کیفیت خواب رانندگان حرفه‌ای در ایران و عوامل موثر بر آن

Introduction: Heavy vehicle transportation continues to grow in Iran, yet the risk of injury and death has increased during the recent decades. In Iran, there are more than 22000 deaths annually due to road accidents which is the highest in the world. Many of these accidents are related to poor sleep quality in professional drivers. The most significant detrimental consequence of poor quality o...

A Robust SAR NLFM Waveform Selection Based on the Total Quality Assessment Techniques

Design, simulation and optimal selection of cosine-linear frequency modulation waveform (CNLFM) based on correlated ambiguity function (AF) method for the purpose of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is done in this article. The selected optimum CNLFM waveform in contribution with other waveforms are applied directly into a SAR image formation algorithm (IFA) and their quality effects performance ...

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Daylight Performance Metrics in Predicting Visual Comfort Case Study: Educational Architecture Design Studios in Tehran

It is essential to ensure that adequate daylight penetrates in, especially, educational environments. In spite of positive significant impacts of daylight on the emotions, concentration, and learning of students, an exceeded amount of light will lead to glare and visual dissatisfaction. Over the last few years, with the help of simulation tools and lighting indices, it is possible to predict li...
