the members of anopheles maculipennis subgroup (diptera: culicidae) are the most important vectors of malaria in the north, west, and central plateau of iran. this study was carried out to differentiate the species composition of this subgroup based on morphometric variation seta 2-iv and v (antepalmate hair) among 149 larval specimens that were deposited at the medical arthropods museum, the s...

background: in today's world, survival of any organization depends on its competitiveness and suitable decisions against environmental changes.  one of the effective methods in organizations is to use performance evaluation systems to determine weak points to be improved and strengths to be reinforced. performance evaluation and management not only help organizations to increase competitiveness...

due to its complexity and destructive nature, convection has been subject of many studies and researches among weather phenomena throughout the world. scientists have attempted for decades to generate different types of models to provide the possibility of abating or, at least, reducing convective weather phenomena effects on people’s lives. in south or southwest of iran, people are familiar wi...

‎In this paper‎, ‎some algebraic and geometrical properties of the rank$-k$ numerical hulls of normal matrices are investigated‎. ‎A characterization of normal matrices whose rank$-1$ numerical hulls are equal to their numerical range is given‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎using the extreme points of the numerical range‎, ‎the higher rank numerical hulls of matrices of the form $A_1 oplus i A_2$‎, ‎where $A_1...

in this work a numerical study of thermal and fluid dynamics behavior of natural air convection in a square cavity in a laminar flow is presented, by finite volume method. the square cavity has two walls heated with different temperatures and two isolated walls. the numerical simulation is made up of several rayleigh numbers to . flow and isotherm lines are presented and analyzed. the numerical...

the compact finite difference schemes have been found to give simple ways of reaching the objectives of high accuracy and low computational cost. during the past two decades, the compact schemes have been used extensively for numerical simulation of various fluid dynamics problems. these methods have also been applied for numerical solution of some prototype geophysical fluid dynamics problems ...

existence of cracks in industrial structures is one of the important causes of their failure, especially when they are subjected to important axial compressive forces that might lead to buckling. therefore, it must be considered in stress analysis and designing and loading of such structures. in this paper, the buckling and post-buckling behaviors of stainless-steel cracked plates under axial c...

in this paper, the finite element analysis of stability problem of vehicle composite drive shafts subjected to torsional loading is studied. first, using the minimum total potential energy principle, the governing equations are derived and then they are solved by finite element method. the initial geometrical imperfection which is usually in the form of radial displacement, is taken into consid...
