in the first part of this thesis we explored wetting and its dynamics for small droplets. first, we showed how a simple feature of water droplets on a surface, i.e. laplace pressure, can be exploited to build a micropump. we investigated capillary pumping in microchannels both experimentally and numerically. putting two droplets of different sizes at the in/outlet of a microchannel, will ge...

building on previous studies on intellectual features and learners’ grammar learning, the present study aimed at investigating whether intelligence criterion had any impact on efl learners’ english grammar learning across two intelligence levels. in the current study, the participants were divided into two experimental and control groups by administration of raven i.q. test. this led to the for...

راحتی سفر (ride comfort) در خودرو ها بستگی به احساس سرنشیان داخل وسیله نقلیه نسبت به ارتعاشات وارد شده بر خودرو دارد. ارتعاشات بدنه خودرو ناشی از عوامل گوناگونی مثل ناهمواری های سطح جاده، نیروهای آیرودینامیکی، ارتعاشات موتور و نابالانسی چرخ ها می تواند باشد[1].عموما ناهمواری های سطح جاده منبع اصلی ارتعاشات ایجاد شده بر روی وسیله نقلیه بوده و ضربه های اتفاقی ناشی از ناهمواری های جاده، خودرو را د...

in this thesis, a new optically active poly(amide-imide) (pai) was synthesized by the indirect polycondensation reaction of the l-phenylalanine based diacid chloride and 4,4?-diaminodiphenylether in the presence of triethylamine in n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. the formation of pai was confirmed by ftir, 1h nmr and elemental analysis. in next step, the surface of titanium dioxide (tio2) nanoparticles...

abstract since heubners (1985) pioneering study, there have been many studies on (mis) use/ non-use of articles by l2 learners from article-less and article languages. the present study investigated how persian l2 learners of english produce and interpret english definite descriptions and demonstrative descriptions. it was assumed that definite and demonstrative descriptions share the same cen...

بخش اول این پایان نامه به طور عمده بر توسعه کاربردهای جدید n-(پارا-تولوئن سولفونیل) ایمیدازول (tsim) و تری فنیل فسفین/ تتراکلرید کربن در تبدیل گروههای عاملی به یکدیگر استوار است. نظر به تنوع زیاد، دردسترس بودن، سمیت کمتر و نقل و انتقال آسان تر الکل ها نسبت به آلکیل هالیدها، تبدیل مستقیم گروه هیدروکسیل به گروه های عاملی دیگر مثل آزید، نیتریل و استر یکی از مهم ترین تبدیلات در سنتزهای آلی است. با ...
