this paper presents a finite element analysis and its related experimental test of corrugated steel web beams subjected to fatigue loading. a particular focus in this study was set on the fatigue failure arising from the web-to-flange welded joint of the corrugated steel web beam. a detailed three-dimensional finite element model which explicitly includes the geometry of the web-to-flange welds...

background: the human body gets fluorine from a variety of sources including food and water. this element is essential in order to prevent tooth decay. however, high concentrations of this element led to a lot of dental fluorosis and skeletal injuries. this study aimed to measure the concentration of fluoride in water and tea consumed in the city of qom. methods: the present study is cross-sect...

background: the trace element copper has been identified as a highly toxic element for sperm. it is known to affect sperm motility in humans and experimental implantation of copper in the epididymis vas deferens and scrotum of mammals has been demonstrated to affect fertility detrimentally. objective: sperm concentration motility vitality and morphology are parameters used to evaluate potential...
