In this paper, nonlinear dynamic behaviour of the carbon nanotube conveying fluid in slip boundary conditions is studied using the variation iteration method. The developed solutions are used to investigate the effects of various parameters on the nonlinear vibration of the nanotube. The results indicate that an increase in the slip parameter leads to a decrease in the frequency of vibration an...

background: to determine whether islamic fasting would change cerebral blood flow during ramadan. methods: the study group comprised 20 subjects (16 males and 4 females) on a regimen of 1 month food and water intake restriction, according to islamic fasting ritual. subjects were evaluated for cerebral bolo flow through a middle cerebral artery (mca) by means of transcranial doppler (tcd), the d...

BACKGROUND This study was designed to determine the minimal mean flow velocity and pressure-flow relation necessary to preserve human consciousness. METHODS Passive upright tilt provocation was used in conjunction with transcranial Doppler in 80 patients with a history of syncope of unknown etiology. Cerebral blood flow velocity, blood pressure, and heart rate were monitored noninvasively. ...

abstract weirs are the most common structures for discharge measurement in engineering research. streamline curvature, non hydrostatic pressure distribution on weir and nappe adherence to the weir lead to differences between calculated and measured discharges. thus discharge coefficient, which is the ratio of real and theoretic discharges, is usually less than unity. in circular weirs the press...

suspension system is one of the most important factors in provision of ride comfort and dynamic stability in any vehicle. meanwhile the suspension systems of tracked vehicles, due to their continuous track, have particular specification in comparison with other vehicles. this specification causes tracked vehicles having an improved dynamic stability in off-road maneuvers compared to vehicles wi...

introduction : cerebral autoregulation (ca) and mean cerebral blood flow velocity in males and females are still under controversy. the present study was scheduled to address the effect of sex on these parameters. materials and methods : the present study was interventional and performed on 30 healthy volunteers (15 males aging from 20-30 yrs and mean age of 23.9±3 years old and 15 females agin...

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of slip velocity and shape of stenosis on non-Newtonian flow of blood through a stenosed arterial segment. Blood is modeled as Bingham-Plastic fluid in a uniform circular tube with a radially non-symmetric stenosis. The problem is investigated by a joint effort of analytical and numerical techniques. The influence of stenosis shape parameter, slip ve...

Introduction: Nitroglycerin is a fast-acting drug that rapidly dilates coronary arteries and thus increases blood flow to these vessels, and increases the blood flow through the lateral vessels to low blood areas. It also reduces both end diastolic pressure and volume of the left ventricular. However, the effect of nitroglycerin on the circulation hemodynamic is not known. Caro...
