Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is a highly efficient and fast process for fabricating high quality weld. High quality welds are fabricated by proper selection of consumable includes gas and filler metals. The optimum flow rate of gas will ensure the proper quality of weld. In this project, a fluid flow behavior of different flow rate is modeled and the change quality will be studied. KeywordsHydr...

Introduction: Intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) is an IORT technique in which electron beams with different nominal energies are used for irradiation of microscopic residual of tumor bed after surgery. Application of a shielding disk, which is positioned under the target volume, for protecting the normal tissues such as pectoral muscle, lung, and heart is one of the a...

Energy spectra of high-energy neutrons and neutron time-of-flight spectra were calculated for the setup of experiment T-454 performed with a NE213 liquid scintillator at the Final Focus Test Beam (FFTB) facility at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The neutrons were created by the interaction a 28.7 GeV electron beam in the aluminum beam dump of the FFTB which is housed inside a thick ste...

BACKGROUND The efficacy of dynamic anterior cervical plates is somewhat controversial. Screws in static-plate designs have a smaller diameter and can cut through bone under load. While not ideal, this unintended loosening can help mitigate stress shielding. Stand-alone interbody devices with integral fixation have large endplate contact areas that may inhibit or prevent loosening of the fixatio...

OBJECTIVE The study aims to compare the stress shielding effects of implantable anatomical and traditional prostheses after in vitro total hip joint replacement simulation. The study serves as a biomechanical basis for novel artificial prostheses and for clinical hip joint replacements. METHODS Sixteen femoral specimens from adult male corpses were randomly divided into two groups: the tradit...

We present an analysis of the spin-rotation and absolute shielding constants of XF6 molecules (X = S, Se, Te, Mo, W) based on ab initio coupled cluster and four-component relativistic density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results show that the relativistic contributions to the spin-rotation and shielding constants are large both for the heavy elements as well as for the fluorine nuc...

In this review I report evidence that the mainstream field of oxidative damage biology has been running fast in the wrong direction for more than 50 years. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and chronic oxidative changes in membrane lipids and proteins found in many chronic diseases are not the result of accidental damage. Instead, these changes are the result of a highly evolved, stereotyped, and p...

A density functional method has been used to successfully predict the isotropic 59Co nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts of the following anionic, cationic and neutral Co(III) complexes: [Co(CN)6], [Co(NH3)6], [Co(NO2)6], [Co(NH3)4CO3], Co(acac)3, and [Co(en)3]. Isotropic chemical shifts are wellreproduced by using Wachters’ cobalt basis set and uniform 6-31G* basis sets on the lig...

It is well known that the emission of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in a dipole magnets leads to increase in beam energy spread and emittance. At the Brookhaven National Laboratory Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) we study the suppression of CSR emission affect on electron beam in a dipole magnet by two vertically spaced conducting plates. The gap between the plates is controlled by four ...
