pink floyd was a british band whose work began in the late 60s. roger waters, the main contributor of the band, wrote almost all the lyrics and was also a main figure behind producing the motion picture of the album. he deliberately attacks western media in both the lyrics he has written for the band and his solo projects. the present study finds this tendency of assaulting the media deeply roo...

advanced technologies in molecular biology and modern experimental biophysics heavily rely not only on the knowledge of structure of essential proteins but also on their structural dynamics. the function of these bimolecular systems and the pathways along which the biological phenomena take place can be determined based on the knowledge of the molecular structure and behavior. as such, the simp...

this paper was aimed to report the 3d finite element analysis simulation of laser welding process of ti6al4v 1.7 mm sheets in butt joint in order to predict the temperature distribution, hardness, and weld geometry. the butt-joint welds were made using co2 laser with the maximum power of 2.2 kw in the continuous wave mode. a part of the experimental work was carried out to verify the weld geome...

in previous studies we first concentrated on utilizing crisp simulationto produce discrete event fuzzy systems simulations. then we extendedthis research to the simulation of continuous fuzzy systems models. in this paperwe continue our study of continuous fuzzy systems using crisp continuoussimulation. consider a crisp continuous system whose evolution depends ondifferential equations. such a ...

an efficient flood alarm system may significantly improve public safety and mitigate damages caused by inundation. flood forecasting is undoubtedly a challenging field of operational hydrology and a huge literature has been developed over the years. in this paper, we first define ordered ideal intuitionistic fuzzy sets and establish some results on them. then, we define similarity measures betw...

One of the great challenges in the processing of materials using Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) is the high forming forces required to produce large shear deformation in the material. Researchers show that the friction forces between the die and the sample constitute a great part of the total forming forces. Recently, ultrasonic vibrations are successfully implemented into the ECAP proce...

introduction: to improve laser hair removal (lhr) for dark skin, the fluence rate reaching the hair follicle in lhr is important. this paper presents the results of a comparative study examining the function of wavelength on dark skin types using 755 nm alexandrite and 810 nm diode lasers. methods: the structure of the skin was created using a realistic skin model by the advanced systems analys...

cold rolling process of a major transformation in the form of sheet metal and a wide range of steel products are produced in this way. elastic deformation during cold rolling working rollers and the inevitable increase in the rolling force. in this study, the effect of elastic deformation during cold rolling mill rollers working on the reciprocating back and forth in tandem with the presence of...

in this study, an extended stress-based forming limit diagram (fld) for prediction of necking based on the marciniak and kucznski (m-k) model is represented and applied in tube hydroforming. the bulge forming of a straight tube is simulated by finite element method and verified with published experimental data. this adaptive simulation technique is based on the ability to detect the onset and g...

the models oryza2000, swap and wofost simulate the growth and development of rice under conditions of potential production and water limitation. the models were evaluated against a data set of field experiments. the study was laid out in rcbd with three replications for one traditional landrace, hashemi, carried out in 2005 at the rice research institute of iran in rasht. the irrigation managem...
