Abstract
In this paper, longshore sediment transport in littoral zones is investigated. For investigation of sediment transport in the nearshore zone, the effects of waves, currents and topographical conditions of coast are considered. Linear wave theory was used for the investigation of the wave behaviour. Governing equations of littoral current are continuity and momentum ones. For calculating concentraion profile of suspended sediments at depth, the convection-diffusion equations must be solved.
A computer program called “PLSTP” (Prediction of Sediment Transpornt in Littoral Zones) is developed for investigation of sediment transport process in littoral zones. The finite difference method is used for solving governing equations. The results show a good agreement between this model and the measurements available.

Abstract
Similar to random sea waves, forces on the offshore structures due to waves are random. These forces can be mainly divided into two components, namely, inline forces and transverse or lift forces. The random nature of lift forces is more complicated than that of inline forces and both should be combined for design purposes. In the present paper, two different approaches have been used to determine time series of lift forces. Along these lines, the determination of lift coefficients is discussed which have then been used to obtain transverse forces and compared with experimental data. The experimental data used in this study were collected at Delft Hydraulics Laboratory on a full-scale rough vertical cylinder.

Abstract
Quality control of textile products is an important stage in textile industries. To this end, the conventional method in fault detection is human inspection. In the present work, Wavelet transform was applied on images of simple circular knitted fabrics to diagnose five regular defects. The results showed that the method applied was accurate and fast in addition to being capable of determining fault position and dimensions. Therefore, the Wavelet transform method is suitable for online fault detection

Abstract
With progress in radar systems, a number of methods have been developed for signal processing and detection in radars. A number of modern radar signal processing methods use time-frequency transforms, especially the wavelet transform (WT) which is a well-known linear transform. The interference canceling is one of the most important applications of the wavelet transform. In Ad-hoc detection methods, the interference is firstly canceled and then a simple detector, like an energy detector, is
used. Therefore, we have used wavelet-based approaches to cancel the interference and then an energy detector has been employed. In this paper, it is shown that in practical cases where the performance of matched filter or near-matched filter is degraded, wavelet-based methods are more efficient. Also, we have shown that for cases where targets with slow radial velocity or one close to blind velocity are removed by the MTI filter, wavelet-based denoising has a better performance.

Abstract
An intensive experimental investigation was conducted to study the effect of vertical tail, single and twin (with different cant angles) on the flow field and the corresponding aerodynamic forces and moments of a model of a fighter A/C. Aerodynamic forces under different flight conditions and different vertical tail settings were measured in a supersonic wind tunnel. Furthermore, effects of vertical tail on the model wake at subsonic speed were investigated. In addition to the force and pressure measurements, schlieren system was used to visualize the shock formation and movement oat various locations on the model. The results show existence of a pair of symmetric vortices for the model equipped with a 22 degree vertical tail cant angle. The vortices burst symmetrically at moderate angle of attack. The drag coefficient increases with increasing cant angle at low to moderate alpha and decreases when alpha is further increased.

Abstract
In recent years, use of Sol-gel procedure for laboratory and industrial synthesis of Nanostructures and especially silica Nano-particles has increased. In this research, silica particles were synthesized by Sol-gel procedure and their physical properties were studied by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). Effect of structural modifiers on the morphology and diameter of Nano-particles was investigated. In addition, the reaction was carried out in the presence of ultrasonic waves in periods of 10, 30 and 60 minutes and the effect of these waves on different stages of reaction was studied by means of SEM. Finally, in this research, spherical particles of 50 to 80 nanometer sizes were synthesized and characterized. They can be very useful hosts for lanthanide complexes that can be used in drug delivery systems, radiotherapy, photoluminescence applications and manufacturing of special lasers. Also, different amounts of Lanthanum Nitrate hexahydrate were added to the mixture during the creation of Nano-particles. Then, Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) was produced for the study of ability of the Nanostructures in regulated delivery of drugs such as Lanthanides, and releasing of Lanthanides in 10 minute periods for 80 h was studied. Lanthanide concentration in SBF was also studied by means of Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP). According to the results of ICP, loaded Lanthanide was not released from the silica network. Loaded Lanthanides in the mesopores can be used in radiation, especially in cases of liver cancer.

Abstract
In this research, M-type Mn-Zr doped Ba-ferrites powders with a general chemical composition of BaFe10.6(ZrxMn1-x)O19 ( x= 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1) were synthesized and prepared by a solid state method, and were then mixed with anAraldite + hardner and processed into polymer matrix composite specimens. Phase analyses of synthesized samples wereperformed by an XRD technique and magnetic properties of the composite specimens were measured using a hysteresis graphsystem. EM absorbtion characteristics of the composite samples in the (8-12 GHz) frequency ranges were determined using aVNA system.Among the compositions investigated in the present work, the highest absorbtion of -11.25 dB accured in BaFe10.6Zr0.28Mn1.12O19 (x= 0.2) at a frequency of 8.4 GHz. Based on EM absorbtion behaviors and magnetic properties, BaFe10.6Zr0.28Mn1.12O19 is classified as a potential EM absorber material.

Abstract
In this research, TiAl/Al2O3 composite was synthesized from mechanically activated TiO2-Al powder mixtures using microwave heating.The initial powder mixtures were mechanically activated and pressed into cylindrical tablets and then heated in a microwave oven. The effect of different amounts of excess Al and microwave susceptor material (SiC or graphite) on the ignition time and the resultant reaction products were evaluated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis were used for characterization of the synthesized samples. XRD patterns revealed that when there was no excess Al in the initial powder mixture, the main resulting intermetallic phase would be Ti3Al with negligible amounts of TiAl, while with 10 wt% excess Al, TiAl phase could be formed in the composite product.The results also showed that microwave synthesis took place faster and more reproducible when samples were packed in the graphite powder than when placed between two SiC blocks.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes contain impurities and deamorphization is one of the methods of their purification. In this study, for the first time, a solution of piranha with a ratio of 3:1 (30 ml sulfuric acid + 10 ml hydrogen peroxide) as well as microwave irradiation with processing time of 30 minutes were used to remove amorphous carbon from the nanotube arrays. Ultrasonication was performed to disperse pristine and purified carbon nanotubes in water and centrifugation was performed to separate large particles. To assess the removal of amorphous carbon, new characterization methods such as dispersed percent and floating percent were used. It was observed that with increase in the ultrasonication time (from 0 to 50 minutes), the dispersed percentage of treated arrays was increased (about 47%), while the floating percentage of pure array decreased (about 20%). These results are ascribed to the removal of amorphous carbon. The results of the thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) were in good agreement with the results obtained from the newly proposed characterization methods.
