چکیده

| A computational modeling system (CMS) provides scientiic investigators with a uni-ed computational environment and easy access to a broad range of modeling tools. The goal of a CMS is to provide computational support that increases the eeciency of scientists in the iterative process of modeling. A CMS consists of a computational modeling environment and transparent computational support for the environment. The modeling environment is based on a characterization of scientiic modeling activities that is focussed on the manner in which scientiic concepts are represented , manipulated, and evaluated, in the scientiic modeling process. Based on a formalization of the representation for a concept as representational structures (or \R-structures"), the process of scientiic modeling may be viewed as one in which (1) extensible collections R-structures are constructed, evaluated and applied in modeling both the phenomena in speciic application domains and the phenomena of the modeling process itself; and (2) instances of the domain elements of R-structures are created and sequences of transformations are applied to the instances. R-structures provide a \complete" and consistent foundation for both the modeling environment of a CMS and its associated, high-level computational modeling language (CML). CML may be employed in creating, accessing, and manipulating R-structures and their components in a simple, uniform manner. A CMS provides a unifying framework for the integration of existing tools, such as DBMS and mathematical software modules, and a distributed modeling environment. Based on the general speciication of a CMS, we have designed and implemented a speciic CMS, Amazonia, which supports earth science applications in terms of a speciic set of R-structures and a \seamlessly" integrated and extendable collection of computational modules, including an object-oriented DBMS.

Unsteady-state Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Hydrogen Separation from H2/N2 Mixture

3D modeling of Pd/α-Al2O3 hollow fiber membrane by using computational fluid dynamic for hydrogen separation from H2/N2 mixture was considered in steady and unsteady states by using the concept of characteristic time. Characteristic time concept could help us to design and calculate surface to volume ratio and membrane thickness, and adjust the feed conditions. The contribution of resistance be...

Computational fluid dynamics study and GA modeling approach of the bend angle effect on thermal-hydraulic characteristics in zigzag channels

In the study, the thermal-hydraulic performance of the zigzag channels with circular cross-section was analyzed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The standard K-Ꜫ turbulent scalable wall functions were used for modeling. The wall temperature was assumed constant 353 K and water was used as the working fluid. The zigzag serpentine channels with bend angles of 5 - 45° were studied for turbul...

Design, Modeling and Computational Analysis of crRNA to Regulate MetastamiR-10b and MetastamiR-126 in Post-transcriptional Level by CRISPR-C2c2 (Cas13a) Technique

Introduction: Metastasis is one the most important causes of mortality in cancer patients. Recent studies have shown the metastatic potential of a specific group of microRNAs called metastamirs.  miR-126 is shown to be correlated with the colorectal liver metastasis. Also, overexpression of miR-10b has been reported in metastatic breast cancer.  Therefore, down regulation of these miRNAs at tra...
