Crystals of the ortho-rhom-bic phase La(4)Mo(7)O(27) (lanthanum molybdenum oxide) were obtained from a non-stoichiometric melt in the pseudo-ternary system La(2)O(3)-MoO(3)-B(2)O(3). In the crystal structure, distorted square-anti-prismatic [LaO(8)] and monocapped square-anti-prismatic [LaO(9)] polyhedra are connected via common edges and faces into chains along [010]. These chains are arranged...

We've been finding possible association of central vision damage with binocular vision disorders in our clients suffering from age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), but whose visual acuity still allowed us to examine their binocular vision. Our findings show that there is a significant number of patients with heterophoria in horizontal, as well as vertical direction. The clients rate the vis...

the bem is applied to the solution of the torsion problem of non-homogeneous anisotropic non-circular prismatic bars. the problem is formulated in terms of the warping function. this formulation leads to a second order partial differential equation with variable coefficients, subjected to a generalized neumann type boundary condition. the problem is solved using the analog equation method (aem)...

the study of flow in compound channels with vegetated floodplains is essential to assessing the development of the stage-discharge relationship and sediment and pollutant transport. the present study experimentally investigated mean flow and turbulence characteristics in a prismatic compound channel. the experimental program consisted of vegetated and non-vegetated floodplains with different re...

The scope of this study is to look at the effect supplying a non-prismatic cross-section on flexural strength one-way continuous slabs reinforced concrete (RC) with two spans under repeated load. research aims ability increase stiffness which leads saving construction costs. For purpose, experimental investigations were carried out; work consisted fabrication and testing six two-span RC same vo...
