with the prolonged use of domestic centrifugal pump, due to erosion, corrosion and an unbalance the sever vibration of the pump are resulted. an erratic sound coming out of pump makes the user uncomfortable. here, tuned vibration absorber (tva) is used as a vibration controlling device. it is designed to reduce the rms velocity below 20% of the circumferential speed, at which the impeller is ba...

abstract for seismic design, it is important to estimate the, maximum lateral displacement (inelastic displacement) of the structures due to earthquakes for several reasons. seismic design provisions estimate the maximum roof and storey drifts occurring in major earthquakes by amplifying the roof displacement and drifts of the structures obtained by elastic analysis subjected to seismic design ...

background: genes for human epidermal growth factor receptors b1 (erbb1) and b2 (erbb2) were amplified in breast and ovarian cancers. both of them were associated with aggressive disease and worse prognosis. the erbb1 or erbb2 status of a tumor may provide an indication of the response to erbb1 and erbb2 -targeted therapies. for accurate and rapid assessment of amplification of erbb1 and erbb2 ...

In this paper, the spectral ratio of mmicrotremor, HSVR, is presented for estimating the liquefaction potential of layered soil in the coastal area of the Persian Gulf, which consists of a hard sandstone layer situated between two saturated sandy layers. The surface layer is thin, with a thickness between 2 and 5 meters. The purpose of this paper is to identify the relation between the liquefac...

Background & Objective: In Triple-Negative Breast Cancers (TNBCs), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2/neu genes are not expressed. Fibroblastic Growth Factor Receptor-1 (FGFR1) gene product is a protein that acts as a receptor of thyrosin kinase. It plays a role in the proliferation, differentiation, and migration of malignant cells. The objective was t...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Epidermal growth factor receptor amplification is a common molecular event in glioblastomas. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential usefulness of morphologic and diffusion MR imaging signs in the prediction of epidermal growth factor receptor gene amplification status in patients with glioblastoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed pretreatment MR imagin...

The clotting cascade plays an essential role in hemostasis but also contributes to many pathological processes, such as thrombosis. The cascade can be divided into 2 major phases: initiation and amplification (Figure). The initiation phase is triggered by the tissue factor/factor VIIa complex (known as the extrinsic pathway) and generates small amounts of thrombin that activates cofactors (FVII...
