BACKGROUND The nontherapeutic laparotomy rate in penetrating abdominal trauma remains high and the morbidity rate in these cases is approximately 40%. Selective management, rather than mandatory laparotomy, has become a popular approach in both stab wounds and gunshot wounds. The advent of spiral technology has stimulated a reassessment of the role of computed tomography (CT) in many aspects of...

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are becoming increasingly significant because they can convert solar energy into electricity. The conversion efficiency is related to the PV models’ parameters, so it crucial identify parameters of models. Recently, various metaheuristic methods have been proposed but cannot provide sufficient accurate and reliable performance. To address this problem, paper proposes a...

let $r$ be a ring and $m$ a right $r$-module with $s=end_r(m)$. a module $m$ is called semi-projective if for any epimorphism $f:mrightarrow n$, where $n$ is a submodule of $m$, and for any homomorphism $g: mrightarrow n$, there exists $h:mrightarrow m$ such that $fh=g$. in this paper, we study sgq-projective and$pi$-semi-projective modules as two generalizations of semi-projective modules. a m...

let $r$ be a commutative ring with identity and $m$ be a unitary$r$-module. the primary-like spectrum $spec_l(m)$ is thecollection of all primary-like submodules $q$ such that $m/q$ is aprimeful $r$-module. here, $m$ is defined to be rsp if $rad(q)$ isa prime submodule for all $qin spec_l(m)$. this class containsthe family of multiplication modules properly. the purpose of thispaper is to intro...

This study presents an innovative and simple way to increase the rate of heat transfer in a spiral plate heat exchanger model. Several circular cross-section rods, as continuous vortex generators, have been inserted within the spiral plate heat exchanger in the cross-stream plane. The vortex generators are located at various azimuth angles of α=30◦, 60◦, 90◦, and 120◦ with non-dimensional diame...

In the present paper, the concepts of module (uniform) approximate amenability and contractibility of Banach algebras that are modules over another Banach algebra, are introduced. The general theory is developed and some hereditary properties are given. In analogy with the Banach algebraic approximate amenability, it is shown that module approximate amenability and contractibility are the same ...
