The oxidation thermodynamics of Ti-Nb alloys were studied as a step towards improving our general understanding the behavior in complex refractory for high temperature applications. Density Functional Theory (DFT) was utilized and phonon normal mode frequencies calculated via harmonic approximation to analyze stability several phases including mixed oxides function both oxygen chemical potentia...

  Background and Objectives: An increasing number of tularemia was reported in all over the world. This infection is characterized by different clinical syndromes that can be considered in differential diagnosis of infectious disease. Despite effective antibiotics against Francisella tularensis, this infection is still as one of the agent of mortality and disability among infectious disease.Th...

Fourteen adult frogs including six banded frog, Rana camerani and eight marsh frog, Rana ridibunda ridibunda were collected from two sites of Chahar Mahal-o-Bakhtiari province at the southwest of Iran and then were examined for helminth parasites. Only Dolichosaccus rastellus  (50%) was found in R. camerani, Skrjabinoeces similis (50%) and metacercarian cysts of Codonocephalus urniger (12....

Eddy current (EC) estimate of flaw size obtained from inservice inspection is often the primary means of assessing the structural integrity of steam generator tubes. Reliable prediction of failure pressure and leak rate in tubes with complex cracking requires more detailed information about the geometry and extent of degradation than is generally available from conventional bobbin coil examinat...

This study investigated the influence of site conditions on physical and morphological properties hawthorn (Crataegus azarolus L.) wood grown in Zagros forests Iran. Hawthorn is a valuable woody species Iran’s with data deficiency its properties. To our best knowledge, there no wood. Twenty-seven mature trees were randomly chosen sampled at three altitude levels (1 800–2 000, 2 000–2 200, 200–2...
