what to look for in abbas abad pool? a lake in middle of the forest on the mountain heights with an encircled building with waters and a garden ashore? why are the trees cut and used to build a garden? and what is the purpose of placing a lake on a dominant and deep valley over the khazar sea. today, green trees are grown in abbas abad garden and no sign of landscaping or water features can be ...

For linearly elastic heterogeneous solids, averaging theorems are developed by Nemat-Nasser and Hori (S. Nemat-Nasser, M. Hori, Micromechanics: Overall Properties of Heterogeneous Solids, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1993; and S. Nemat-Nasser, M. Hori, J. Eng. Mater. Technol. 117 (1995) 412), using a multi-inclusion model. This model is based on the observation that the average strain and stress in any...

Patients with uncomplicated acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) can generally be treated with conservative medical management. However, these patients may develop aortic enlargement during follow-up, with the risk of rupture. Several predictors have been studied in recent years to identify ABAD patients at high risk of aortic enlargement, who may benefit from early surgical or endovascular in...

Sir, Acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) is a life-threatening vascular emergency with an incidence estimated at 5-30 per 1 million people per year.[1] Available evidence support endovascular and surgical treatment for ABAD complicated by shock or organ damage. In uncomplicated ABAD, benefits of endovascular treatment are not well established and the preferred management mandates close clinic...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a conformational disease that is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition in the brain. Aβ exerts its toxicity in part by receptor-mediated interactions that cause down-stream protein misfolding and aggregation, as well as mitochondrial dysfunction. Recent reports indicate that Aβ may also interact directly with intracellular proteins such as the mitochondrial enzy...

There are varieties of techniques for calculating natural frequency of the structures. Nevertheless, these equations are less developed in the geotechnical structures such as slopes, buttress group, dams, and retaining walls. In earth dams, with respecting to the dimensions and weight of dam, soil-structure interaction is of prime importance for finding seismic parameters including natural freq...

seepage analysis through earth dams is employed to determine the water loss. moreover, as the magnitude of pore pressure in dam body is calculated using seepage analysis, this analysis plays an important role on the stability analysis in these types of structures. as the hydraulic conductivity of the earth dam materials, is considered as one of the effective parameters on the magnitude of seepa...
