Abstract

This paper aimed to investigate the relation between the coherent states and the wavelets. So first the standard, generalized and nonlinear coherent states were reviewed and then their properties were presented. As an example of the nonlinear coherent states, the coherent states of a two-dimensional harmonic oscillator on a flat space were examined. Using the Dirac notation, the admissibility condition of the mother wavelets was studied. Then by means of the resolution of the identity of the generalized coherent states and the admissibility condition of the wavelets, a systematic method was presented to calculate the polynomial wavelets. At the end, as an illustrative example, the polynomial wavelets were constructed by using the nonlinear coherent states on a flat space.

Abstract

In recent decades optimal control problems with partial differential equation constraints have been studied extensively. These issues are very complex and the numerical solution of such problems is of great importance. In this article we will discuss the solution of elliptic optimal control problem. First, by using the finite element method we obtain to gain the discrete form of the problem. The obtained discrete problem is actually a large scale constrained optimization problem. Solving this optimization problem with traditional methods is difficult and requires a lot of CPU time and memory. But split Bergman method converts the constrained problem to an unconstrained problem, and hence it saves time and memory requirement. We then use the split Bregman iterative methods for solving this problem, and examples show the speed and accuracy of split Bregman iterative methods for solving this type of problems. We also use the SQP method for solving the problem and compare with split Bregman method.

Abstract

Periwinkle (Catharanthusroseus L.) is one of the most important medicinal plants that commonly used for its anticancer alkaloids. In this investigation, the effects of different tryptophan concentrations (0, 150, 250 and 350 mg/l) under in vitro regeneration conditions have been studied. The regeneration of different explants on different media compositions in free tryptophan condition showed that the best media conditions obtained by nodal segments explants grown on MS medium containing (BAP, 0.5 mg/l) + (NAA, 1 mg/l). Also, we achieved the rooting medial composition as half MS medium supplemented with (IBA, 0.1 mg/l). After adding of tryptophan into this optimal medium, the maximum shooting and rooting percentages were obtained in the media containing 250 and 350 mg/l tryptophan, respectively. Furthermore, the measurement of shoot and root length, dry and fresh weight of shoot, fresh weight of root, chlorophyll a and carotenoid content and also, soluble sugars content of shoot and root, revealed the best medium in the presence of 350 mg/l tryptophan, while the maximum amount of root dry weight and chlorophyll b were obtained by 250/l mg tryptophan containing medium. . Finally, the analysis of total proteins content of shoot and root showed significant difference between all groups and the higher content of this for shoots and roots observed in 250 mg/l and 350 mg/l, respectively.

Abstract

 The environmental pollution of harmful toxic metals is one of the important issues in the world today. Nickel is one of the toxic heavy metals which if enters into the human body in high concentrations it will cause skin allergy, heart disease and various cancers. Therefore, there is need to remove Nickel from industrial wastewater. The purpose of this study was firstly to remove nickel from aqueous solutions with synthesized activated carbon from carrot remains and secondly to investigate the effect of variations of the adsorbent particle sizes on the equilibrium time and the removal efficiency. For this purpose, adsorption of Ni (II) ions on the adsorbent was studied in a batch process. Firstly, the activated carbon was prepared from carrot remains with particle sizes between 37 and 300 micrometers. The results showed that the maximum absorption efficiency occurs (100%) at pH of 6. Moreover, it was shown that with decreasing the adsorbent size from 300 to 37 µm, the equilibrium time will decreases from 130 to 20 min. Experimental data was best fitted onto pseudo-second order model. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms equation were used to fit the adsorption isotherms. It is evident from this study that activated carbon is a suitable material for the uptake of Ni (II) from aqueous solutions.

Abstract

Effects of decreased ozone and increased UV radiation have been studied by many researchers. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of UV-B radiation on Melissa officinalis L. and to study the impact of salicylic acid and magnetic fields in reducing the harmful effects of radiation on plants. The Melissa officinalis L. plants were treated with 28_+2 Celsius temperature for about 60 days. The light intensity was 150 µ E mˉ² Sˉ¹ and the lightness-darkness condition was8-16 hours. UV treatment was applied after the six-leaf stage and UV-B radiation was applied for a period of 15 days, the time for each application was 20 minutes. Salicylic acid was sprayed on the plants after the six-leaf stage with a concentration of 1 mmol. Magnetic field treatment was applied for an hour with intensities of 0, 40 and 85 mT. The results indicated that the UV-B radiation led to reduction in dry and fresh weight, root elongation and shoots. The radiations also reduced the photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid) and sugar rate and soluble proteins amount. The phenylalanine ammonia-lyase compounds rate and UV-absorbing compounds were increased under the effect of UV-B radiation. The results showed that treatment with salicylic acid and magnetic fields caused a reduced damage to the plant which had been created due to UV-B radiation and were able compensate for changed factors that had been changed because of UV radiation.

