oxidative addition reactions of 1,4-diiodo-butane and 1,3-diiodo-propane with [ptme2(ph2phen)]; in which ph2phen=4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, were studied in different solvents such as acetone and benzene.oxidative addition reaction of [pt me2(ph2phen)] with i(ch2)4i and i(ch2)3i produced the [pt me2i(ch2)4(ph2phen)i] (1a) and [pt me2i(ch2)3(ph2phen)i] (1b).all the platinum (iv) products w...

the main objective in sampling is to select a sample from a population in order to estimate some unknown population parameter, usually a total or a mean of some interesting variable. a simple way to take a sample of size n is to let all the possible samples have the same probability of being selected. this is called simple random sampling and then all units have the same probability of being ch...

due to lack of knowledge management system in the organization of technical and vocational university of iran (tvuni) and losing good employees because of retirement and substitution causes huge amount of costs to replace the similar expertise. there is no any suitable system in the tvuni to store, to document, and to distribute knowledge. based on the university’s features such as it has diffe...

‏‎the main purpose of this research was to:1.develop a coking model for thermal cracking of naphtha.2.study coke inhibition methods using different coke inhibitors.developing a coking model in naphtha cracking reactors requires a suitable model of the thermal cracking reactor based on a reliable kinetic model.to obtain reliable results all these models shall be solved simultaneously.for this pu...

in this project, 4,4?-methylenebis(3-chloro-2,6-diethyl trimellitimidobenzene) as a diacid, was prepared by the reaction of trimellitic anhydride (tma) with 4,4?-methylenebis(3-chloro-2,6-diethylaniline) (mcdea). the novel poly(amide-imide) (pai) was synthesized from the reaction of 4,4?-methylenebis(3-chloro-2,6-diethyl trimellitimidobenzene) as a diacid with mcdea under green condition using ...

the present study was an attempt to conduct a contrastive analysis between general english (ge) and english for specific purposes (esp) texts in terms of cohesion and cohesive devices. to this end, thirty texts from different esp and ge textbooks were randomly selected. then they were analyzed manually to find the frequency of cohesive devices. cohesive devices include reference, substitution, ...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
