A symmetric space is a Riemannian manifold that is “symmetric” about each of its points: for each p ∈M there is an isometry σp of M such that (σp)∗ = −I on TpM . Symmetric spaces and their local versions were studied and classified by E.Cartan in the 1920’s. In 1980 D.Ferus [F2] introduced the concept of symmetric submanifolds of Euclidean space: A submanifold M of R is a symmetric submanifold ...

background: the incomplete burning of fuel in engine of vehicles, evaporation of petrol from gas stations, and also car carburetor cause unburned hydrocarbons to be emitted in ambient air of cities and gas station locations. from unburned hydrocarbons; monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon influence to citizen's health and benzene is known as carcinogenic compounds. the objectives of this study are t...

the mixture of natural and artificial seismic sources with random distributions cause diffuse wave field with random amplitudes and phases called noise. when noise is analyzed in a long-term process, it contains surface waves which are spread in all directions. thus, ambient noise contains data relevant to the surface waves. in recent years, as broadband seismic networks have been distributed v...

This paper presents a novel method for fabricating nanopillar micropatterns for surface-directed liquid flows. It employs hybrid mask lithography, which uses a mask consisting of a combination of a photoresist and nanoparticles in the photolithography process. The nanopillar density is controlled by varying the weight ratio of nanoparticles in the composite mask. Hybrid mask lithography was use...

consumption of leaded gasoline in iran cause to emit lead compounds in ambient air of gasoline stations and is known to effect on workers health in these locations. the objectives of this study were assessment of ambient lead levels and blood lead levels of gasoline station workers in hamadan city, iran. for this purpose, 82 samples were obtained in ambient air of gasoline station locations. se...
