abstract: in this thesis, we focus to class of convex optimization problem whose objective function is given as a linear function and a convex function of a linear transformation of the decision variables and whose feasible region is a polytope. we show that there exists an optimal solution to this class of problems on a face of the constraint polytope of feasible region. based on this, we dev...

wireless sensor networks (wsns) are one of the most interesting consequences of innovations in different areas of technology including wireless and mobile communications, networking, and sensor design. these networks are considered as a class of wireless networks which are constructed by a set of sensors. a large number of applications have been proposed for wsns. besides having numerous applic...

This study investigates the role of man-made disturbance on on nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient storage by herbaceous species in Gall Oak stands of Lorestan province. In order to do this study, two sites with the same physiographic and ecological conditions and different land uses were selected. Multiscale sampling plots were used randomly in each site to collect data on forest floor vegetation...

 Preparation conditions and platelet storage for transfusion may cause platelet activation, which contributes to decreased ability of stored platelet to function and survive in vivo after transfusion compared with that seen with freshly prepared platelets. Using flowcytometry, we investigated platelet membrane expression of CD62P, CD63 in platelet stored for up to 3 days under standard blood ba...

Color and sensory characteristics have a key effect on consumerchr('39')s preferences of fish product. Hence, the aim of present study was to explore the effects of two stunning/slaughtering methods including electroshock and asphyxia in the air on color and sensory characteristics of cultured silver carp. The results showed all color indices changed significantly across both treatments at the ...
