the purpose of this paper is to investigate the views of six qur’an commentators, with different backgrounds, i.e., tabresi, zamakhshari, fakhr razi, meybodi, and tabatabaei, in order to find which one the three theories in religious language, i.e., equivocalism, univocalism, and analogous language is more consistent with their comments on quran. to reach this aim, first, the three theories in ...

based on two-dimensional plane stress and bifurcation functional from hill's general theory in polar coordinate the critical condition for elastic wrinkling of the flange of a circular blank ( the wave number in the flange and wrinkled area) during the deep-drawing process are obtained analyticaly to improve the previous given results. in this analytical study, the elastic limitation of the mat...

traditional medicines, according to the world health organization, are defined as “the sum total of the knowledge, skill, and practices based on the beliefs, theories, and experiences indigenous to different cultures that are based and developed historically. due to the increasing uses of traditional medicines worldwide, it seems that cognition of their principles and foundations are necessary....

in this paper, let $l$ be a completeresiduated lattice, and let {bf set} denote the category of setsand mappings, $lf$-{bf pos} denote the category of $lf$-posets and$lf$-monotone mappings, and $lf$-{bf cslat}$(sqcup)$, $lf$-{bfcslat}$(sqcap)$ denote the category of $lf$-completelattices and $lf$-join-preserving mappings and the category of$lf$-complete lattices and $lf$-meet-preserving mapping...

In this paper, the behavior of free vibrations and buckling of the sandwich panel with a flexible core was investigated using a new improved ‎high-order sandwich panel theory. In this theory, equations of motion were formulated based on shear stresses in the core. First-order shear deformation theory was ‎applied for the procedures. In this theory, for the first time, incompatibility problem of...
