the electro-osmotic consolidation is a method to improve geotechnical properties of soft clayey soils. the feasibility of electro–osmotically induced consolidation can be examined through the soil coefficient of electro–osmotic permeability (ke) and the electro–osmotic coefficient of water transport (ki). using an electro-osmotic testing cell, ke and ki parameters were measured in urmia lake we...

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has been an extensively used tumor marker responsible for clinical early diagnosis of cervical carcinomas, and pancreatic, colorectal, gastric and lung cancer. Combined with micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) technology, it is important to develop a novel immune microelectrode array (MEA) not only for rapid analysis of serum samples, but also for cell detectio...

The aim of this study is to confirm the accuracy of sonography in the diagnosis of the carpal tunnel syndrome by measuring the cross-section area of the median nerve. A prospective study of 80 patients suspected of having carpal tunnel syndrome was underwent sonography at Al-Hussein Teaching Hospital in Samawa city from 1/1/2015 to 1/1/2016. The cross sectional area of the median nerve was meas...

Evaluation of the Academic Preparedness and Final Performance of Students of Electro-Techniques Field in Technical and Vocational Schools A.A. Khallaaghi, Ph.D. E. Ghaasemi Pooyaa, Ph.D. To determine the extent of the electro-techniques students' preparedness in order to assess their success in learning the practical skills and attitudes prescribed by the curriculum, a cluster sam...

Free vibration of a simply-supported magneto-electro-elastic doubly-curved nano-shell is studied based on the first-order shear deformation theory in the presence of the rotary inertia effect. To model the electric and magnetic behaviors of the nano-shell, Gauss’s laws for electrostatics and magneto statics are used. By using Navier’s method, the partial differential equations of motion are red...

Recently, the rapid expansion of wind energy activity has led to an increasing number of publications that deal with wind turbine health monitoring. In real practice, implementing a prognostics and health management (PHM) strategy for wind turbines is challenging. Indeed, wind turbines are complex electro-mechanical systems that often work under rapidly changing environment and operating load c...

the performance of a plug flow electrocoagulation reactor for the treatment of cattle abattoir(slaughterhouse) wastewater was investigated. a cylindrical iron reactor was operated as a cathode at arecycling batch mode while three iron rods located at the center of the reactor were used as an anode. theeffects of different parameters, including the current density, the supporting electrolyte dos...

this study aimed to determine the relationship between suturing and electro-cautery methods of post-tonsillectomy homeostasis in imam khomeini hospital- kermanshah. an analytical study was performed on admitted patient's profiles from 2002-2004. data collection sheet was applied to extract all variables. descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. during that period 915 ...

In this pilot study hypnosis was used in an attempt to provide evidence of a psychogenic component of pseudo-epileptic seizures. The criterion for psychogenesis was the reversal of the amnesia, which is often present in epileptic- and pseudo-epileptic seizures. The technique has been validated by a semi-blind referral of cases for analysis after the clinician had been able to make a firm diagno...
