In this study the operations of melting of Au15Ag40 nanoalloy have been studied using the molecular dynamic simulations through the Gupta multiparticle potential and the nonergodicity of simulations is eliminated by the multiple histogram method. The melting characteristics are determined by the analysis of variations in the potential energy. The calculations indicate that the melting of Au15Ag...

dynamic analysis and study of atomic force microscope in liquid environment is the main goal of this research. hydrodynamic and squeeze forces act on cantilever of atomic force microscope which works in liquid environment, so. in this paper the effect of different environmental and physical factors had studied on frequency response diagrams. the importance of frequency response analysis is stud...

A retrospective evaluation of attitudinal, behavioural and knowledge change among diverse stakeholder groups was conducted in Limpopo Province of South Africa to assess the effectiveness of a series of values clarification (VC) interventions. Telephone and face-to-face interview (193) results revealed that over two-thirds (70.2%) reported behavioural changes and 93.2% reported increased compass...

in the present study, the q factor is obtained for the central alborz in iran using the lg coda method. the energy of a seismic wave decays while passing through a ‘real’ medium such as the earth which is not completely elastic. the decay in energy is due to non-elastic phenomena and is called intrinsic attenuation and is characterized with the q parameter, the large values of which represent s...

Periodic sticking motions can occur in vibro-impact systems for certain parameter ranges. When the coefficient of restitution is low (or zero), the range of periodic sticking motions can become large. In this work the dynamics of periodic sticking orbits with both zero and non-zero coefficient of restitution are considered. The dynamics of the periodic orbit is simulated as the forcing frequenc...
