Natural FRCM and Heritage Buildings: Experimental Approach to Innovative Interventions on “Wall Beams”

iranian english learners’ perception and personality: a dual approach to investigating influential factors on willingness to communicate

abstract previous studies on willingness to communicate (wtc) have shown the influence of many individual or situational factors on students’ tendency to engage in classroom communication, in which wtc has been viewed either at the trait-level or situational level. however, due to the complexity of the notion of willingness to communicate, the present study suggests that these two strands are ...

A Novel Approach to Design of Truss-Beams for Natural Frequency

Here, we present a novel two-step approach for optimum design of cellular truss-beams based on desired natural frequencies. The proposed approach at- tempts to decrease the design complexities, based on the so called Axiomatic Design, before any eort to solve the physical problem itself. It also serves as a generic approach which nds its generality through dimensional analysis with its accuracy...

On the Analysis of FGM Beams: FEM with Innovative Element

This paper aims at presenting a new efficient element for free vibration and instability analysis of Axially Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) non-prismatic beams using Finite Element Method (FEM). Using concept of Basic Displacement Functions (BDFs), two- node element extends  to three-node element for obtaining much more exact results using FEM. First, BDFs are introduced and computed usin...

A Review of mentalization and parental reflective function (PRF) based interventions, Introduction to Innovative Methods

In recent years many studies have been done in the field of the ability of mentalization and parental reflective function  and its role in the development of different kinds of psychological disorders.  The ability of mentalization shows parents’ understanding of their child’s mental state which will ultimately lead to the acquiring of this ability by the child during his or her development. Th...
