EBSD and reconstruction of pre-transformation microstructures, examples and complexities in steels

Abbasi, M.,Kim, D.I.,Nelson, T.W.,Abbasi, M. Elsevier 2014 Materials characterization Vol.95 No.-

Electron backscattered diffraction has provided a quantitative tool to study micro/nano-structures in large scales. A recent application of electron backscattered diffraction is the reconstruction of pre-transformed phases in polymorphic systems, especially when there is no retained pre-transformed phase at room temperature. This capability has been demonstrated by various researchers utilizing different approaches towards grain structure and orientation recovery. However, parameters affecting reconstruction have not been investigated systematically. Factors such as post-transformed microstructures (morphology and crystallography), lattice strain (deformation), pattern and sample quality are among the affecting factors. Two-dimensional datasets of different steels have been reconstructed along with a limited 3-dimensional dataset in the current paper. Preliminary results intended for large-scale automatic reconstructions have been presented. They indicate that the successfulness of reconstruction is strongly dependent on the post-transformed microstructure. Factors such as morphology, grain size, variant selection, and deformation play roles. Few examples of reconstruction complexity at prior austenite boundaries leading to uncertain results are presented. Lastly, reconstructions are discussed in terms of meaningfulness and if they correctly represent pre-transformed grains and orientations.

Application of the GTN model to predict the forming limit diagram of IF-Steel

Mahmoud Abbasi,Mohammad A. Shafaat,Mostafa Ketabch,Davoud F. Haghshenas,Mohammad Abbasi 대한기계학회 2012 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.26 No.2

Forming limit diagrams (FLDs) are extensively used in industries, particularly the auto industry. The establishment of these diagrams using a predictive approach can lead to reduction in both cost and time. In the present work, Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN), a porosity-based model, was used to predict the FLD of an interstitial-free steel via finite element simulation. Optimum values of the GTN model were obtained by applying a response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design. Results show that RSM is a good method for an appropriate determination of the GTN model parameters, such as initial void volume fraction, effective void volume fraction, critical void volume fraction, and final void volume fraction. Furthermore, the experimental FLD of the specimen steel was considerably predicted using the obtained GTN model parameters.

Thin film graphene oxide membrane: Challenges and gas separation potential

Fateme Abbasi,Javad Karimi-Sabet,Cyrus Ghotbi,Zeinab Abbasi 한국화학공학회 2018 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.35 No.5

Graphene oxide membranes were prepared by vacuum and pressurized ultrafiltration methods on the 12% modified Polyacrylonitrile (12mPAN) substrate to specify challenges, salient features, future directions, and potential of GO membrane for separation fields using characterization techniques and gas separation test (studied gases are CO2, He and N2), which is an efficient tool for better understanding of GO membrane behavior. GO membrane structure was examined over a wide range of parameters, such as pore size range of substrate and its surface properties, pH of GO dispersion, GO content, synthesis pressure, operating pressure and temperature. The results show that the GO content does not hold a linear relationship with the permeance and selectivity. Film thickness, aggregates, synthesis pressure defects and interlayer spacing have significant effects on the gas separation performance of GO membranes which originate from the synthesis method and its conditions.

Hesa-A Down-Regulates erb/b2 Oncogene Expression and Improves Outcome of Oral Carcinoma in a Rat Model

Abbasi, Mehran Mesgari,Mehdipour, Masoumeh,Monfaredan, Amir,Jahanban-Esfahlan, Rana Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2015 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.16 No.16