Abstract

Free radicals especially various kind of active oxygens, with destruction of biomolecules such as DNA and proteins, are believed to be the cause of many cancers. In search for antioxidative reagents, it seems that use of natural antioxidants especially those from plants, are of special interest. Salvia leriifolia Benth, from Lamiaceae (syn. Labiatae) family, is a native plant of Iran ( North of Khorasan) and Afghanestan with significant applications in medicine, pharmacology, and food industry. The aim of current investigation, was to recognize the composition of essential oil of S. leriifolia and perform a comparative study on the antioxidant properties of the extracted essence from plants grown in two regions of Khorasan (Neyshabour and Bajestan). According to Gas Chromatography – Mass spectrophotometric analysis, 1,8 Cineole, &alpha-Pinene and &beta-Pinene, were main components of the essential oilAntioxidant activity of essential oil were measured by three different methods, TBARS and BCB (two lipid systems) and DPPH (aqueous system). Antioxidative properties of the essence in both former methods were higher than DPPH assay. It was found that the total essential oil and its pure constituents have a significant antioxidant effect when tested by each method, respectively. BCB assay was the most appropriate method for measurement of antioxidant activity. The antioxidant concentrations influenced its antioxidant power, too. The essence of plants collected from Neyshabour showed stronger antioxidative effect compared to those from Bajestan.

Abstract

Deltas of the most important morphological units are a tremendous effect on agricultural activities, mining, coastal management and etc. Despite appropriate soil and water resources deltas, are influenced by environmental phenomena such as climate change and sea level changes. The effect of these changes will appear on physico-chemical, mineralogical deposits. This study was conducted to analyze the Karkheh delta depositional environments based on the chemical characteristics of ancient sediments. Depositional environments and locations of core were identified using digital data processing, geomorphology mapping and initial visit of the area. The coring was carried out with rotary drilling machine and continuously to a depth of ten meters in jofeir and Rofayeh. Among The cores, 20 samples were selected for mineralogical and chemical tests. Differences in chemical and mineralogical characteristics revealed at least three major discontinuities exist between sedimentary layers to a depth of 10 m. In addition, thickness and type of the sediment are not same conditions and it changes depending on the stability of depositional environments. Increasing of Mg / Ca, magnesium and salinity, and reducing of clay particles, show Sedimentary environments trend is toward dry conditions and high energy environments at depths from 10 to 5 meters. In contrast, the depth of 5 to 4 and 3 to 0 meter this trend towards more humid climate and low energy environments. Therefore, it is concluded that the depositional environment of the Karkheh River delta at the upper Holocene is not constant, and this has led to changes in the delta.

Abstract

In this research, changes in structural geometry of thrusting of the Aghajari anticline on the Marun anticline in Dezful Embayment (SW Iran) have been studied based on seismic reflection data. These two anticlines have a NW –SE trends and thrusting of the Aghajari anticline on the Marun anticline is located in North of the study area. The Marun anticline with visible plunge is forming in the south of study area and 4 and 5 seismic profiles, and most of deformation is concentrated in Aghajari anticline. Also, Marun anticline has formed in the middle of the study area, but thrusts not formed in this part of anticline and maximum thrusting of Aghajari anticline on the Marun anticline is visible. There is a shallow thrust in south limb of two anticlines in northern part and an upper thrust from Gachsaran formation exposed from progressive deformation and finally a shallow thrust propagate to surface in both anticlines in the end of NW parts of study area and back thrusts separate from main shallow thrust in two anticlines. But unlike the Aghajari anticline, an upper thrust from Gachsaran formation propagates to surface with progressive deformation in the Marun anticline showing low depth of the Marun anticline.

