In this study, a novel and very simple finite element procedure is presented for free vibration and buckling analysis of slim beam-like structures damaged by edge cracks. A cracked region of a beam is modeled using a very short element with reduced second moment of area (I). For computing reduced I in a cracked region, the elementary theory of bending of beams and local flexibility approach are...

We investigated the diagnostic significance of IL-6 for lymph node metastasis and/or hepatic metastasis from colorectal cancer in 65 patients and evaluated the contributions of 8 factors (IL-6, HGF, IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, TGF-beta1, ELAM-1, ICAM-1, VCAM-1) toward Dukes.s classification of 53 patients. We also examined IL-6 expression in tumor tissue. From the receiver operating characteristic (RO...

like the adjacent areas including savojbolagh and tehran plain etc, taleghan is one of the regions susceptible to form iron age settlements at northern central part of iranian plateau. during an archaeological survey in this region in 2001, 19 zones were attributed to iron age region so that due to study on the findings resulting from this survey again, only ten of them included characteristic ...

Structural analysis of remotely sensed data provides a method of assessing the structural significance of regional metallogenesis in the Dehaj area as the northwestern part of the Kerman porphyry Cu belt. This belt is consisted of dominant Eocene volcanics and the Dehaj type subvolcanic intrusives. In the study area, geologically, Cu-mineralization is hosted by the Kuh-e-Panj type subvolcanic i...

upper devonian sediments of the kuh-e zard area northwest of zefreh, central iran, arecomposed mainly of brown and grey limestones with sandstone and shale intercalations. they contain tracefossils such as chondrites isp., diplocraterion parallelum, fustiglyphus annulatus, lockeia isp., phycodesisp., and taenidium barretti. these trace fossils indicate a shallow marine environment
