Land-use and transportation are inter-related, such that land-use may be used to control transportation. This study aims to design a suitable combination of the residential and service land-use on one side, and the transportation system on the other side. The model presented in this study has two external and internal levels, and its objective is to minimize the cost of residence, receiving goods and services, and transportation. The performance of any combination of spatial allocation of population and employment, as well as transportation, is evaluated by the internal level of the model which determines the interaction between population, employment, and transportation. This is done by a... 

With Cramer’s model we have a probability measure on the power set of N. This probability measure is concentrated on the set that its elements are that subsets of N which number of their elements up to a certain natural number is asymptotically equal with the number of primes up to the same number. Let Pc be a sample obtained from this probability measure and consider 8n 2 N, an counts the number of ways that ncan be represented as a multiplication of some elements of Pc, such that changing the arrangement of factors in a representation does not introduce a new one. In this thesis, we prove that limn!1 a1++an n almost surely exists and is positive  

To deliver gas in time to different consumers like as industrial, commercial and domestic users is one of the most important parts in gas industry. So it is very important to utilize these projects in the specified time. There are huge harms for client, contractors and consumers when there is a delay in project utilization. To identify effective parameters on delays to remove them in future is an essential factor. In this research, all delay causes for TPGC (Tehran Province Gas Company) projects are analyzed and some solutions to remove these delays are presented. 10 hypotheses in relation of gas delivery have been assumed as delay causes. Then some questions have been discussed in relation... 

The human body has more than 600 muscles that cause movement. Disability and motor disorders are some of the problems that people may face due to some factors such as accident, spinal cord injuries, disorders and brain damage, and the presence of a problem in neurological commands due to stroke. One of the proposed methods for solving the problems of people with motor disorder is the use of exoskeletons to generate stimulus. Exoskeletones are electromechanical devices designed to assist human movement, and patients are used to correct their movements using specific motor patterns. Exoskeletones can also be used as an auxiliary device for carrying heavy loads. Many studies have been conducted... 

The purpose of this study was to investigate the capability of Isotopic Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) in the detection of four common natural plant frauds in saffron, namely Marigold flower, Safflower, Rubia and Saffron Style. For this purpose, first natural saffron isotopes were analyzed and used to investigate fingerprints of carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 isotopes by Elemental Analyzer Isotopic Ratio Mass Spectrometry (EA-IRMS) and carbon-13 isotopic ratio of saffron components by Gas Chromatography Isotopic Ratio Mass Spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS). Then, according to the isotopic behavior of the original saffron, they were sampled to form a mixture of saffron that is representative of the... 

In this research, we have used green tea polyphenols as green reductants for reduction of graphene oxide. Furthermore, for the first time, the presence of some metals such as iron, tungsten and copper in the efficiency of reduction is investigated. XPS spectra indicate that iron can be considered as one of the best choices for helping polyphenols in the reduction process. Hence, we used AFM, XPS, Raman spectroscopy and I-V diagram to characterize graphene oxide reduced by polyphenols and iron. In recent years, hydrazine has been recognized as one of the standard reducing agents for effective reduction of graphene oxide. In our analysis, it is found that the conductivity of our reduced... 

Antioxidants are compounds with anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-aging and anti-allergic properties. In the present study, a quantum mechanical approach has been used to shed light on the presence effect of glycoside group on the antioxidant ability of chrysin as one of the most important consumable flavonoids and two glycoside derivatives, chrysin-6-C-fucopyranoside and chrysin-3-malonyl-6-C-fucopyranoside which has electron-withdrawing group (EWG) in its C3 of glycoside group. Density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP and UB3LYP functional and split-valance 6-311++G ** basis set were used to optimize chrysin, its different derivatives, and their radicals. Analysis of...
