In exploring the evolution of Iranian architecture from prototypes to the present day, Qajar architecture is an important part of Iranian architecture history. The importance of this era's architecture is because large changes in conceptual and physical context occurred slowly in Iranian architecture during this time. These changes, especially from the Nasserian period (the second Qajar era), h...

Blends of bitumen, clay, and quartz in water are obtained from the surface mining Athabasca Oil Sands. To facilitate its transportation through pipelines, this mixture is usually diluted with locally produced naphtha. As a result this, naphtha has to be recovered later, recovery unit (NRU). The NRU process complex one requires knowledge Vapour-Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium (VLLE) thermodynamics. pr...

a simple, rapid and efficient dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction by use of ionic liquid (il-dllme)method, followed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (faas) was developed for the preconcentrationand determination of palladium in water samples. in this method, an appropriate mixture of acetone and octylmethyl imidazolium hexafluorophosphate was injected rapidly into the aqueous sample...

the term globalization undoubtedly has affected all parts of humanity life in current century. globalization as a comprehensive phenomenon has influenced economical, political, social and cultural aspects of our societies. contemporary architecture as a multidimensional category is depended on various factors and needs to be pursued in different fields, in order to reach to a perfect comprehend...

traditional houses enjoy an organizing with inner spaces based on religious and traditional notions of iranian families. space flexibility, readability, introversion, spatial hierarchy and family privacy have had a special status in architecture of iranian houses, replaced with an outward-oriented architecture. the traditional architecture which has had all the necessary spaces for any communic...

Two flexible multivalent molecular units are employed to self-assemble highly regular supramolecular porous networks at the solid/liquid interface. Scanning tunnelling microscopy imaging corroborated with molecular dynamics simulations make it possible to elucidate the conformational freedom behind the binding motif, which identify the architecture as a highly regular soft network.

Chirality of a nucleotide-Cu(II) complex molecule, [CuNa(GMP)(HGMP)(H(2)O)(7)]·6(H(2)O)·CH(3)OH (GMP = guanosine 5'-monophosphate), is delivered to the three-dimensional supramolecular architecture by hydrogen bonding. Liquid- and solid-state circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy are used to analyse the molecular and supramolecular chirality.

Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with highly interactive graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are replacing the traditional “mechanical” human-machine interfaces (HMIs) currently found on most home appliances. This paper explores these technologies, as well as Altera, Altia, and Echelon’s innovative, total-solution architecture for delivering low-cost, high-performance HMIs on virtually any home appl...
