The inability to directly observe radioactive rays, from the beginning of the discovery of these rays, led various people to seek a suitable solution to detect and recognize their properties. To this end, many detectors with different capabilities were built. On the other hand, in the electronic world, it was possible to analyze electrical pulses and extract information based on them. Therefore, some detectors were designed to convert the traces left by the entry and interaction of radioactive rays into measurable electrical pulses proportional to the properties of the incident radiation. Analysis of these pulses provides information about the properties of the incident rays. So far, a... 

At almost all frequencies, we have good methods to generate and detect electromagnetic radiations. One crucial exception is the low terahertz range,where despite intensive research there is a severe lack of proper devices for many applications in this frequency range such as oscillators and detectors that is so-called THz gap and includes 0.3 to 10 THz spectrum. There are different types of THz detectors but bandwidth of dection of most of them is narrow. Among these detectors, superconducting transition edge balometer detector has detectivity in wide frequency range. But generally, detectivity of these detectors strongly depends on their ability to absorb radiations of electromagnetic waves... 

Because of production of large volumes of Produces Water during oil exploration, it is necessary to purify this water for reuse or discharging to environment. Thus, finding a suitable method for removing contaminations seems necessary. In the present study, removal of soluble and dispersed organic contaminants from produced water by Dissolved Air Precipitation/ Solvent Sublation has been studied. Combination of floatation by dissolved air and extraction with solvent has been used for removal of organic compounds in order to study simultaneous effect of both methods on removal efficiency. Samples used in the experiments were tested in two groups: the first group was synthesized samples of... 

The spatiotemporal dynamic of salinity concentration (SC) in saline lakes is strongly dependent on the rate of water flow into the lake, water circulation, wind speed, evaporation rate, and the phenomenon of salt precipitation and dissolution. Although in-situ observations most reliably quantify water quality metrics, the spatiotemporal distribution of such data are typically limited and cannot be readily extrapolated for either long-term projections or extensive area. Alternatively, remotely sensed imagery has facilitated less expensive and a stronger ability to estimate water quality over a wide range of spatiotemporal resolutions. This study introduces an adaptive learning model that... 

Recent research suggests that the electrochemical deposition of cobalt-based binary alloys, such as cobalt-tungsten and cobalt-iron, can lead to the formation of amorphous structures in the coatings. Theoretical studies suggest that these structures are equivalent to structures created by the melt cooling of the alloy at speeds of about 〖10〗^10 Kelvin per second. The formation of a glass phase can significantly increase the abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance of these coatings. Empirical studies show that the ability of the glass to become glassy, or more precisely, the transition from crystalline to amorphous, is largely a function of the chemical composition. Simulation of... 

The existence of motor synergies in motor system as a tool for reducing degrees of freedom has been always debated. In the last two decades some experiments in vertebrates show the existence of motor primitives in spinal cord. In additional by recording electromyogram from frog some regular patterns have been shown. Recently, a motor coordination model based on stochastic optimal feedback control has extracted synergies by mathematical formulation. In addition, according to this model synergies are the optimal solution of the problem and not for simplifying it. However, this model is investigated in linear dynamics. In this thesis, first, an inverse method for extracting synergies is...
