in many studies, topographic factors have been considered as an important factor in establishing the vegetation in different ecosystems. so, it affects vegetation composition and diversity by influencing soil moisture, fertility and soil depth. the aim of this research was to investigate the effects of slope, elevation and geographical aspects on species growth, forage production and vegetation...

introduction: science production is one of the main dimensions of sustainable development in any country. thus, universities as the major centers for science production play a key role in development. the present study aimed to assess the trend of science production in iran’s type i universities of medical sciences from 2007 to 2012. method: in this study, the universities’ scores of empowering...

The report reviews the problem of topological coherent modes, which are nonlinear collective states of Bose-condensed atoms. Such modes can be generated by means of alternating external fields, whose frequencies are in resonance with the transition frequencies between the related modes. The Bose gas with generated topological coherent modes is a collective nonlinear analog of a resonant atom. S...

In the oil supply chain, the refined petroleum products are transported by various transportation modes, such as rail, road, vessel and pipeline. The latter provides one of the safest and cheapest ways to connect production areas to local markets. This paper addresses the operational scheduling of a multi-product tree-like pipeline connecting several refineries to multiple distribution centers ...

An accurate model named as the Modified Wolff Model (MWM) is presented as an efficient CAD tool for determination of resonant frequency of the dominant and higher order modes under the multi-layer condition in thin and thick circular microstrip patch antennas. The effects of dielectric cover on the resonant frequency obtained from MWM have been compared against the result of theoretical method ...
