Nowadays due to water shortage, the use of air humidity as the sustainable solution has been considered by cities located in coastal zones; especially in warm and humid climate. However, the use of air humidity also has its own problems such as corrosion of metal parts in photovoltaic cells that used for energy supplying and they are often made of Aluminum alloy. Therefore different methods suc...

In many industrialized areas, the highest concentration of particulate matter, as a major concern on public health, is being felt worldwide problem. Since the air pollution assessment and its evaluation with considering spatial dispersion analysis because of various factors are complex, in this paper, GIS-based modeling approach was utilized to zoning PM2.5 dispersion over Tehran, du...

Biodegradable elastomeric materials are gaining extensive attention in the field of soft tissue engineering. Poly (glycerol sebacate) (PGS) is a novel biocompatible elastomer in this scope. However this polymer has poor mechanical properties especially when the molar ratio of glycerol is higher than sebacic acid. Calcium Titanate (CaTiO3) is a biocompatible ceramic with some degr...

Block copolymer nano-micelles are especially important in cancer treatment because of their fine dimensions. In this article, three systems of amphiphilic copolymers with similar lengths and different ratios of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains are studied using implicit-solvent coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The factor fphil is defined as the ratio of the number...

Platinum extraction from spent reforming catalysts in iodine solutions under atmospheric pressure at different temperatures, acid concentration, and iodine spices concentration, catalyst particle size, and impeller agitation speed have been studied in our group. In this system, platinum is oxidized from spent catalyst with I3¯ that is formed ...

introduction: recently, it has been recognized that oral infections, especially periodontitis might have effect on several systemic conditions. a possible role of oral diseases in sub-fertility and infertility was also has been suggested. the aim of this review was to evaluate the association between poor oral health and fertility problems. methods: in this narrative review, authors used pubmed...

the prevalence of sub-clinical ketosis and its predisposing factors were assessed in three dairy farms with different sizes (large, medium, small) and different facilities, and with constant management routines. eighty-one cows within the first two months of lactation were sampled for blood. the concentrations of beta-hydroxybutyrate and glucose were determined in blood serum. rations were anal...