Background: Oral carcinoma (OC) remains one of the most difficult malignancies to cure. Hesa-A is an Iranian herbal-marine compound that has shown promising anti-tumor properties against various human tumors. However, its mechanism of action remains to be addressed. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of two doses of Hesa-A on mRNA expression of erb$\backslash$b2 as a main prognosticator tumor marker for OC in an animal model. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups of 12 animals each. Rats in carcinoma groups received 0, 250 and 500mg/kg body weight doses of Hesa-A 3 times a day. The other two groups were considered as treated and untreated control groups. At the end of the experiment, animals were sacrificed and tongue tissues subjected to H and E staining and real time PCR. Results: Our results showed that compared to the control group, erb$\backslash$b2 was over-expressed ~ 30% in the carcinoma group. After treatment with 250mg/kg and 500mg/kg body weight of Hesa-A, erb$\backslash$b2 levels dropped by 24.1% and 3.4 % respectively compared to the control carcinoma group (p<0.01, p<0.0001). Moreover, there was a significant relation between erb$\backslash$b2 mRNA content and observed pathological changes in studied groups (p<0.05). Conclusions: These data provide insight into mechanism(s) by which Hesa-A may improve clinical outcome of oral carcinoma by affecting oncogene erb$\backslash$b2 expression and suggest Hesa-A as an effective chemotherapeutic agent in treatment of HER+tumors.

ON EIGENSHARPNESS AND ALMOST EIGENSHARPNESS OF LEXICOGRAPHIC PRODUCTS OF SOME GRAPHS

Abbasi, Ahmad,Taleshani, Mona Gholamnia Korean Mathematical Society 2022 대한수학회보 Vol.59 No.3

The minimum number of complete bipartite subgraphs needed to partition the edges of a graph G is denoted by b(G). A known lower bound on b(G) states that b(G) ≥ max{p(G), q(G)}, where p(G) and q(G) are the numbers of positive and negative eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of G, respectively. When equality is attained, G is said to be eigensharp and when b(G) = max{p(G), q(G)} + 1, G is called an almost eigensharp graph. In this paper, we investigate the eigensharpness and almost eigensharpness of lexicographic products of some graphs.

First upper limits on the radar cross section of cosmic-ray induced extensive air showers

Abbasi, R.U.,Abe, M.,Abou Bakr Othman, M.,Abu-Zayyad, T.,Allen, M.,Anderson, R.,Azuma, R.,Barcikowski, E.,Belz, J.W.,Bergman, D.R.,Besson, D.,Blake, S.A.,Byrne, M.,Cady, R.,Chae, M.J.,Cheon, B.G.,Chib North-Holland 2017 Astroparticle physics Vol.87 No.-

<P>TARA (Telescope Array Radar) is a cosmic ray radar detection experiment colocated with Telescope Array, the conventional surface scintillation detector (SD) and fluorescence telescope detector (FD) near Delta, Utah, U.S.A. The TARA detector combines a 40 kW, 54.1 MHz VHF transmitter and high-gain transmitting antenna which broadcasts the radar carrier over the SD array and within the FD field of view, towards a 250 MS/s DAQ receiver. TARA has been collecting data since 2013 with the primary goal of observing the radar signatures of extensive air showers (EAS). Simulations indicate that echoes are expected to be short in duration (similar to 10 mu s) and exhibit rapidly changing frequency, with rates on the order 1 MHz/mu s. The EAS radar cross-section (RCS) is currently unknown although it is the subject of over 70 years of speculation. A novel signal search technique is described in which the expected radar echo of a particular air shower is used as a matched filter template and compared to waveforms obtained by triggering the radar DAQ using the Telescope Array fluorescence detector. No evidence for the scattering of radio frequency radiation by EAS is obtained to date. We report the first quantitative RCS upper limits using EAS that triggered the Telescope Array Fluorescence Detector. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</P>

Abbasi, Mohammad Yahya,Khan, Sabahat Ali,Basar, Abul Department of Mathematics 2017 Kyungpook mathematical journal Vol.57 No.4

In this paper, we introduce generalised quasi-ideals in ordered ternary semigroups. Also, we define ordered m-right ideals, ordered (p, q)-lateral ideals and ordered n-left ideals in ordered ternary semigroups and studied the relation between them. Some intersection properties of ordered (m,(p, q), n)-quasi ideals are examined. We also characterize these notions in terms of minimal ordered (m,(p, q), n)-quasi-ideals in ordered ternary semigroups. Moreover, m-right simple, (p, q)-lateral simple, n-left simple, and (m,(p, q), n)-quasi simple ordered ternary semigroups are defined and some properties of them are studied.
