The main objective of this article is to identify and evaluate the accelerating factor in the Iranian oil nationalization movement. The main question is: what was the accelerating factor that put the Iranian oil nationalization movement into practice? The article relies on the reform movement theory of Neil Smelser. For this purpose, fraud in the 16thnational election of the parliament, and est...

Multiple-model adaptive estimation techniques have been previously successfully applied to fault diagnosis of microsystems. Their diagnosis performance highly depends on the accuracy of modeling techniques used in representing faults. This paper presents the application of a self-tuning forgetting factor technique in the modeling of faults in MEMS and its effects on diagnosis performance compar...

We examine brane induced gravity on codimension-1 branes, a.k.a DGP gravity, as a theory of five-dimensional gravity containing a certain class of fourdimensional branes. From this perspective, the model suffers from a number of pathologies which went unnoticed before. By generalizing the 5D geometry from Minkowski to Schwarzschild, we find that when the bulk mass is large enough, the brane hit...

A novel and cost-effective catalyst for synthesis of 2,3'-dihydroquinazolin-4-(1H)-ones was developed utilizing a combined nanocomposite obtained from bonding TiCl3 to hydroxyl groups of nanofibrillated cellulose as a green and inexpensive support.The structure of the catalyst was investigated using the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning...

We solve saddle point problems by accelerated versions of the classical Cimmino’s method. For that, saddle point problems are reviewed and reformulated as best approximation problems. In that setting, low-cost optimization techniques are used for accelerating Cimmino’s method. Encouraging numerical results coming from KKT systems, Stokes problems and domain decomposition problems are presented....

In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of using accelerating simulation techniques in mobile ad hoc networks. We propose two approaches both of which use a hybrid simulation technique to gain acceleration for simulation by taking advantage of their particular characteristics.
