cold roll-forming is a process in which the roll of sheet is formed by passing continuously through the set of rotary rollers without changing thickness in a cool way until it is formed to the desired profile. in this paper a parametric study on the section twist angle in roll-forming the non-symmetric channel is presented, using finite element simulation. at first finite element simulation res...

using qcd factorization for the hadronic matrix elements, we show that existing data, inparticular the branching ratios br ( b →j/ψk) and br ( b →j/ψπ), can be accounted for in this approach.we analyze the decay b j /k( ) within the framework of qcd factorization. the calculation of therelevant hard-scattering kernels for twist-2 and twist-3 is completed. we calculate this decay in a special...

In the present work an attempt has been made to study the effect of the twisted tapes as bed internals, on the performance of the gas-solid fluidized beds. Experimental investigation has been carried out in cylindrical column with and without twisted tapes. Twelve numbers of twisted tapes of three different widths with four values of the twist ratios for each width were studied at different...

this work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of tricept parallel manipulator. observing that cuboid workspaces are desirable for most machines, we use the concept of effective inscribed cuboid workspace, which reflects requirements on the workspace shape, volume and quality, simultaneously. the effectiveness of a workspace is characterized by the dexterity of the manip...

Patients with low-grade myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) show high levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and up-regulation of apoptosis in the marrow. In contrast, marrow cells in advanced MDS are typically resistant to TNFα-induced apoptosis but are rendered apoptosis-sensitive on coculture with stroma. The present studies show that CD34(+) marrow cells in advanced MDS express high levels of...

Patients with low-grade myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) show high levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF ) and upregulation of apoptosis in the marrow. In contrast, marrow cells in advanced MDS are typically resistant to TNF -induced apoptosis but are rendered apoptosissensitive on coculture with stroma. The present studies show that CD34 marrow cells in advanced MDS express high levels of TWIST,...

Mammalian tissues contain networks and ordered arrays of collagen fibrils originating from the periodic self-assembly of helical 300 nm long tropocollagen complexes. The fibril radius is typically between 25 to 250 nm, and tropocollagen at the surface appears to exhibit a characteristic twist-angle with respect to the fibril axis. Similar fibril radii and twist-angles at the surface are observe...

Twist extrusion process is a rather new route to produce highly strained materials. In this process, severe plastic deformation is applied by large shear strains. In current article, required energy for twist extrusion by use of admissible velocity field together with the upper bound technique is predicted. The proposed model is capable of considering the effect of various parameters such as di...

Ajax-driven Web applications require state to be maintained across a series of server requests related to a single Web page. This conflicts with the stateless approach used in most Web servers and makes it difficult to create modular components that use Ajax. We implemented and evaluated two approaches to managing component state: one, called reminders, stores the state on the browser, and anot...

The load-induced deformations experienced by axial-flow rotor blades can result in significant hydrodynamic impacts on operation. These changes hydrodynamics are dominated the flapwise and twist deformation components, affecting blade loading performance. This work uses blade-resolved computational fluid dynamics simulations to explore interactions of coupled deformations, their potential for u...
