the natural frequencies and mode shapes of pneumatic tires are predicted using a geometrically accurate, three-dimensional finite element modeling. tire rubber materials and cord layers are represented independently using “shell element” available in cosmos. the effects of some physical parameters such as the inflation pressure tread pattern, thickness of belts and ply angles to the natural fre...

celiac disease is the inability of the small intestine to tolerate some cereal prolamin with sequence specific oligopeptide. wheat gliadin, rye secalins and barley hordenine are the main proteins involved in the disease mechanisms and may provoke an inflammatory process to damage the small intestine. there are different methods to overcome the problems for such patients one of them is using glu...

background: breast cancer arising in young patients (≤ 40 years) is being considered as a distinct clinical entity with more aggressive tumor features and poorer survival. our aim was to assess the impact of age on survival among a large group of iranian women diagnosed with breast cancer. methods: in a cross-sectional study, demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of patients with ...

reactions of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ros) with biological molecules in vivo play an important physiological role in many diseases. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) is a stable free radical and often used as a routine reagent to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of an antioxidant. this study was undertaken to investigate the free radical-scavenging and antioxidant activiti...

the effect of a distributed patch mass on the natural frequency of vibration of a laminated rectangular plate with simply supported boundaries is investigated. the third order displacement field of a composite laminated rectangular plate is defined using the two variable refined plate theory. equations of motion of the plate are obtained with the help of calculus of variation. parametric study ...

background & aim: essential oils are isolated from different sections of plants such as flowers, seeds, leaves, stems and roots. essential oils are applied extensively in producing of perfumes, cosmetics, foods, beverages and confectioneries and as ingredients of disinfectants and insecticides. experimental: essential oil are obtained by several isolation methods, such as hydrodistillation ...

this study aims at investigating voices in the persian translation of katherine mansfield's the garden party. in so doing, after a stylistic analysis of the voices in the original is done, it is argued by the authors that the polyphonous nature of the story is to a great extent due to the deployment of various sociolects in the story as well as the choice of free indirect discourse (fid) as the...

a new system is presented for the generation ofrecombinant bacillus subtilis strains without antibioticmarkers. this system is based on two plasmids constructed in escherichia coli. the first plasmid phm30contains an incomplete hisi gene, the last gene in thehistidine biosynthesis operon of b. subtilis and part ofthe genes yvca and yvcb of unkown function flankinghisi at the 3´-end. the spectin...
