In this study, divided into two parts, the effect on a two-dimensional backward-facing step flow (BFSF) of cylinder placed downstream was numerically investigated. While in Part 1, numerical simulations carried out without were validated using available literature data, 2 laminar regime, different Reynolds numbers considered. turbulent effects structure at horizontal and vertical locations comp...

Introduction: Marginal adaptation is the most critical item in long-term prognosis of single crowns. This study aimed to assess the marginal quality as well asthe discrepancies in marginal integrity of some PFM single crowns of posterior teeth by employing parallel radiography in Shiraz Dental School, Shiraz, Iran. Methods: In this descriptive study, parallel radiographies were taken from 200 f...

The spatial organization of single-fluid Marangoni convection in vertical cylinders with circular and elliptical horizontal cross-section is described. The convection is driven by an imposed heat flux from above and driven by Marangoni stresses at a free but undeformed surface due to temperature-dependent surface tension. The solutions and their stability characteristics are obtained using bran...

introduction: wavelet transform is one of the useful and suitable tools for time series and signal analysis. nowadays wavelet transform is frequently used in geophysical data processing and interpretation, especially seismic data. however, the use of this method isn’t widespread in gravity and geomagnetic. fedi and quarta (1998), martelet et al. (2001) and de oliveira lyrio (2004) used the wave...

the main goal of the present study is to identify characteristics of the inter-station horizontal magnetic responses and the vertical magnetic data, as two types of magnetotelluric transfer functions, in the modeling procedure. through consideration of model responses and two-dimensional inversion of synthetic data, sensitivity of the data components in detecting different geophysical structure...

Hexagrid structural system is an innovated system with structural behavior which is similar to a tubular system. In this paper, a numerical study is conducted to estimate the seismic performance of horizontal hexagrid concerning the combined horizontal and vertical hexagrid, tubular and diagrid structural systems. First 30 and 50 story buildings are modeled using ETABS, then pushover and nonlin...

this paper analyses the impact of sanctions against iran in addition to other country-specific determinants on intra-industry trade between iran and shanghai cooperation organization (sco) countries over the period 1997-2013. by disentangling total intra-industry trade (iit) into horizontal and vertical iit and after investigating bilateral trade pattern between iran and sco countries, determin...

Recently, concerning failure of structures due to earthquakes, special investigations of near fault ground motions have been noticed. Hence, in this paper, characteristics of near field ground motions have been considered in horizontal and vertical directions. In this consideration, the record averages have been compared with Uniform Building Code and Eurocode8 spectra in two levels. In additio...
