Landfill leachate, due to its content of resistant organic and inorganic pollutants, is considered one of the most significant environmental challenges. This study aimed to investigate advanced and complementary treatment methods for removing Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and color (at wavelengths of 455 and 465 nm) from treated leachate (subjected to biological and chemical treatment) from the Aradkouh landfill in Tehran. In the first phase, the combined oxidation and coagulation-flocculation process using two ferrate (VI)-based compounds (soluble sodium ferrate (Fersol) and potassium ferrate powder) was evaluated. Results showed that both substances performed best under highly acidic... 

In this research, we provide an abstract model for the typography of Persian language (Perso-Arabic script) and study two text corpora based on the Unicode properties of characters and this model. Then we search the corpora for phrases with special properties, based on the abstract model  

This thesis cantain two section. In the first section a novel extracting medium based on magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) nanoparticles was synthesized by chemical polymerization for micro-solid phase extraction. In this work, the modified chitosan magnetite nanoparticles (MNP-CS) was synthesized by co-precipitating Fe2+ and Fe3+ in the chitosan solution [1,2]. The characteristic properties of Fe3O4@MIPs nanoparticles were determined using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. Extraction efficiency of the novel extracting medium was compared with MNP-CS sorbents for the determination of RhB in aqueous samples, via quantification by spectrofluorimetry. The obtained results... 

The processing of brain signals, including the electrocorticogram (ECoG) signal, is widely used in the investigation of neurological diseases. Conventionally, the ECoG signal has frequency components up to the range of 80 Hz. Studies have proven that in some conditions, such as epilepsy, the brain signal includes frequency components higher than 80 Hz, which are called high-frequency oscillations (HFO). Therefore, HFOs are recognized as a biomarker for epilepsy. The aim of this thesis is to review the previous methods of detecting HFOs and to present new methods with greater efficiency in the direction of diagnosis or treatment of epileptic patients. For this purpose, we used the ECoG data... 

Air filter paper is a combination of cellulosic, polymeric and resin materials with a certain permeability to air, which is used to prevent dust from entering the internal combustion process.The purpose of this research was to study and make air filter paper, based on which 4 samples of automobile air filter paper were produced. Samples with a combination of 2 types of cellulose fibers, imported short Kraft fibers and long Bangladeshi Kenaf fibers (skin) and one type of polymer fibers, Polyester fibers with a type of self-networking water-based Acrylic resin with glass conversion temperature (Tg) About 33 degrees Celsius and in the range of 20% by weight with a mass of about 120 g/m2 were... 

The selective oxidation of H2S into elemental sulfur is a complementary desulfurization method for reducing H2S emissions from gas streams. Several studies have been conducted in recent years to develop active, selective, and stable catalysts. The purpose of this research is to develop a catalyst with high activity and selectivity that is suitable for the gas output of one of the country's refineries. For this purpose, three supports of mixed metal oxide (solid solution), Ce-Al, Ce-Si, and Ce-Zr with a molar ratio of 1:2 (ceria: metal) were made by the co-precipitation method. In the following, three samples named 10V-CeAl, 10V-CeSi, and 10V-CeZr were prepared by impregnating 10% wt vanadium... 

The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol represents a promising route for the efficient use of an anthropogenic greenhouse gas, in which catalysts play a key role in carbon dioxide conversion and methanol selectivity. In this study, firstly, CuO-ZnO-Al2O3, CuO-ZnO-ZrO2, CuO-ZnO-ZrO2-Al2O3, CuO-ZnO-Al2O3-CeO2 and CuO-ZnO-ZrO2-CeO2 catalysts were made using co-precipitation method, then these catalysts were characterized by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, specific surface area and pore size distribution, X-ray diffraction, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, temperature programmed reduction. Finally, in order to compare the performance of the catalysts...
