soil characteristics is very important in water erosion processes. the present investigation was conducted in gully lands of ardebil province, iran, to assess the role of soil texture and structure on aggregate stability using wet sieve method. to achieve the study purposes, mean weighted diameter of aggregates was calculated, and its relationships with lime and clay percentages, sodium absorpt...

A numerical method for solving linear integral equations of the second kind is formulated. Based on a special representation of vector forms of triangular functions and the related operational matrix of integration, the integral equation reduces to a linear system of algebraic equations. Generation of this system needs no integration, so all calculations can easily be implemented. Numerical res...

the literature associated with iran’s art and architecture in the past four decades has witnessed a handful number of works that have dealt with the re-interpretation of the old tradition of apprenticeship and its connection with the fotovvat movement of the time. in those valuable works, what has duly been decoded most, is the spiritual and mystical aspect of apprenticeship, as a full-scale so...

in this paper a comprehensive approach is presented to improve power swings damping based on direct lyapunov method. the approach combines superconducting magnetic energy storage (smes) system with static synchronous compensator (statcom). considering the energy absorption/injection ability of smes, in transient states the combination exchanges both active and reactive powers with power system....
