Abstract
Nowadays, investigating and researching on energetic polymers in order to increase mechanical, thermodynamic, and detonational properties of them have been highly regarded. One of these energetic polymers is GAP. In this paper, molecular dynamics simulation has been used to compare the properties of GAP and GTP energetic polymers. GTP, in principle is the modified form of GAP, in which functional group of triazolium methyl nitrate has been added instead of azide. The mechanical properties of GAP is a challenging topic in the field of energetic materials. Due to the attributes of the 3 azoliom methyl nitrate ring, the mechanical and thermodynamic properties of GTP are expected to be higher than GAP. The results obtained by molecular dynamics simulation showed that GTP is a stable material and its mechanical properties such as Young, and shear modulus compared to GTP have been decreased 27% and 32% respectively, and bulk modulus, Poisson coefficient, and K/G ratio compared to GTPhave been increased 17%, 42%, and 71% respectively. It was also found that the detonation speed, detonation pressure, and oxygen balance of energetic polymer compared to GAP, have been increased 5%, 14%, and 21% respectively. As a result, usage of GTP will increase as a modified GAP material in applications such as clean and chlorine-free propellants for the solid propellant rockets and also safety systems of automobiles.

Abstract
Simile and metaphor are two stylistic devices whose translations are always difficult, for their relationship basis is like the relationship between two entities.
Since the cultural themes in simile and metaphor and the relationship between them in the target language are not necessarily the same as in the source language, somehow, this relationship needs to be reflected in the translation. In this study, first, the translations of simile and metaphor were studied, then, by looking at the two French translations of the Quran from Muhammad Hamidullah and Albert Kasimirski, the manner of translatability of the "similes" and "metaphors" existent in the selected verses was studied in a comparative way. The purpose of this research is to study different ways of these arrays translations in the Holy Qur'an. In the context of this article, from among the verses, 10 verses were given as examples and the results of the research outcome showed that two translators, from among different translation methods, to maintain the great meaning of the Qur'an, made more use of literal translation in transferring the two arrays to maintain the form in addition to the meaning, but in the face of the verses having elements with a cultural burden, also made use of explanations.

Abstract
A variety of numerical methods were developed for the wave propagation analysis in the field of structural health monitoring. In this framework, meshless methods are suitable procedure for the analysis of problems such as damage initiation and its propagation or the fracture of materials. In this study, Hermit-type radial point interpolation method (HRPIM) is investigated for the numerical modeling of flexural wave propagation and damage quantification in Euler-Bernoulli beams using MATLAB. This method employs radial basis function (RBF) and its derivatives for interpolation which leads to Hermitian formulation. The evaluation of performance and capability of HRPIM is based on the comparison between the captured HRPIM ang benchmark signals using the root mean square error (RMSE) and reflection ratio from damage. The algorithm of damage quantification is the analytical solution which relates the reflection ratio to the damage extent. In this study, Gausian-type RBF is utilized and the number of field nodes, the size of support domain, shape parameters of RBF, the number of polynomials in the interpolation formula, the arrangement of background cells and the number of Gaussian points in damage length are the effective parameters on results. Based on the evaluation, the acceptable values and range of theses parameters are presented for correct modeling.

Abstract
Considering the widespread use of oils in the preparation of foods, controlling the amount of ingredients in edible oils that can be problematic for human health is extremely important. Due to the complex matrix of oils, analysis of the different compounds in them is usually not possible without isolating and removing the matrix effects. In this regard, a variety of extraction and isolation methods are presented by researchers. Therefore, in this paper it has been tried to introduce in detail the most important extraction methods used in the analysis of edible oils and how they are applied.

Abstract
RCCI as low temperature combustion is one of the common methods for reducing nitrogen oxides and soot pollutants. In this study, the effect of exhaust gas recirculation on combustion and emission of an RCCI engine, fueled with diesel and CNG was investigated. The investigated engine is a single-cylinder engine with diesel direct injection to the combustion chamber as high-reactivity fuel and a port fuel injection of CNG fuel as low-reactivity fuel. The start of injection, the injection shape, and the injection duration of both injectors are controlled by the developed ECU. Since the engine tested has good stability in the premix ratio of 60% and is capable of operating with high EGR percentage, it was selected for investigation. The results of this study show that with an increase of the exhaust gas recirculation rate from 0 to 34%, the amount of IMEP and thermal efficiency decrease by about 18%. As the EGR increases, the start, middle, and end of the combustion are delayed due to the decrease in oxygen content inside the combustion chamber. With the increase of EGR, the temperature of the combustion chamber decreased so that increasing CO and UHC production, showing an increase of 86 and 300%, respectively, while NOx decreases by 350%.
