the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...

run-out-table (rot) is located between last finishing stand and down coiler in a hot strip mill. as the hot steel strip passes from rot, water jets impact on it from top and bottom and strip temperature decreases approximately from 800-950 °c to 500-750°c. the temperature history that strip experience while passing through rot affects significantly the metallurgical and mechanical properties, s...

چکیده پلاتین، فلزی نجیب، پایدار و گران قیمت با خاصیت کاتالیزوری زیاد است که کاربرد های صنعتی فراوانی دارد. کمپلکس های پلاتین(ii) به عنوان دارو های ضد سرطان شناخته شدند و در شیمی درمانی بیماران سرطانی کاربرد دارند. خاصیت کاتالیزوری و عملکرد گزینشی پلاتین مستقیماً به اندازه و- شکل ماده ی پلاتینی بستگی دارد. بعضی از نانو ذرات فلزی در سطح مشترک مایع- مایع سنتز شده اند، اما نانو ساختار های پلاتین ب...

abstract part one: the electrode oxidation potentials of a series of eighteen n-hydroxy compounds in aqueous solution were calculated based on a proper thermodynamic cycle. the dft method at the level of b3lyp-6-31g(d,p) was used to calculate the gas-phase free energy differences ,and the polarizable continuum model (pcm) was applied to describe the solvent and its interaction with n-hydroxy ...

over the past decades a number of approaches have been applied for forecasting mortality. in 1992, a new method for long-run forecast of the level and age pattern of mortality was published by lee and carter. this method was welcomed by many authors so it was extended through a wider class of generalized, parametric and nonlinear model. this model represents one of the most influential recent d...
