A 3D numerical model was presented to investigate the blast-induced damage characteristics of highly stressed rock mass. The RHT (Riedel, Hiermaier, and Thoma) in LS-DYNA used simulate its parameters were calibrated by a physical test. Based on model, influences confining pressure free surface span investigated. results show that under uniaxial loading, crater volume increases with increases. s...

the aim of this study was to develop an extended-release tablet formulation using a new in situ cross-linking method. the effects of polyvalent cations on theophylline release from tablets made with the polyanionic polymers sodium alginate and sodium carboxymethylcellulose, were investigated. different miliequivalents of the di and tri-valent cation, ca2+ and al3+, were added to tablet formulat...

this paper introduces an innovative partially destructive method, called “twist-off”, for the assessment of in situ concrete strength. in this method a 40mm diameter metal probe is bonded to a concrete surface by means of a high strength epoxy resin adhesive. to measure the concrete compressive strength, a torque is applied using an ordinary torque-meter and the maximum shear stress at failure ...

abstract with increasing population, mine activities for metal proceeding are also increasing, so environment will be influenced by contaminant especially heavy metals. in situ immobilization of heavy metals using inexpensive amendments is considered as a simple and cost-effective approach for reducing heavy metal contamination. in this research we used sequential extraction for assessing reduc...

background: flat urothelial lesions comprise a spectrum of morphologic changes ranging from reactive atypia to carcinoma in situ (cis). urothelial dysplasia and cis are associated with the recurrence and progression of urothelial carcinoma. distinguishing cis and dysplasia from reactive atypia based on histolopathogical features alone is often difficult. using different immunohistochemical mark...
