In this project formation of MgO & Mg2Cu reinforcement particle in Magnesium matrix was investigated. Firstly Mg & CuO powders mixture in different weight percentage (4, 8%wt CuO) in 20:1 and 30:1 BPR were milled. Finally, according to XRD result 30:1 BPR was selected for milling. Variations in powders morphology, particles size, crystallite size, lattice strain and phase transformation were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and laser particle size analyzer in different milling time. Result showed that during reaction between Mg and CuO, MgO & Mg2Cu reinforcement particles were formed in matrix. Matrix crystallite size was determined about 35-40 nm. Mg-6.3%wt Cu... 

Ionizing radiation can modify physical, chemical and biological properties of the irradiated materials. At present, the principal industrial applications of radiation are sterilization of health care products including pharmaceuticals, irradiation of food and agriculture products and materials modification. In the above application the wide range of the required doses together with different product densities require spatial mechanical design of the irradiators to be able to properly handle the specified tasks. In the multipurpose irradiators the design of system and positioning of the source must be done in such a way that a nearly optimum dose distaition in the product boxes in... 

In the presence project by using of hydrophilic polymer, Cellulose acetate (CA), we tried to modify the membrane made of Polyvinylidine fluoride (PVDF). The membranes were made by phase inversion method. In five levels, at least 10% and at most 30%, CA was added to casting solution. The hydrophilicity of membranes’ surface and pore size was increased. The permeation of the neat membrane of PVDF was less than 10 , on the other hand the permeation of the membranes, which were made by adding CA, was increased up to 500 . The increment of CA more than 20% reduced the porosity of membrane. In the next step to reduce the irreversibility fouling tried to reduce the pore size by adding some... 

Early detection of diseases has always been critical, especially during the outbreak of infectious and epidemic diseases plays an essential role in controlling the spread of the disease. Finding diagnostic methods with high sensitivity, especially in the early stages of the disease, is an important challenge in the face of new diseases. periodic structures biosensors are accurate sensors and have been very popular in recent years. In this thesis, two types of sensors that are very sensitive are investigated using a circuit model. The first structure is the array of sub-wavelength apertures perforated on a PEC film. In these structures, the extraordinary transmission phenomena are used for... 

Tolerance allocation in the recent mechanical assembly is significant because it straightly affects product performance and cost. Loose tolerances may cause the quality defect while tight tolerances can increase the cost. Thermal effects and the temperature gradients are one of the factors that caused changes in the size and geometry of the components during the performance of mechanical assemblies. This thesis proposes a new approach for tolerance design considering the thermal effects, to achieve lower manufacturing cost and good product quality. Finite element analysis is used to determine the deformation of components in an assembly. The neural network is trained using experimental... 

In this thesis, we propose a method for long document modeling to address the issue of handling lengthy documents. The results indicate that our method successfully improves the problem of independently modeling chunks that arise from long documents. Additionally, we present consistent training using history augmentation to enhance the representation of questions with a long history. Our experiments demonstrate that this proposed method increases the performance of the baseline model, particularly for questions with a long history. The long document modeling approach improves the baseline's performance by 2.1% based on the F1 criteria. Furthermore, the consistent training using history... 

Increasing water consumption via competitive demands has resulted in serious water conflicts and the subsequent environmental crisis in river basins. The combined effects of climate change on river flow and growing water demand due to population growth, industrial and agricultural developments cause an increase of water scarcity in many basins. This is one of the drivers of both noncompliance with water allocation agreements and conflicts over the property rights to river water. Conflicts often arise when different water users compete for a limited water supply. Thus an integrated, sustainable, efficient and fair water allocation considering changes in water resources due to climate change... 

Economic aspects of power systems in their new structures, have been the subject of most of new publications in the area of electrical engineering after the era of restructuring. Nowadays, the power generation business is totally market driven in most of countries all around the world and the system operators are responsible for maintaining a high level of system security as well as the economic operation of the power systems. The development of wind power generation has rapidly progressed over the last decade. With the advancement in wind turbine technology, wind energy has become competitive with other fuel-based resources. The fluctuation of wind, however, makes it difficult to optimize the... 

Two new dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of N,N'-bis(5-chlorosalicylidene)-2,2'-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine and N,N'-bis(5-bromosalicylidene)-2,2'-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine as Schiff base ligands with [Mo(O)2(acac)2] in methanolic solution.and their electronic structures have been investigaged theoretically. The Schiff base ligands H2L1 and H2L2 were prepared by reaction of 5-Chlorosalicylaldehyde and 5-Bromosalicylaldehyde with 2,2'-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine, respectively. The result of these reactions, was two complexes of Mo(O)2L1 and Mo(O)2L2 .The compounds were characterized by elemental analyses (CHN), and 1HNMR and IR spectroscopic techniques....

Rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes with NN-donor ligands display promising properties for potential applications as molecular catalysts for the reduction of carbon dioxide and as biocompatible pro-drugs for the controlled release of carbon monoxide. In this context the diimine type ligands are one of the most widely used bidentate chelating moieties. In this work, several [Re(CO)3(DAB)X] complexes were prepared in a standard manner by replacement of two cis CO groups in the starting bromo- or chloro-pentacarbonylrhenium complexes with 1,4-diazabutadiene (DAB) ligands. Their pseudo-octahedral facial structures were established using FT-IR, 13C-NMR and 1H-NMR and confirmed by X-ray...
