surface and subsurface water collection in small seasonal rivers is very crucial, particularly in dry seasons. in this study a type of intake is introduced which acts as a river drainage network. an experimental model of the subsurface intake was constructed and the effective parameters such as upstream discharge, installation depth, and drain intervals were evaluated. the results showed that t...

recently, economists have attention to the brain drain as emigration of skilled and educated labor force from developing countries. in this case, we are dealing with one main question is: how brain drain can affect the human capital of source countries? based on existing theories, brain drain can affect the economy of source countries in different ways such as; direct reduction of human capital...

Nuclei from nearly ripe eggs of Rana pipiens were isolated and cleaned in 0.1 M KCl. The whole nucleus was then digested to various degrees with ribonuclease or trypsin, followed by washing and fixation in either osmium tetroxide or potassium permanganate. The nuclear envelope was dissected off, placed on a grid, air dried, and compared with undigested controls in the electron microscope. Some ...

The Rayon grade pulp (RGP) drain effluent of pulp and paper mill was studied to find out pollutant loading and its control measures by low cost and efficient treatment method. Upflow anaerobic fixed packed bed reactor (UAFPBR) with brick ballasts as packing material was used for this purpose. This was compared with conventional anaerobic treatment method. The digested slurry was taken as inocul...

In some climates, massive buildings made of stone, masonry, concrete, earth and … can be utilized as one of the simplest and most effective ways of reducing building heating and cooling loads. Very often such savings could be achieved in the design stage of the building and with a relatively low-cost. Such declines in building envelope heat losses combined with optimized material configurati...

This work reviews the effect of parametric programming on visual performance, daylighting and shading in office buildings in Tehran-Iran and studies their influences that help not only to reduce the glare but also to promote useful daylight illuminance through promoting visual comfort. It starts by establishing a review of the effective parameters on visual comfort indices, glare indices, and d...

Triple Material (TM) Double Gate (DG) Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) with high-k dielectric material as Gate Stack (GS) is presented in this paper. A lightly doped channel has been taken to enhance the device performance and reduce short channel effects (SCEs) such as drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL), sub threshold slope (SS), hot carrier effects (HCEs), channel...

Performance characteristic of an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) is investigated using a newly developed heuristic approach. Almost all flight phases of any air vehicle can be categorized into trim and maneuvering flights. In this paper, a new envelope called trim-ability envelope, is introduced and sketched within the conventional flight envelope for a small UAV. Optimal maneuverability of the inte...
