The genus Ambrosia consisting at least 40 species, with numerous intraspecific taxa (Essl et al. 2015). The first observation of Ambrosia from Iran was reported by Mozaffarian (1991). He reported distribution of A. artemisiifolia L.in Bandar-e Anzali (Gilan province, N Iran). Expanding new colonies of Ambrosia species were increasingly observed from road-sides and coastal areas of Bandar-e Anza...

In the present work, structural characteristics and tribological properties of the Ti-Al-Cr-(Si)-C-N nanocomposite films coated on the SPK 1.2080 tool steel byPVD technique have been investigated. The PVD coating process was carried out using Ti (Si) Al and CrAl cathodes at 150 A current, 40 V bias and (Ar)0.1(CH4)0.45(N2)0.45 gas mixture for 50 min. Evaluations were conducted by OM, FESEM, AFM...

In this paper we introduce the SpeakCorrect system which is a Computer Aided Pronunciation Training (CAPT) system for native Arabic students of English. The system is designed with optimized performance for the target users group. It is L1 dependent system and only the frequent pronunciation errors of native Arabic speakers are examined. Several adaptation techniques such as Speaker Adaptive Tr...

the present article has adopted a critical discourse perspective to study ahmad-e jām’s ons al-tāʾebīn. ahmad-e jām (b. 1049 ad in nāmaq, near toršīz, khorasan; d. 1141ad) was one of the mystics of khorasan, iran. traces of cultural transition can be found in his works and ons al-tāʾebīn is his masterpiece. the book mainly criticizes the official mysticism of the writer’s time. the cult which h...

In this paper the feasibility of NbAl3/Al2O3 nanocomposite formation through mechanochemical reaction between Al and Nb2O5 and the effect of mechanical activation on the kinetic and reaction mechanism were investigated. Structural and phase evolution during mechanical alloying were studied by employing transmission electron microscopy (TEM)...

An analytic study was conducted on coupled partial differential equations. We formally derived new solitary wave solutions of generalized coupled system of Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) and KdV equations by using modified extended tanh method. The traveling wave solutions for each generalized coupled system of ZK and KdV equations are shown in form of periodic, dark, and bright solitary wave solution...
