in civil engineering concrete is a material combined of hydraulic cement, sand, gravel and water. gravel and sand compose 60 to 70 percent of concrete. these aggregates support compression force of concrete. cement paste acts as glue to stick grain together. in bushehr factories producing aggregates do not operate according to astm standards, so that fineness modulus (fm) of the produced sands ...

Objective: Knee- ankle foot orthoses are the most commonly orthoses in the post-polio syndrome.Metal KAFOs are the most commonly prescribed orthoses in Iran. However, problems have been reported when using them, during walking. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of changes in range of motion of metal KAFO ankle joint on balance in patients with Post-polio syndrome. M...

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the association of ultrasonography findings with pain, range of motion, disability, and pressure pain threshold in patients with upper trapezius myofascial pain syndrome. Methods: A total of 60 subjects with upper trapezius myofascial pain syndrome (mean age: 25.90±4.47 y mean weight: 63.53±7.76 kg mean height: 166.55±5.65 cm and pa...

hydrochlorothiazide (hct) is a diuretic agent which is shown to be effective in the treatment of hypertension. literature reports have demonstrated that urinary excretion data may be used to assess the bioavailability of various formulations containing this thiazide. also hct consumption by the athletes is one of the drugs which should be regulated by world anti-doping agency (wada), because of...

in this thesis, phosphorus ylides [phbppy], [no2bppy] and [brbppy] have been synthesized through the formation of phosphonium salt and dihydrogenation, followed by the reaction of pd(oac)2 and the orthopalladated dinuclear complexes [pd(?-cl)(phbppy)]2, [pd(?-cl)(no2bppy)]2 and [pd(?-cl)(brbppy)]2 have been produced. the reaction of dinuclear complexes and bidentate ligands [l = bipy (2,2-bipyr...

Objective: This study was done to investigate the effect of a period of stretch training on functional dynamic balance performance and range of motion in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: the population from which the sample of the study was selected included active older men with knee osteoarthritis in West Azerbaijan. 20 active man who were paid to exercise at least twice a week, w...

Background: Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease, and the main histopathologic (pathology) tissue in the local destruction of the articular cartilage. This study was done to study the effect of eight weeks aerobic training on functional indicators and range of motion in active older men with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: Population includes active older men with knee osteoarthritis ...

Objectives: Increasing age lead to many changes in motor assignments. Impairment of motor functions in elderly ceases the individual's inability in performing everyday tasks and activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the combined training program on strength and range of motion of the elderly men. Methods & Materials: This study was quasi-experimental and participants ...
