Polypropylene (PP) has a great market among the commodity thermoplastics. However, its application as an engineering plastic is limited due to the poor toughness and impact strength, especially at low temperatures and high deformation rates. To overcome this shortcoming, elastomeric modifiers have been used in engineering applications and thus rubber-modified PP blends have become a field of growing interest. In this regard, there have been great advances in blending technologies and also catalysts used for polymerization of olefins. Among these advances, the most applicable ones are impact polypropylene copolymers and also the advent of new types of olefinic copolymers that can replace EPR... 

The purpose of this study was evaluation of the performance of wastewater treatment system of Imam Cane plant for treatment of MDF factory wastewater. At first, It was required that microorganisms acclimation with presence of indigestion components in MDF factory wastewater, therefor the planned flow of wastewater was added to the lagoon after enhancing of system efficiency and concentration of UASB reactor sludge. The flow of MDF factory wastewater was mixed with canefactory wastewater stream and then mixed flow was introduced to UASB reactor. At first, 82 m3/day of wastewater was introduced to lagoon and after 28 day efficiency of treatment system reached to 68.9%... 

In the recent years, the enhancing of utilization of polymeric materials, especially in packaging application, became the serious concern because of the problems of their recycling. One of efficient ways for solving this problem is usage of biodegradable polymers. Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is one the alternative materials which is produced in gelatinization process by plasticizers. However, using of TPS because of its low mechanical properties, poor processability and high water absorption is not applicable and it is necessary to improve that. One of the strategy in order to improving the TPS properties is blending with other polymers, such as polylactic acid (PLA) which the biodegradable... 

In complex human social activities, practical problems involve more prominent uncertainty, and deterministic approaches of classical methods become powerless. In this research, a new method for human group decision making is presented by using heterogeneous incomplete uncertain preference relations. The uncertain multiplicative preference relations, uncertain fuzzy preference relations, uncertain linguistic preference relations, intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations and Interval
preference sequence can be included in this method.Our new method consists of nine steps. In the first step, decision-makers preferences in the form of heterogeneous comparison matrixes are driven.In the... 

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and identify the performance of a class D gas turbine and improve its efficiency.This thesis contains three parts: first part is to choose a specific engine in class D, for our case “Centaur 40”, then this engine, model and validate by GASTURB with existed data.Second part is tosurvey methods of pgradedemonstrated gas turbine with regard to upgraded Solar Centaur 40 “Taurus 60” using the FORTRAN code base on Stage Stacking method.Finally,the last part of this thesis is to investigate Compressor-Turbine matching. In this part the matching zone of the original and upgraded gas turbines are determined and effect of upgrading on matching zone is... 

We study a speci?c class of black holes which are called extremal. By de?ning extremality asdouble-horizon condition and imposing ?niteness assumption, we show that the dynamics of ?eldsat the horizon decouples from the rest of space. This decoupling occurs by vanishing all radialderivatives. We show this decoupling for the extremal black holes in the theories of gravity correctedby f(R)terms.We also show that these two above conditions leads to AdS × S1 near horizon geometry2of rotating black holes. This geometry which preserve SO(2, 1) × U(1) isometry group, is recentlyused in improving the entropy function method. Finally we show that decoupled equations of horizon can be derived from a... 

In this thesis, we provide a comprehensive overview of the efforts made towards achieving the goals of Hilbert’s program, and evaluate how successful They are. We begin by discussing Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, and then as a first attempt we present a brief presentation of Gentzen’s consistency theorem. Subsequently, various research fields that branched out from these initial efforts are explored, encompassing the application of the Omega-Rule, reverse mathematics, and self-verifying systems. Furthermore, we present the concept of “Almost Finitistic Consistency” as an alternative approach within Hilbert’s program. In conclusion, a thorough assessment of the success of Hilbert’s program...
