in the current study, synthesis and characterization of a new nano-structured zirconium(iv)-minoxidil complex (1), where minoxidil, (c9h15n5o; 6-(1-piperidinyl)-2,4-pyrimidinediamine 3-oxide), have been investigated in two different solvents. the compound 1 has been synthesized by sonochemical method in the presence of methanol and monoethylene glycol (meg) as solvents and characterized by scan...

We obtain several asymptotic results on the powers of a square matrix associated with SVD, QR decomposition and Cholesky decomposition.

We discuss partitioning methods using hypergraphs to produce fill-reducing orderings of sparse matrices for Cholesky, LU and QR factorizations. For the Cholesky factorization, we investigate a recent result on pattern-wise decomposition of sparse matrices, generalize the result, and develop algorithmic tools to obtain more effective ordering methods. The generalized results help us to develop f...

background : connection between socioeconomic statuses and mental health has been reported already. accordingly, mental health asymmetrically is distributed in society; therefore, people with disadvantaged condition suffer from inconsistent burden of mental disorders. in this study, we aimed to understand the determinants of socioeconomic inequality of mental health in the female-headed househo...

magnetic nanoparticles attracted a great deal of attention in the medical applications due to their unique properties. the most exceptional property of magnetic particles is their response to a magnetic force, and this property has been utilized in applications such as drug targeting, bioseparation, contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and heating mediators for cancer therapy. in...

e nergy consumption has increased significantly in iran during the recent decades. in this study, an inter-industrial model has been improved to investigate the sources of the changes in the energy consumption of the country. the input-output tables of iran for the years 1988 and 2001 have been employed as the database of the model. the innovation of this research allows the researchers to stud...

polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (pol.-sar) allows us to implement the recognition and classification of radar targets. this article investigates the arrangement of scatterers by sar data and proposes a new look-up table of region (ltr). this look-up table is based on the combination of (entropy h/anisotropy a) and (anisotropy a/scattering mechanism α), which has not been reported up now. ...

in this paper, cubic nickel oxide nanoparticles were successfully prepared by solid-state thermal decomposition of nickel(ii) macrocyclic schiff-base complex at 450°c for 3 h without employing toxic solvent or surfactant and complicated equipment. nickel(ii) macrocyclic schiff-base complex was synthesized by the reaction of 1,2-bis(2-formyl-3-methoxyphenyl)propane, nicl2•6h2o and 1,3-phenylened...

the problem of series two-block disjoint decomposition of completely specifiedboolean functions is considered. analysis and investigation of such systems are veryimportant in logical design context. recently, a good method for solving thisproblem was suggested which has been based on the ternary matrix cover approach.using this method a computer program was developed. this paper is focused onde...
