Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleCrack Growth in Concrete Gravity Dams Based on Discrete Crack MethodA.R. Lohrasbi, R. AttarnejadSeepage is the most parameter in water management safety and in stable agricultural. This seepage is passed through the cracks that are present to some degree in hydraulic structures. They may exist as basic defects in the constituent materials or may be induced in construction or during service life. To avoid such failure in concrete dams, safety would be an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,078 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNon-Singular Thermodynamic GravityPharis E. WilliamsNewton formed his laws of motion, but still had to assume a law of gravity in order to determine the motions of bodies interacting through gravitational forces. Newton gave a prescription of how to find the dynamics produced by gravity. Einstein sought to determine the motions of gravity without using a force. Rather, he sought a system of equations by … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 23 Dec 2013 · 7,651 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Leptospirosis on the Concentrations of Streptomycin in Liver and Kidneys of PigsLabrini V. Athanasiou, Vassilios Papatsiros, George Valiakos et al.Leptospirosis is a re-emerging infectious disease with zoonotic potential. Pigs are reservoir hosts of the pathogen and streptomycin is among the antibiotics proposed to eliminate leptospiral infection. The purpose of this study was to determine streptomycin concentrations and the possible effect of the presence of Leptospira in the liver and kidneys on drug distribution. Six pigs with leptospirosis and six … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2013 · 7,485 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariation in the Thickness of A Fluid Interface Due to Internal Wave Propagation: A Lattice Boltzmann SimulationJ.M. Buick, D.B. Hann, J.A. CosgroveThe change in the thickness of an interface between two immiscible fluids due to the propagation of an internal capillary-gravity wave along the interface is considered using a Bhatnagar, Gross and Krook (BGK) lattice Boltzmann model of a binary of fluid. The vertical thickness of the interface is recorded from the simulations since this is the most easily measured quantities … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 7,248 accessesView PDF Cite
