Lead is one of the persistent agents found extensively in the environment and has destructive impacts on the tissues. Regarding the high spread of lead, particularly in Iran, we investigated the effects of lead acetate II on the expression level of osteocalcin gene and histological changes of bone. 40 chickens were randomly divided into four groups. As well as the libitum, the control group was...

In this research a final element model for simulating three dimensional deformation in rolling of flat product is modeling in ABAQUS and further developed to study the frictional effects on spread and bulge. To predict the magnitude of bulging , the rolling process is approximated by successive forging steps. The elongation or the average spread at each step from the previous calculations are u...

During the establishment phase of a biological invasion, population dynamics are strongly influenced by Allee effects and stochastic dynamics, both of which may lead to extinction of low-density populations. Allee effects refer to a decline in population growth rate with a decline in abundance and can arise from various mechanisms. Strategies to eradicate newly established populations should fo...
