Polymer brushes show great promise in next-generation antibiofouling surfaces. Here, we have studied the influence of polymer brush architecture on protein resistance. By carefully optimizing reaction conditions, we were able to polymerize oligoglycerol-based brushes with sterically demanding linear or dendronized side chains on gold surfaces. Protein adsorption from serum and plasma was analyz...

rehabiliating bushehr historic fabric and paying to it as an important urban fabric through increasing capabilities and facilities is main concern. bushehr historical fabric can be the consequence of several factors the most important of which is the persian gulf and its past history as a national one. this fabric, is organic, dense, compact, having its own characteristics. one of its main prio...

Surface tension of a osteoblast cell in a micro chip is analysed. The effects of electrical pulse, electrode configuration ,micro channel dimension and specific property of suspension media on cell surface tension of osteoblast cell, were investigated. The effective surface tension of outer layer is exposed at micro scale pulse but for inner layer it is in peco scale pulse although pulse interv...

recreation (creativity) is undoubtedly one of the important designing bases and a durable, matchless and unique factor which determines distinction, excellence, and elegance of a building in comparison with other buildings; and architecture as one of the manifestations of human life in a special time and place can be a reflection of thoughts, ideas and living method and also represent identity ...

regionalism is an analytical and critical perspective which focuses on preserving special features of place and attempts to fill the vacuum in architecture. globalization is a complex multi-stage process that causes increasing complexity of time and place, greater awareness across the global and acceleration of cross cultural interactions. therefore, the present paper attempts to analyze global...

the historian-theoretician christian norberg-schulz, examining the development of his ideas across 30 years. while norberg-schulz started out with intentions in architecture (1963), a work that was clearly influenced by structuralist studies, he soon shifted to a phenomenological approach with existence, space and architecture (1971), and then with genius loci (1980) and the concept of dwelling...
