a novel acrylic acid-functionalized fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticle with a core-shell structure was developed for utilization as a heterogeneous organosuperacid in chemical transformations. the structural, surface, and magnetic characteristics of the nanosized catalyst were investigated by various techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (tem), thermogravimetric analysis (tga), and ft-ir...

We study the Casimir effect for a Bosonic string extended between D-branes, and living in a flat space with an antisymmetric background B-field. We find the Casimir energy as a function of the B-field, and the mass-parameter of the string, and accordingly we obtain a B-dependence correction term to the ground-state mass of the string. We show that for sufficiently large B-field, the ground stat...

Background and Aim: Urban outdoor space is an area of social interactions and face-to-face encounters due to the high power of certain spaces in various exchanges, such as information. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on these relationships, resulting in numerous shifts in human mobility and interaction patterns, especially in cities. However, urban outdoor spaces have the potent...

According to what the theorists of intertextuality have focused on, no original text has been existed. The mentioned works like other works have been reflections of the earlier texts. It seems that the application of intertextuality in the field of architecture criticism and applying its potentials in architecture, actually the study of a work in connection with previous ones, can be resulted t...
