However, ther...

introduction: many studies have been performed to evaluate the stress distribution around endodontic posts; those which compared posts composed of different materials are rare. the aim of this study was to compare stresses induced in dentin by three structurally different posts using photoelasticity method. materials and methods: nine blocks of psm-5 photoelastic material with 45×45×10 mm dimen...

Brown alga Ectocarpus sp. belongs to Phaeophyceae, a class of macroalgae that evolved complex multicellularity. is dominant seaweed in temperate regions, abundant mostly the intertidal zones, an environment with high levels abiotic stresses. Previous transcriptomic analysis revealed several genes consistently induced by various stresses; one these Esi0017_0056, which encodes protein unknown fun...

background: analysis of many proteins produced during the transition into the stationary phase and under stress conditions (including starvation stress) demonstrated that a number of novel proteins were induced in common to each stress and could be the reason for cross-protection in bacterial cells. it is necessary to investigate the synthesis of these proteins during different stress condition...

The mechanical effects of alkali–silica reaction (ASR) have to be modeled in order to assess the deterioration level and the stability of ASRdamaged concrete structures. Several experimental programs have shown the effects of compressive stresses on ASR-induced strains. The effect is so significant that assessment models have to take into account the modification of ASR expansions due to applie...

Seismic-induced pore pressure and effective stresses in the saturated porous seabed under seismic loading are the main factors that govern the overall stability of submarine pipelines. In most of the previous investigations for the seismic-induced dynamic response around a submarine pipeline have been limited to two-dimension cases. In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model includ...

Titanium and nickel alloys represent a significant metal portion of the aircraft structural and en components and the residual stresses induced by machining are very critical due to safety sustainability concerns. This paper presents experimental investigations and finite element simulat on turning of Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy and IN100 nickel based alloy with uncoated and TiAlN co tools. Face t...

Misfolded protein aggregation in mammalian cells is one of the cellular responses to environmental stresses. However, the aggregation of misfolded proteins in plant cells exposed to environmental stresses is still poorly understood. Here, we report the misfolded protein aggregation in plant cells in response to environmental stresses, including ultraviolet (UV) radiation, heat stress and cold s...

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between psychological stresses and noise stresses on printery workers in Tehran, Iran. Hence, 267 workers were randomly selected. The Leq and Lmax were measured and the psychological stresses such as depression, anxiety, aggression and job satisfaction were also studied by the relevant questionnaires. The data were statistically analyzed ...
