according to iranian code of practice for seismic resistant design of buildings standard no. 2800, yazd is located in the place with the medium earthquake hazard [1]. due to the position of yazd with many historical and important buildings, maintaining these traditional heritages is an important task in civil engineering field. on account of these mentioned valuable buildings and region potenti...

introduction: few researches have been conducted researches on the influence of the type of dental stone used for fabrication of casts on the adaptation of denture bases. the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of two types of stone casts on the accuracy of fit in complete denture bases. methods: using sixty fully replicated master casts obtained by duplicating a metal die represent...

background hyperactivity of depressor septi nasi muscle leads to smiling deformity and nasal tip depression. lateral fascicles of this muscle help in widening the nostrils. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the nasal length changes and the alar base and the alar flaring changes during smile. methods standard photographs are performed in the face and lateral view...

introduction: epidermoid tumors comprise 1% of intracranial tumors. although reported, intraosseous epidermoid tumors are even more rare. cystic lesions of the petrous apex are uncommon and surgically challenging; the most rare pathology is presumed to be epidermoid.rncase presentation: this is a case of a 61-year-old woman with a large skull-base tumor extending inferiorly from the c1-c2 artic...

we report a rare case of base of tongue tuberculosis following pulmonary tuberculosis. patient presented to us with chief complaints of sore throat and pain on swallowing for period of 3 months. on examination with 70 degree telescope, we observed an ulcer on right side of base of tongue. the edges of the ulcer appeared to be undermined with whitish slough at the centre of the ulcer. examinatio...

aneurysmal bone cyst (abc) is an expansile bone lesion that usually involves the long bones. skull base involvement is rare. hereby, we describe a 17-year-old man with hoarseness, facial asymmetry, left sided sensorineural hearing loss and left jugular foramen syndrome. ct scan and mri showed a skull base mass that was confirmed as abc in histopathology. the case was unusual and interesting due...

this paper focuses on the effects of closed- control on the calculation of the dynamic load carrying capacity (dlcc) for mobile-base flexible-link manipulators. in previously proposed methods in the literature of dlcc calculation in flexible robots, an open-loop control scheme is assumed, whereas in reality, robot control is achieved via closed loop approaches which could render the calculated ...

Hybrid control system composed of a base isolation system and a magneto-rheological damper so-called smart base isolation is one of effective semi-active control system in controlling the seismic response of structures. In this paper, a design method is proposed for designing the smart base isolation system in order to achieve an effective performance under multiple earthquakes. The base mass, ...

In this paper, the concept of {sl local base with  stratifiedstructure} in $I$-topological vector spaces is introduced. Weprove that every $I$-topological vector space has a balanced localbase with stratified structure. Furthermore, a newcharacterization of $I$-topological vector spaces by means of thelocal base with stratified structure is given.
