the objective of the present study is the synthesis of mwcnt-tio2 hybrid nanostructures by solvothermal synthesis method with ticl4 as precursor. the heat transfer enhancement due to the use of mwcnt-tio2 nanofluid was investigated. as-prepared hybrid materials were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the results showed that mwcnts were uniformly dec...

mass vaccination against viral infections such as mumps is a very noticeable and appropriate attempt in common health. mumps infection has severe complications like deafness, infertility and meningitis. attenuated live vaccine of mumps is produced and used to prevent the problems. viral content in the monovalent vaccine is assayed with different methods. nowadays international standards introdu...

objective(s) studies have shown that morphine, in addition to its analgesic properties, has several effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis. there is also evidence that opioid receptors are present on chondrocytes. our main objective in the present study was to investigate the effects of morphine on rat femur growth cartilage. materials and methods this research was carried out on 18 4-week...

License plate recognition (LPR) has many applications in traffic monitoring systems. In this paper, a vertical edge matching based algorithm to recognize Korean license plate from input gray-scale image is proposed. The algorithm is able to recognize license plates in normal shape, as well as plates that are out of shape due to the angle of view. The proposed algorithm is fast enough, the recog...

The equal division of chromosomes among daughter cells at mitosis involves a complex series of kinetochore-dependent chromosome movements. The kinetochore-associated CENP-E motor protein is critical for the sustained movement of chromosomes towards the metaphase plate during chromosome congression.

in this research, the buckling and bending behaviour of smart nanocomposite plate reinforced by single- walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) under electro-magneto-mechanical loadings is studied. the extended mixture rule approach is used to determine the elastic properties of nanocomposite plate. equilibrium equations of smart nanocomposite plate are derived using the hamilton’s principle based on ...

objective: results obtained from literature reviews and human studies have shown the analgesic effects of clove plant in toothache. the present work was undertaken in order to investigate the possible analgesic effect of clove oil in mice. materials and methods: fifty mice were divided into 5 groups: 1) saline; 2) essential oil (ess) 2%, 3) ess 5%, 4) ess10% and 5) ess 20%. the hot plate test (...

in recent years, more attention is paid to stainless steel 316l as fracture plate and fixation in human's body. present studies are focused on surface and metallurgical properties of this material. biocompatibelity of this material and its superior mechanical properties has made it the most demanded biomaterial. in this research, four different implants are investigated in three stages. four co...

some small gabbro patches emplaced along the thrust fault with w-e trend in the vicinity of maien bolagh village at the ht/mp metapelites, a part of the central iran zone (near to sanandaj-sirjan zone). the coarse-grained dark gabbro samples consist of amphibole, clinopyroxene, plagioclase, minor quartz, titanite, and biotite. gabbros have high potassic calc-alkaline to shoshonitic affinity. th...
