand, is usually complete and sound, but requires a large amount of mathematical and...

I hope the few remarks I have to make may be the means of directing attention to this interesting, and I think veryimportant, branch of medical treatment. Electricity generally, and static electricity in particular, as an aid to recovery has received much more attention in America than in this country. Here the whole subject of its use in medicine has hardly received the attention it deserves. ...

progressive collapse is a chain reaction of failures propagating throughout a portion of the structure disproportionate to the original local failure occurring when a sudden loss of a critical load‐bearing element initiates a structural element failure, eventually resulting in partial or full collapse of the structure. both general services administration (gsa) and united states department of d...

the current building codes provide limited prescriptive guidance on design for protection of buildings due to progressive collapse. progressive collapse is a situation in which a localized failure in a structure, caused by an abnormal load, such as explosions or other happenings. three procedures, often employed for determination of the structural response during progressive collapse i.e. linea...

Load modeling is widely used in power system studies. Two types of modeling, namely, static and dynamic, are employed. The current industrial practice is the static modeling. Static modelss are algebraic equations of active and reactive power changes in terms of voltage and frequency deviations. In this paper, a component based on static modeling is employed in which the aggregate model is deri...
