In this paper, the acoustical treatment of double-panel structures lined with poroelatic materials is predicted using analytical method in order to study the effective usage of the various boundary conditions of porous layer and to identify the effective parameters on the transmission loss of the multilayer systems. Therefore, inertia and viscous coupling along with thermal and elastic coupling...

Histological development of digestive tract of the Caspian salmon, Salmo trutta caspius, from hatching to 6 month post-hatching was studied using light microscope. The digestive tract of newly hatched larvae was a simple, undifferentiated tube which continued from mouth to anus. In 10 days post hatching larvae, the alimentary canal became more differentiated and secretion was started activity, ...

Electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy images of cholesterol-dependent cytolysins and related proteins that form large pores in lipid membranes have revealed the presence of incomplete rings, or arcs. Some evidence indicates that these arcs are inserted into the membrane and induce membrane leakage, but other experiments seem to refute that. Could such pores, only partially lined by pr...

PURPOSE Toxicity of mucosa is one of the major concerns of radiotherapy (RT), when a target tumor is located near a mucosal lined organ. Energy of photon RT is transferred primarily by secondary electrons. If these secondary electrons could be removed in an internal cavity of mucosal lined organ, the mucosa will be spared without compromising the target tumor dose. The purpose of this study was...

Blazars are currently separated into BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs) and flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) based on the strength of their emission lines. This is done rather arbitrarily by defining a diagonal line in the Ca H&K break value – equivalent width plane, following Marchã et al. We readdress this problem and put the classification scheme for blazars on firm physical grounds. We study ∼...

An analytic Green’s function is derived for a lined circular duct, both hollow and annular, containing uniform mean flow, from first principles by Fourier transformation. The derived result takes the form of a common mode series. All modes are assumed to decay in their respective direction of propagation. A more comprehensive causality analysis suggests the possibility of upstream modes being r...

When driving on lower-category Dutch rural roads without any delineation, drivers are likely to drift off the road with their right-side wheels, thus incurring damage to the pavement edge or even leading to accidents. In two experiments, two types of road-edge delineation, with continuous or dashed edge lines, were compared with two control roads without lines or with only a dashed line on the ...

After orbital exenteration for neoplasia the remaining bony socket is usually lined with skin and the deformity covered with a prosthesis; in many cases this is acceptable to the patient. However, in certain circumstances, especially in younger patients, a request for some form of reconstruction is made. In the past this has involved multistaged local or distant flaps, lined by skin grafts (Mey...
