As the most populous country in world, China has a great shortage pressure of water resources. With acceleration urbanization, China’s usage different sectors will change significantly next few years. In order to investigate main reasons behind China, Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) model was adopted this paper from 2000 2020 with provincial data. Three effects, including that technology,...

background: light is an important and adjustable physical factor in the job environment.this study aimed to determine the intensity of natural and mixed light and also the level of ultraviolet radiation in libraries and computer sites of ilam universities in spring 2011.   methods: in this cross-sectional study, 10 libraries, 16 study saloons, and 7 computer sites were selected. luminosity asse...

BACKGROUND Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) seems to serve as an important regulatory mechanism in the growth and development of neurons in many areas of the brain.Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is related to neurogenesis and regulation of the BDNF gene and is involved in the growth and differentiation of neurons.Cortisol is released in response to stimuli such as psychological op...

In this paper, the plates made of functionally graded material (FGM) with and without a crack are numerically simulated, employing the finite element method (FEM). The material property variations are defined to be fully continuous; therefore, the elements can be as small as required. For this purpose, variations of the material properties are applied in both the integration points and in the n...

abstractbackground : in order to quantify effects of ultrasound irradiation parameters under therapeutic condition, especially sonodynamic therapy, it is initially necessary to evaluate inertial cavitation activity in vitro conditions therefore, in this study, the effect of 1 mhz low level ultrasound based on °oh radicals generated by acoustic inertial cavitation in aqueous solution was monitor...

Fatigue crack growth has been observed recently in ferroelectrics under cyclic electric loading[ Does the crack grow by electric breakdown\ or by the stress _eld near the crack tip< The present paper provides a mechanistic explanation for the electric!_eld!induced fatigue crack growth[ The non!uniform electric _eld near an insulated crack tip might cause domain switching which in turn produces ...

Local recurrence and distant metastasis frequently occur after radiation therapy for cancer and can be fatal. Evidence obtained from radiochemical and radiobiological studies has revealed these problems to be caused, at least in part, by a tumor-specific microenvironment, hypoxia. Moreover, a transcription factor, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), was identified as pivotal to hypoxia-mediated...
