The main issues discussed in the article are as follows: 1. identification of time and place where envoys Tibetan Geluk leaders met with Oirats; 2. establishing exact gathering advancing Oirat army towards Kukunor lake autumn 1636. authors suggest that commander-in-chief was Elet (Dzungarian) Batur-Khuntaiji, who later became "deputy" Khoshut Gushi Khan. arrival Lama Tsagan Nomyn Khan to Oirats...

this study aims at analyzing spatial pattern and associations of fagus oriantalis lipsky in different vertical classes in intact beech forests. data collection was done in 25 ha plot in gorazbon district of educational and experimental forests of university of tehran. species and dbh of all trees with dbh > 7.5 cm were recorded. the location of each tree was determined using azimuth and distanc...

In order to protect fragile shoreline and coastal assets during extreme storms, a combined floating breakwater-windbreak has been proposed reduce both wind wave energies in the sheltered area. The 1 km-long breakwater porous hull with internal tubes allow free passage of water; thereby further dissipating energy. deck structure is designed have slope 25 degrees facing upstream side, arrays cyli...

Aiming for the advancement of tsunami load, historical and/or prospective scale evaluations, practical empirical formulas evaluating friction factor K inundation flow and density ρ water over a movable bed, which can be applied to run-up theory, are proposed using experimental data whose amount (range) is increased (expanded) by carrying out additional experiments on with sediment, verification...

Using a high intensity, femtosecond laser driven neutron source, a high-sensitivity neutron detector was calibrated. This detector is designed for observing fusion neutrons at the Z accelerator in Sandia National Laboratories. Nuclear fusion from laser driven deuterium cluster explosions was used to generate a clean source of nearly monoenergetic 2.45MeV neutrons at a well-defined time. This so...
