mosque architecture is considered as a potent visual symbol of the islamic architects’ design ability. prayer-hall as the manifestation of equality between the believers and the unity of architectural space has challenged such an ability throughout the history. this study, considering the characteristics of light-openings in the domes of iranian mosques’ prayer-hall, aims to investigate these d...

The interior o f chlorosomes, the main antenna system o f the photosynthesizing bacterium Chloroßexus aurantiacus, is shown to contain no proteins in a fixed ratio to BChl c and in amounts that could be significant o f direct chromophore-protein complexes. This excludes non-covalent chromophore-protein complexing that has so far been found in all other antennae as the main organizational princi...

Traditional service channel is losing its edge due to emerging service technology. To establish interaction with the clients, the service industry is using effective mechanism to give clients direct access to services with emerging technologies. Thus, as service science receives attention, special and unique consumption pattern evolves; henceforth, leading to new market mechanism and influencin...

We study interior operators and interior structures in a fuzzy setting.We investigate systems of “almost open” fuzzy sets and the relationshipsto fuzzy interior operators and fuzzy interior systems.

We identify an optimized three-dimensional metallic photonic-band-gap filament architecture for electrically pumped, quasithermal, visible light emission. This identification is based on extensive band structure and finite-difference time-domain calculations of metallic photonic crystals. The optimum structure consists of an inverse square-spiral photonic crystal, exhibiting a large bandwidth o...

We analysed the architecture of cardiomyocyte nuclei lacking lamin A activity in three patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. The diagnosis was established on the basis of clinical and electrophysiological examinations, chest radiography and electrocardiography. An ultrastructural study of affected cardiomyocytes showed dramatic alterations in nuclear distribution and organization affecting nucl...

This paper investigates the issue of enabling scalable quantitative delay guarantee support in DiffServ networks through NSIS. A NSIS QoS Model is utilized to add the admission control framework to the DiffServ architecture and reservation-based admission control algorithms are designed for ingress and interior nodes respectively for enabling quantitative delay guarantees in a DiffServ domain. ...

Solving deterministic equivalent formulations of two-stage stochastic linear programs using interior point methods may be computationally diflicult due to the need to factorize quite dense search direction matrices (e.g., AAT). Several methods for improving the algorithmic efficiency of interior point algorithms by reducing the density of these matrices have been proposed in the literature. Ref...
