Objective(s): To improve water stability of electrospun chitosan/ Polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers, genipin, a biocompatible and nontoxic agent, was used to crosslink chitosan based nanofibers.  Materials and Methods: Different amounts of genipin were added to the chitosan/PEO solutions, chitosan/PEO weight ratio 90/10 in 80 % acetic acid, and the solutions were then electrospun to form nano...

efficiency of enzymes which are used in industrial or environmental applications is highly dependent on their thermal stability. in this study, the stability of dfpase has been evaluated after introducing disulfide bonds to the structure. the results obtained from a series of protein design software were subjected to molecular dynamics simulation at different temperature to test the performance...

using the density functional theory (dft) level by means of 3-21g, 6-31g and 6-31+g (d) basissets, the structural optimization of isolated pyrazole and pyrazoline was done in the gas phase. then,the calculation about the solvent effect on the stability energies of pyrazole and pyrazoline wasperformed for the ten solvents using pcm model method at b3lyp/6-31+g(d) and then the dielectriceffects o...

We study in this article the large time asymptotic structural stability and structural evolution in the physical space for the solutions of the 2-D NavierStokes equations with the periodic boundary conditions. Both the Hamiltonian and block structural stabilities and structural evolutions are considered, and connections to the Lyapunov stability are also given.

this study aims at testing the degree of stability for beta coefficient across time, depending on the information available from tehran bourse. where beta coefficient was calculated using the market model developed by sharp on 1963, which applies by performing a simple linear regression between the company’s and the market returns, where beta coefficient is the slope of this regression. in this...

in the past, rock slope stability analysis were performed either graphically or using a hand-held calculator, but nowadays there are variety of slope stability analysis which can be used according to the field condition and potential failure mode. in 2-d analysis, effect of convex and concave walls are neglected, however concave slopes are believed to be more stable than straight walls due to t...
