In 2009, a general equation of state (EOS-III) based on an effective near-neighbor pair interaction of an extended Lennard-Jones (3, 6, 12) type has been introduced as : , where is the compressibility factor, p and ρ stand for pressure and molar density , respectively, T is Temperature , and e, f and g are the temperature dependent coefficient of the equation of state . the Z_th and Z_in are the thermal and internal contributions of pressure in the compressibility factor, respectively. this equation of state gives a good description of all types of nano- and bulk –solid and bulk fluid at entire temperature and pressure ranges for which thee is experimental data. Investigation show that... 

Nowadays, a large proportion of the power consumption in high-performance multi-processor architectures on chip belongs to connections. Reducing power consumption while maintaining high efficiency in these architectures is one of the main concerns. Networks on Chip (NoC) originally were introduced to improve efficiency, but now, given the importance of power, we must provide some solutions to reduce power consumption, and delay in NOCs. Connections in chip can be divided into three categories: global, intermediate and local, while the length of global connections is almost constant in different scales, local connections are scalable. As a result improving efficiency of a small number of... 

In the present research, a series of bimacrocyclic tweezer anchored through azobenzene moiety were synthesized and characterized by applying IR spectroscopy, 1H and 13C{1H} NMR, fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis and in some cases by X-ray crystallography. Firstly, UV-visible spectroscopy established that the irradiation of the tweezers with UV light promoted the trans to cis isomerization. On the other hand, thermal cis-trans isomerization behavior of the azobenzene moiety in tweezers was surveyed in which the cis isomers were formed of the heating at 50 oC for 5 minutes. Where the -OH group was replaced with 4-toluenesulfonyl... 

Different definitions of the term ‘subjective well-being’ have been defined by different researchers. While there is no definite definition for this concept, it can be related to one's life evaluation. The issue of citizens’ subjective well-being has not usually been considered in transportation policies, such as reducing single occupancy vehicle. However, subjective well-being reflects the individuals’ quality of life and can be one of the main priorities of any society. This study tries to find the effect of using various modes of travel including passenger car, motorcycle, public transportation and walking on citizens' subjective well-being. Subjective well-being is measured by... 

The rise in carbon dioxide levels has led to the manifestation of numerous environmental challenges. Currently, the absorption and conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable fuel resources such as synthetic gas, methane, and ethylene are deemed crucial from both environmental and economic standpoints. Despite the presentation of photocatalysts such as titanium oxide and electrocatalysts such as copper, silver, and zinc, their efficiency in CO2 conversion is found to be insufficient. One potential solution to this problem is the utilization of photoelectrocatalytic CO2 recovery. In this study, the aim was to enhance the photoelectrocatalytic reduction of CO2 by designing and manufacturing... 

Biological layers are one of the main problems related to water transfer with pipe lines which are formed through time in the inner surface of the pipes by the water nutrients. Hence, the inner surfaces in the pipe lines and water refineries should be made in order not to let these biological layers to be made. The reason is that when the biofilm is formed on these surfaces, the traversing water is polluted. Dredging of these pipes is not only necessary in most of the countries in the world and needs huge amounts of water but is also very complex and expensive.In this research, nanomaterials, namely ZnO, T〖iO〗_2،S〖iO〗_2 have been used to cover the surface of concrete and steel pipes (The... 

Preformed particle gels (PPGs) due to its advatantage over commonly used in situ gels has been successfully applied for controlling excess water production in mature oil reservoirs. Field results of using PPGs in oil fields shows that commonly used PPGs are highly sensitive to hard reservoir conditions such as high temperature and salinity and can not effectively block fractures and high permeability layers.Objects of this study are synthesis and evaluating performance of this novel polymer based hydrogel in oil reservoirs with high temperature and salinity. Central composite design ( which is a experiment design approach) was used for synthesizing thirteen gel samples and optimal sample was... 

Sand production from oil reservoirs leads to various problems, such as well productivity reduction, operating equipment corrosion, and increased production costs. Therefore, controlling sand production in unconsolidated reservoirs is crucial for operating companies. Chemical injection into the formation in order to strengthen and reduce sand production is one of the most important methods of sand control. In this study, a hydrogel nanocomposite was designed and its effectiveness in sand control was investigated. Various tests were carried out to define and assess its efficacy, as follows: Morphological tests demonstrated the creation of a dense, homogeneous, and porous structure. Structural... 

Considering the limitations of fossil fuels in recent years, as well as increasing demand for biofuels, it is anticipated that future attention to biofuels will increase further. Among biofuels, due to some disadvantages of bioethanol and biodiesel fuel, there is a tendency to use biobutanol, which does not have the disadvantages of the mentioned fuels. The cost of chemical production of butanol also led researchers to use biotechnology production of butanol. According to studies, butanol production can be achieved by fermenting some sugars such as glucose, xylose, and ... by anaerobic microorganism, but the cost of using these sugars has resulted in the use of natural sources of these...
