To solve crack problems, some coupled methods have been developed in recent years. Most of these methods have some shortcomings such as the need for a transition region. The finite element and enriched element free Galerkin methods are widely used for this class of problems. In order to take the advantages of these methods while avoiding the disadvantages, it is essential to follow solution app...

To identify the proteins induced by Fe deficiency, we have compared the proteins of Fe-sufficient and Fe-deficient barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) roots by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Peptide sequence analysis of induced proteins revealed that formate dehydrogenase (FDH), adenine phosphoribosyltransferase, and the lds3 gene product (for Fe deficiency-specific) increased in F...

A low-valent trinuclear iron complex with an unusual linear Fe(I)-Fe(II)-Fe(I) unit is presented. It is accessed in a rational approach using a salt metathesis reaction between a new anionic Fe(I) containing heterocycle and FeCl2. Its electronic structure was studied by single crystal XRD analysis, EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements.

cotton (gossypium hirsutum l. cv. varamin ) an important industrial crop of iran, is grown in 300,000 ha, with an average seed -cotton yield of 1750 kg.ha-1. the main obstacle in the way of increasing average cotton yield is imbalanced fertilizer use. along with urea and triple super phosphate, cotton growers also need k, mg, zn, fe, mn, cu, and b, so these elements’ critical levels should ...

mono and bis hexamethylenetetramine iron(iii) chloride, fe(n c ,h ) ci (i) and fe(n c ,h ) cl (ii) were synthesized by the reaction of iron(iii) chloride and hexamethylenetetramine (hmta) in chloroform. chemical analysis and spectral results show the coordination of hmta to the iron(iii). electronic transition spectra of compound i and i1 were also studied in coordinating and noncoordinating so...

In the unicellular green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, high-affinity uptake of iron (Fe) requires an Fe(3+)-chelate reductase and an Fe transporter. Neither of these proteins nor their corresponding genes have been isolated. We previously identified, by analysis of differentially expressed plasma membrane proteins, an approximately 150-kD protein whose synthesis was induced under conditions ...

A 3D finite element (FE) analysis technique using ABAQUS is chosen to explore the dynamic behavior of a beam under impact load. A beam, for which the impact dynamic test was conducted by Kishi (2004), is selected to develop a solid element FE model. FE analyses were performed implementing ABAQUS Explicit (2004) programming tool to predict the dynamic responses under the pressure amplitude intro...

This paper is concerned with the development of an optimal design system using FE (Finite Element) package as the analysis engine. There are four main challenges when designing and implementing the system including execution of FE package, extraction of the FE analysis results, modification of the FE model, and linking of function evaluation of an optimal design problem with the FE analysis res...

In this study, we couple iron isotope analysis to microscopic and mineralogical investigation of iron speciation during circumneutral Fe(II) oxidation and Fe(III) precipitation with photosynthetically produced oxygen. In the presence of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus PCC 7002, aqueous Fe(II) (Fe(II)aq) is oxidized and precipitated as amorphous Fe(III) oxyhydroxide minerals (iron precipitates,...

Nano-powders of diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn1-xFexO (0.0≤ x ≤0.1) were prepared via the sol-gel auto-combustion method. Crystal structure and phase identification carried out by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. Mean crystallite size of the powders was estimated by Scherrer's formula. As M-H loops of the Fe substituted ZnO showed ferromagnetic behavior. The result...
