The aim of this study was to determine the effects of appearance-related surgery on psychosocial functioning during adolescence. To this end, changes in bodily attitudes and appearance-related burdens in adolescents undergoing corrective (for aesthetic deformities) and reconstructive (for congenital or acquired deformities) surgery were compared with those in a general population sample.A group...

In this study, molecular dynamics simulation is adopted to investigate the friction and wear mechanism of Fe-based amorphous composited coatings. It was found that ceramic phase can improve plasticity composite coatings reduce wear. addition, when Al 2 O 3 content 15 wt%, due stress concentration between phase, viscosity flow in results plastic deformation. Through this, best resistance has bee...

In this study, the effects of blast furnace slag (BFS) and calcite on rheological properties self-compacting concrete (SSC) in meso macro scales were investigated. During preparation replicate samples, while BFS was replaced with cement at rate 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% by weight, added to 15%, 25% weight. The (plastic viscosity yield point) mini-slump flow values paste prepared determined. fresh cons...

This study investigates the use of an ionic liquid obtained from fatty acids (FAIL) as additive at 2 wt.% in two different base oils: a mineral oil (M1) and polyol ester (E1). Physicochemical characterization oil–FAIL blends confirmed miscibility FAIL oils. The addition hardly changed density oils viscosity slightly increased lower temperatures. tribological performance their with was determine...

abstract statement of problem: the viscosity of orthodontics adhesive primers is crucial for stability and correct brackets ‘position during bond up. an excessive adhesive flow during brackets seating could change the brackets’ position. objectives: the main purpose of this study was to investigate the viscosity of four orthodontic adhesive primers in two different temperatures. materials and m...

mold powders used in the continuous casting of steel contain the harmful caf2 as a main substance developing toxic gases such as sif4 and hf at elevated temperatures. in this study, three samples of i1, i2 and i3, which contained gypsum free portland cement clinker with different percentages of fe2o3 (5.68, 6.83, 8.02 ) and f- (2.09, 1.06, 0), were prepared and their main characteristics were c...

in this work, artificial neural network (ann) was utilized to develop a new model for the predictionof the kinematic viscosity of petroleum fractions. this model was generated as a function oftemperature (t), normal boiling point temperature (tb), and specific gravity (s). in order to developthe new model, different architectures of feed-forward type were examined. finally, the optimumstructure...