Abstract

Marziyan granitic pluton is one of the numerous intrusive bodies in Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone. The pluton is composed of locogranite, granite and granodiorite and its contact metamorphic rocks are consisting of cordierite and andalusite schist. Tourmaline and garnet bearing locogranite, aplite, pegmatite, mylonite and injected migmatite are exposed in the metamorphic halo. The major minerals include quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar, biotite as well as muscovite, tourmaline and garnet. Structural studies indicate the presence of shear zones, especially in the southeastern parts with NNW-SSE trend. Four types of microstructures are present in the region 1) magmatic microstructures, 2) high temperature solid state microstructure, 3) low temperature solid state microstructure and 4) sub-mylonitic and mylonitic microstructure. All rocks of the region have been subjected to shear deformation which led the formation of S-C foliations and other sense of shear markers. The presence of asymmetric porphyroclasts and porphyroblast, biotite and feldspar kink bands, mica-fish mica and andalusite and domino and boudinaged structures of feldspar and tourmaline are evidences of ductile deformation in a contractional and dextral shear regime. All evidences indicate that high temperature solid state zones in greenschist facies to lower amphibolite conditions (300-500°C) have formed simultaneously with emplacement of granitic bodies. Low temperature solid state, sub-mylonitic and mylonitic zones developed following the emplacement of granitic bodies.

Abstract

Baladeh-Kojour earthquake of May 28th, 2004 is one of the largest earthquakes in vicinity of Tehran, occurred in the northern part of the Alborz range. In this research, spatial variation of fractal parameters has been studied to estimate the seismic pattern of the study area. In order to draw the spatial variation maps, b-value, correlation dimension of epicentral and temporal distribution of earthquakes, De and Dt have been calculated for the data sets of before and after the mainshock, separately. The results show that before the earthquake, these parameters have low values in the eastern side of the mainshock epicenter. It seems that these low values before the earthquake may arise due to clusters of events with larger magnitude and small events after it. Seismic rate has decreased in the surroundings of the mainshock (seismic quiescence). After the mainshock, the lowest values of b-value and Dt is seen in the epicentral and western part of the mainshock. These low values are due to aftershock clustering and stress release, took placed just after the mainshock and during the aftershock sequence. Intensity increasing is observed in the shake map of earthquake. The De parameter is low after the mainshock occurrence. Low b-value and high De indicate high level of seismic activity in the region. The obtained results show the fractal parameters sensitivity to spatial and temporal clustering of earthquakes. Therefore, these parameters can be used as an indicator for seismic precursory patterns of major earthquakes.

Abstract

One of the main goals in studying the time series is estimation of prediction interval based on an observed sample path of the process. In recent years, different semiparametric bootstrap methods have been proposed to find the prediction intervals without any assumption of error distribution. In semiparametric bootstrap methods, a linear process is approximated by a autoregressive process. Then the bootstrap samples are generated by resampling from the residuals.

In this paper, at first these sieve bootstrap methods are defined and then, in a simulation study sieve bootstrap prediction intervals are compared with a Standard Gaussian prediction interval. at last these methods are used to find the prediction intervals for weather data of Isfahan.

Abstract

Diffusion Processes such as Brownian motions and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes are the classes of stochastic processes that have been under considerations of the researchers in various scientific disciplines including biological sciences. It is usually assumed that the outcomes of these processes
are lied on the Euclidean spaces. However, some data are appeared in physical, chemical and biological phenomena that cannot be considered as the observations in Euclidean spaces due to various features
such as the periodicity of the data. Hence, we cannot analysis them using the common mathematical methods available in Euclidean spaces. In addition, studying and analyzing them using common linear statistics are not possible. One of these typical data is the dihedral angles that are utilized to identifying, modeling and predicting the proteins backbones. Because these angles are representatives of points on the surface of torus, it seems that proper statistical modeling of diffusion processes on the torus could be of a great help for the research activities on dynamic molecular simulations in predicting the proteins backbones. In this article, using the Riemannian distance on the torus, the stochastic differential equations to describe the Brownian motions and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes on this geometrical objects will be derived. Then, in order to evaluate the proposed models, the statistical simulations will be performed using the equilibrium distributions of aforementioned stochastic processes. Moreover, the link between the gained results with the available concepts in the non-linear statistics will be highlighted.

Abstract

Fractional derivatives and integrals are new concepts of derivatives and integrals of arbitrary order. Partial differential equations whose derivatives can be of fractional order, are called fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs). Recently, these equations have been under special attentions due to their most practical usages. In this paper, we survey a rather general case of FPDE, to obtain a numerical scheme, the fractional derivatives in the equation are replaced by common definitions such as Grundwald-Letnikov, Riemann-Liouville and Caputo, to improve the numerical solution, partial derivatives inside the equation are discrete using non-standard finite difference scheme. Then, we survey the stability of numerical scheme and prove that the proposed method is unconditionally stable. Eventually, in order to approve the theoretical results, we use presented technique to solve wave equation with fractional-order that is very practical and widely used in physics and its branches. Numerical results confirm the findings of the theory and show that this technique is effective.
