The produced electric and magnetic fields due to lightning strikes to mountainous ground are determined in this paper. For the sake of simplicity a cone-shaped ground with finite conductivity is assumed to represent a natural nonflat ground. By this assumption, we deal with an axillary symmetrical structure so we use the cylindrical 2D-FDTD to save the simulation memory and time, dramatically. ...

phenolic resins have been widely used for selective high technology applications due to their excellent ablative properties, structural integrity and thermal stability that make them appropriate for thermal insulation materials, wood products industry, coatings, moulding compounds and composite materials. polymer layered silicate nanocomposites based on montmorillonite (mmt) have attracted a gr...

introduction: a fixed hemodynamic response function (hrf) is commonly used for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri) analysis. however, hrf may vary from region to region and subject to subject. we investigated the effect of locally estimated hrf (in functionally homogenous parcels) on activation detection sensitivity in a heroin cue reactivity study. methods: we proposed a novel explora...

A normed space $mathfrak{X}$ is said to have the fixed point property, if for each nonexpansive mapping $T : E longrightarrow E $ on a nonempty bounded closed convex subset $ E $ of $ mathfrak{X} $ has a fixed point. In this paper, we first show that if $ X $ is a locally compact Hausdorff space then the following are equivalent: (i) $X$ is infinite set, (ii) $C_0(X)$ is infinite dimensional, (...
