The concept of urban sprawl spans multiple dimensions indicating how built-up land cover adds up throughout exurban landscapes. These different require a re-examination definitions and their driving forces because certain policies were formulated from the proposition informed knowledge have implicitly gratified into adjoining peripheries. This article aimed to offer an alternative perspective o...

In this study, we aim to evaluate the shape memory effect of a Poly (Caprolactone) (PCL) (40%) and Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) (60%) blend. Shape cycle tests are performed at different temperatures detect best recovery rate. Under appropriate temperature, blend recovers substantially its original shape. To study rate evolution, multi realized with controlled temperature. The results indicat...

impact pile driving is a multi-component problem which is associated to multi-directional ground vibrations. at first, vibration is transferred from the hammer to the pile and then to the common interface of pile and soil. this is then transferred to the environment and has great impact on the adjacent structures, causing disturbance to residents and also damage to the buildings. it is of high ...

in this study at first , an azo dye, 2,7- naphthalenediol, 2-[(4-bromophenyl)azo (bpand) as a ligand has been synthesized by addition of p-bromoaniline to the modified montomorillonite k10 clay. this ligand was characterized using 1h-nmr, uv-vis and ir spectroscopies. subsequently, its interaction with calf thymus deoxyribonucleicacid ,ct-dna was investigated in 5 mm phosphate buffer solution, ...

In this work, a clear distinction is drawn between irreversibility associated with a finite mean driving force in a transport process and irreversibility associated with variance in the spatial and/or temporal distribution of this driving force. The portion of irreversibility associated with driving force variance is quantified via a newly defined dimensionless quantity, the equipartition facto...

Determining the driving forces of economic growth has a paramount importance in economic studies. Early studies suggested physical capital accumulation as the main driving force of growth. However, the recent studies try to resolve the flaws of neo classical school on growth by expanding the concept of capital equipment and machinery to a wider range of human knowledge, on one hand, and in...

Chaotic systems have complex reactions against an external driving force; even in cases with low-dimension oscillators, the routes to synchronization are diverse. We proposed a stroboscope-based method for analyzing driven chaotic systems in their phase space. According to two statistic quantities generated from time series, we could realize the system state and the driving behavior simultaneou...

Recently, we have isolated the rat (r) H(+)/organic cation antiporter multidrug and toxin extrusion 1 (MATE1) and reported its tissue distribution and transport characteristics. Functional characterization suggested that an oppositely directed H(+) gradient serves as a driving force for the transport of a prototypical organic cation, tetraethylammonium, by MATE1, but there is no direct evidence...
