The water percolation loss beyond root zone in the soil is one of the important parameters to determine water requirement of rice plant. If the amount of water percolation rate into the soil is estimated more carefully, determination of water requirement will be evaluated better and designing for system of irrigation, drainage and related establishments will be more easily done. The purpose of ...

statement of problem: some vertical changes might be observed during the first stage of orthodontic treatment, aligning and leveling. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate dental and/or skeletal vertical changes occurring in the first stage of preadjusted orthodontic treatment. materials and methods: fourteen patients with an average age of 14.1 years were selected for this study. prea...

damages due to northridge and kobe earthquakes were expressive of considerable effects of vertical components of earthquakes compared to the horizontal ones. on the other hand, thin steel plate shear wall is one of the newest resistant systems which until now it`s behavior haven’t been investigated under vertical component of earthquake. therefore, in this article, effects of vertical component...

background & aim: saffron (crocus sativus l.) formerly was important in turkey. saffron cultivation has been decreased and it is now only cultivated in three villages in this country. it is triploid and exclusively propagated in a vegetative way by corms. in turkey, saffron is traditionally planted by placing corms in rows randomly without grading or sorting; which results in placement of c...

There is a substantial evidence that plyometric training significantly increases muscular strength and vertical jump. Due to the vigorous nature of this type of training, however, there is a risk of incurring musculoskeletal injuries. Therefore, conducting plyometric exercise programs in an aquatic environment might lead to significant improvements in vertical jump with possibly a lower risk of...

performance of structures during recent earthquakes shows that the effect of vertical component of earthquake (vce) could be considered as one of the main causes of bridges collapse. in most of bridge design codes, for seismic analysis of bridges, vce is not taken into account or a distinguished method isn’t presented for assessment of vce. in the present work, the effect of vce on two existing...

Although, experimental studies have reported fracture at the corner of Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSW), no study has been performed to investigate the crack effect, yet. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of crack at the corner of SPSWs on the seismic behavior of the system was investigated. Two probable cracks, that have been studies at the corner of SPSWs utilizing extended Finite Element me...
