nowadays, utilization of blended fuel in internal combustion engine is one of main topics in vehicle industries. the synergy effect will be highlighted when the potential of each fuel is employed and the engine performance will improve consequently.  in this research, the laminar flame speed of methane (main component of reference fuel for natural gas) and isooctane (main component of reference...

dehaulling is one of the important stages in sesame grain processing. it includes soaking, dehusking the grain, and separating the husks from kernels. in the present study, a continuous dehuller for an industrial continuous process layout of grain was designed, fabricated and evaluated. the slope and speed of dehuller were the main factors for laboratory experiments. results depicted both facto...

A steady increase in reading speed is the hallmark of normal reading acquisition. However, little is known of the influence of visual attention capacity on children's reading speed. The number of distinct visual elements that can be simultaneously processed at a glance (dubbed the visual attention span), predicts single-word reading speed in both normal reading and dyslexic children. However, t...

as oral skills are increasingly seen as a high priority, phonology and pronuncia tion teaching are occupying a central position in the teaching and learning of other languages. the present study is an attempt to shed some light on identifying and exploring the diffculties of iranian efl learners in phonology and pronunciation. to achieve this goal, 3 male language learners (elementary, intermed...

one of the great challenges in the processing of materials using equal channel angular pressing (ecap) is the high forming forces required to produce large shear deformation in the material. researchers show that the friction forces between the die and the sample constitute a great part of the total forming forces. recently, ultrasonic vibrations are successfully implemented into the ecap proce...

Classifications of several gesture types are very helpful in several applications. This paper tries to address fast classifications of hand gestures using DTW over multi-core simple processors. We presented a methodology to distribute templates over multi-cores and then allow parallel execution of the classification. The results were presented to voting algorithm in which the majority vote was ...

since threshing is one of the most sensitive rice post-harvest processing operations, this study was conducted to evaluate the threshing performance in axial - flow paddy thresher. independent variables consisted of: drum speed at five levels (550, 650, 750 and 850 rpm), equivalent to peripheral velocities of: 14.67, 17.35, 20.01 and 22.37 m/s, respectively, paddy moisture content at two levels...
