Data accumulated by long term research projects offers interesting perspectives for network analytical research when made available under a free license. In the research project "Controversia et Confessio", the datasets are stored in relational databases, whose structures do not lend themselves easily to the relationship-based thinking necessary for network research. The following paper present...

the hoard of kalmakarreh includes hundreds of golden and silver wares that were incidentally discovered by a local hunter in 1987 at a northwest 20 kilometer distance to pol-e dokhtar in province of lorestan. the collection includes a variety of dishes, raytheon, human and animal sculptures, masks, plaques, jewelry,… that belongs to the neo- elamite (first millennium bc). this research led to t...

In this study, the behavior characteristics of I beam-to-concrete filled tube (CFT) column connection is studied through experiment and finite element models under the monotonic loading. To validate the finite element modeling, at first, an experimental model is made and experimented. After validation of the finite element modeling, different models were created in the software. The studied par...

Abstract   In this paper analytical analysis of capacitive pressure sensor with clamped diaphragm is presented. Mechanical and electrical properties of the sensor are theoretically analyzed based on theory of thin plates with small deflection and the results are evaluated by use of finite element analysis. The central deflection and capacitance values under uniform external pressure are calcula...

Although many attempts have been made in presenting systematic models for design processes, most projects have been implemented by non-systematic methods, which seems that too much emphasis on the description of the final project (product) and the lack of attention to the design process are to be blamed for this. In this paper, a specific pattern of design scenario formation in the framework of...

Operations Research / Management Science (OR/MS) can be described as the discipline of applying advanced analytical methods to help making better decisions and has been around in the agricultural and forestry management sectors since the fifties, approaching decision problems that range from more strategic sectorlevel planning to farm operation issues and integrated supply chain management. In ...

The ability to confine and manipulate single particles in free solution is a key enabling technology for fundamental and applied science. Methods for particle trapping based on optical, magnetic, electrokinetic, and acoustic techniques have led to major advancements in physics and biology ranging from the molecular to cellular level. In this article, we introduce a new microfluidic-based techni...
