The results of the condensed butadiene gas chromatography–mass spectrometry test indicate that, by using the active alumina as an adsorbent, the tert butylcatechol will be removed completely. In the next step, 1,3 butadiene, acrylonitrile, acrylic acid acid terpolymer, which one of its applications is manufacturing of artificial teeth, was synthesized by emulsion... 

Studying the dynamics of vesicles in simple shear flow is the first step to decipher the dynamics of cells in flows or the motion of vesicle-based nanoparticles in vessels for drug delivery. The deformation of vesicle in shear flow changes the permeability of its membrane and may lead to its rupture, both of which correlate with the transportation of vesicle cargos to their environment, especially important in drug delivery. The deformation of vesicles in shear flow not only depends on the physical properties of the whole system, such as temperature, but also on the mechanical properties of three media: vesicle membrane plus vesicle’s inner and outer fluid. The effect of the mechanical...

Distinguishing the structure of DNA is of outmost importance in the medicine and agriculture industry nowadays. Various methods have been suggested so far; however, high costs, incorrect results, and time-taking process are among main defects of them. Scientists try to find new ways for recognizing DNA structure and system in order to overcome such problems. One of these new methods is absorbing and passing DNA through Nano-pores in an electrolyte solution under the influence of an electrical field. The basis of this method is the ionized currents which occur due to the passing of DNA through Nano-pores. Because each DNA base pairs can form a barrier corresponding to a unique measured value,... 

In this thesis, the star formation history and evolution of IC 1613 dwarf galaxy and NGC 5128 giant elliptical galaxy has been studied. About IC 1613, our result shows that the star formation history of the galaxy is roughly constant in 5 Gyr ago and this support that the galaxy had been isolated at least in 5 Gyr ago. About NGC 5128, we can see that the star formation rate has suddenly increased in 700 Myr and 3.5 Gyr ago. This results in very good agreement with literature support that the galaxy has experienced some mergers with smaller gas rich galaxies
