An Analytical Model of the Power Law Distributions in the Complex Network
(2012-08)
It is known that complex networks in nature exhibit some significant statistical features. We notice power law distributions
which frequently emerge with respect to network structures of various quantities. One example ...
Numerical Investigation of Flow Structure Interaction Coupling Effects in Hard Disk Drives
(2012-02)
This paper studies the flow structural interaction (FSI) within a hard disk drive (HDD) through the use of a novel coupling
method. The interaction studied was the fluid induced vibration in the HDD. A two step coupling ...
The Mesoscopic Constitutive Equations for Polymeric Fluids and Some Examples of Viscometric Flows
(2012-02)
Constitutive equations for melts and concentrated solutions of linear polymers are derived as consequences of dynamics
of a separate macromolecule. The model is investigated for viscometric flows. It was shown that the ...
A Fatigue Analysis of a Hydraulic Francis Turbine Runner
(2012-02)
In this work, the estimation of crack initiation life of a hydraulic Francis turbine runner is presented. The life prediction
is based on the local strain approach to predict the initiation life. First, the analysis is ...
Detecting Ultra-Violet Radiation by Using Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles
(Scientific Research, 2012-07)
In this paper sensitivity of chemically synthesized titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles to ultra-violet (UV) radiation is
investigated. For this purpose three types of ultra-violet photodetectors were fabricated, one ...
The Risk Factors of Intensive Care Unit Admittance during First Attack of Acute Pancreatitis
(Scientific Research, 2012-12)
Background: A proportion of patients with acute pancreatitis develop severe organ dysfunction requiring admittance in
an intensive care unit. Patient characteristics associated with ICU admittance were evaluated in this ...
The ATPase activity of molecular chaperone HSP60 is inhibited by immunosuppressant mizoribine
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-04)
The molecular chaperone HSP60 is a chaperonin homolog of GroEL. We had previously shown that the immunosuppressant mizoribine is bound directly to HSP60 and inhibited its chaperone activity. However, the inhibitory mechanisms ...
Somaclonal variations of Soybeans (Glycine Max. L. Merr) stimulated by drought stress based on random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs)
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-01)
In soybeans, drought stress causes 50% yield losses. Breeding for drought tolerance in soybeans has been widely developed using various methods, among which is polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) induction to simulate drought ...
Mutated elements of a complex promoter (Amh) can help to demonstrate the role of certain elements in controlling differential gene expression
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2012-10)
Amh is a single copy gene which is expressed in different ways during mammalian development. Several potential promoter elements have been identified using physiological experimentation and on the basis of interspecific ...
Oxidized phospholipids modify plasminogen and apolipoprotein(a): Implications for vascular disease
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-04)
Whereas the close structural homology between human plasminogen and apolipoprotein(a) has been known for a number of years only recent studies have revealed that both proteins carry linked oxidized phospholipids that may ...
