In this article, the accuracy of empirical and numerical methods in prediction of wind wave characteristics in AmirAbad and Bushehr Ports have been studied, evaluated and compared. First, the wave characteristics have been calculated using Babolsar and Bushehr synoptic stations and employing empirical methods including SMB, SPM and CEM. Moreover the errors of empirical methods have been determi...

the methods which are used to analyze microstrip antennas, are divited into three categories: empirical methods, semi-empirical methods and full-wave analysis. empirical and semi-empirical methods are generally based on some fundamental simplifying assumptions about quality of surface current distribution and substrate thickness. thses simplificatioms cause low accuracy in field evaluation. ful...

in this study, scour of mashkid bridge pier located in mashkid river of saravan county has been studied and to measure the scour rate, the numerical model hec-ras 4.0 has been used. upon selection of mashkid river as the case study and whereas the studied zone is important with respect to the climatic conditions and showery monsoon raining and flowing the great and destructive floodwaters, ther...

Abstract Prediction of maximum wave height and the relative period as the fundamental parameters for assessment and design of offshore structures are forced with uncertainties. This paper proposes two algorithms for calculation of the probable extreme wave height in the Persian Gulf with respect to existing statics data in the South Pars region. A long-term joint distribution model of the co...

abstract foreign and iranian cultures are far distinct in the constraints imposed on writing and translating for children, since the iranian literary system is mainly concerned with cultural and religious instructions which lead to manipulation of translated texts. this study sought to identify the cultural and social constraints and norms which determined the strategies applied in the transl...

In this study two breakwater models with different conditions of bed, waves and water level are employed to analyze the toe stability and scour depth. The tests are conducted with regular waves. It is found that the scour depth in front of the rubble-mound breakwater depends on wave height, structure slope, water level and wave period, but the results reveal the effect of wave period toe is mor...

the present paper investigates how far ideologies can be tease out in discourse by examining the employed schemata by two ideologically opposed news media, the bbc and press tv, to report syria crisis during a period of nine months in 2011. by assuming that news is not a valuefree construction of facts and drawing on micro structural approach of schema theory, for the first time in discours...

126 abstract: in this research we studied the effects of cyclic hydration and dehydration of cysts of artemia urmiana and artemia parthenogenetica on the hatching percentage, survival and growth. the experiment was carried out in 3 treatments (1-3 hydration/dehydration cycles) with 3 replicates for each treatment. later effects of cold preservation at -20°c during three time periods were ...
