S U M M A R Y Acoustic wavefields produced using sources appropriately delayed in time can be focused at known positions and times in a heterogeneous medium. Seismoelectric conversion occurs if the acoustic focus point coincides with a discontinuity in electrical and hydrological medium properties, thus generating a current density. The current generates a potential difference, which can be obs...

poly (n-bromosuccinimide) (pnbs) as a mild, efficient, non-acidic, polymeric and heterogeneous catalyst was applied for simple conversion of epoxides into thiiranes by treatment with kscn or (nh2)2cs at room temperature. aliphatic and aromatic epoxides converted into their corresponding thiiranes under mild conditions. all reactions proceeded in short reaction times and afforded the correspondi...

in this research, zeolite a was synthesized from waste porcelain and cds nano-particles were doped in zeolite framework by a precipitation after an ion exchanging process. all raw and modified samples were characterized by ft-ir, xrd and sem methods. primary experiments showed that the good efficiency of loaded nano cds onto the zeolite a for photodecomposition of dimethyldisulfide (dmds) under...

background:  radiochromic film is used for radiation dose measurement, xr-rv3 is used in fluoroscopy and ebt2 film in radiation therapy. the aim was to determine if the dosimetric properties of these two films are comparable in megavolt photon beams. materials and methods: comparison measurements included: calibration curves, heterogeneous phantom dose profiles, and nasopharynx dose distributio...

Background:  Magnetotactic bacteria are a heterogeneous group of Gram-negative prokaryote cells that produce linear chains of magnetic particles called magnetosomes, intracellular organelles composed of magnetic iron particles. Many important applications have been defined for magnetic nanoparticles in biotechnology, such as cell separation applications and  acting as carriers of enzymes, antib...

in the present study, the synthesis of diethylene triamine supported on cellulose biopolymer as a biodegradable solid basic heterogeneous catalyst was suggested. then, the applicability of the synthesized catalyst cellulose bonded n-propyl diethylene triamine (cbpdeta) was tested for the synthesis of oxindole derivatives, an important class of potentially bioactive compounds. a various series o...

Considering the incomplete contact between adjacent layers of crossanisotropic multilayered half-space media, an algorithm was derived based on spectral element method (SEM) to determine dynamic response at any point medium when axisymmetric harmonic load is applied. The used two equivalent parameters simulate relationship discontinuity displacement and stress. SEM employed for summation in int...

We consider the problem of wave propagation through one-dimensional spatio-temporal or dynamic laminates when the wavelength of the disturbance is large relative to the scale of the microstructure. Dynamic materials are heterogeneous formations assembled from materials which are distributed on a microscale in space and in time. Using the techniques of Floquet analysis and asymptotic expansions,...
