This study was an attempt to explore the reading strategy use of Iranian M.A. students across three different fields of study. Eighty-two M.A. students of power engineering, physics, and communicationwere selected by a Nelson test and the reading comprehension section of a TOEFL. The reading comprehension section of the TOEFL served also as a specific task which helped participants report their...

Physical systems characterized by a shallow two-body bound or virtual state are governed at large distances continuous-scale invariance, which is broken to discrete one when three more particles come into play. This symmetry induces universal behavior for different systems, independent of the details underlying interaction, rooted in smallness ratio $\ell/a_B \ll 1$, where length $a_B$ associat...

By the past two decades IPMCs have been intensively studied because of their special capabilities for actuation and sensing.This paper presents a theoretical physics based model for analyzing the behavior of IPMC sensors in fluid environments. The mechanical vibration of the IPMC strip is described by the classical Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. The model also takes in to account the physical pro...

25 years of regular publishing Iranian Journal of Physics Research has been publishing since 1996. We are giving a short report on this experience and the progress of IJPR.
