Enanthioselective synthesis of biological molecules are so important in synthetic chemistry, and because of their biological activities, β-amino carbonyl compounds have earned so much attention in this area of chemistry. Mannich reaction is a classical method for synthesis of these molecules. The Mannich reaction is a three-component reaction between an enolizable CH-acidic carbonyl compound, an amine, and an aldehyde producing β-amino carbonyl compounds. But acidic or basic difficult circumstances, long reaction time, low yield and enantioselectivity, are the drawbacks of classical methods. In this project, we used titania-based solid acid as an enantioselective catalyst to overcome these...

This master’s thesis has two major parts. The first part which includes chapters 1 to 8, describes the article A. Pfister, Quadratische Formen in beliebigen Körpern, Invent. Math. 1, (1966)pp. 116-132, and expresses important facts about the Witt ring W(K) of quadratic forms over an arbitrary field K of characteristic unequal to 2. Among those, it is shown that the order of each element in the additive group of W(K) is a power of 2, the Witt ring doesn’t have any zero divisor of odd dimension and a necessary and sufficient condition for W(K) to be an integral domain is given. The connections between the square class number of a field and the cardinality of its Witt ring and, providing some...

In this thesis, which is based on an article of Claus Scheiderer (Reference [21]), the relation between positive semi-definite elements of a semilocal ring, called psd, and elements of the ring which can be written as a sum of square elements of the ring and are called sos will be evaluated. In Chapter One, the concepts of prime cones, real spectrum of a ring and real ideals will be defined and then the relation between psd and sos elements in the total rings of quotients will be assessed. The Krull Valuation of an element which is a sum of squares will also be determined. In Chapter Two, the concept of totally positive elements in a ring will be defined and their properties will be... 

For a field of characteristic not two, the classical u-invariant is defined as the maximal dimension of anisotropic quadratic forms over F. Initially Kaplansky conjectured that u(F), when finite, is always a 2-power. Later Merkurjev constructed a field F such that u(F) = 6. This dissertation examines in detail the article: R. Elman, T. Y. Lam, Quadratic forms and the u-invariant. I. Math. Z. 131, 283-304 (1973). in which the notion of ”generalized u-invariant” (motivated by Pfister’s Local-Global Principle) was defined as the maximal dimension of anisotropic torsion quadratic forms over F. This is indeed a right generalization of the definition of the classical u-invariant since it not only... 

The method of nonlinear time history analysis is well known as one of the most accurate techniques in seismic analysis of structures. However, this method needs much effort in terms of required data and computational cost. Within the time constrains of design consulting firms, more simple analysis tools are also desirable. One of the simple methods which have been gaining ground, as an alternative to time history analysis, is nonlinear static pushover analysis. In this method, the capacity curve of the structure with respect to the roof displacement is established. In nonlinear static pushover analysis, disproportionate increases in the roof displacement and even outright reversals the... 

Nowadays, pile usage in construction of deep foundations has increased significantly, instead of shallow foundation in areas that shallow foundations doesn’t provide enough bearing capacity and measuring the velocity and acceleration due to pile driving is very important. Because, all responses of building and individuals located near the pile driving site influenced by these three parameters: pile vertical displacement, peak particle acceleration (PPA) and peak particle velocity (PPV). One can estimates these important parameters by numerical analysis of pile driving process in different distances and depths to determining the effect of pile driving. Compared values obtained from numerical...
