Condolences:
                for Martyrdom of Imam Ali

Imam Ali^(PBUH): "All piety and devoutness stands between two statements: 1 - never regret for what you have lost, 2 - do not exult for what you have gained". 

Imam Ali^(PBUH): "Infuse your heart with mercy, love and kindness. ... Grant people your pardon and your forgiveness to the same extent that you hope God will grant you pardon and forgiveness".

Imam Ali^(PBUH) was born inside Kaaba sanctuary in Mecca. He was raised in the household of the prophet of Islam. When Muhammad^(PBUH) reported receiving a divine revelation, Ali^(PBUH)  was the first male to accept the message. He dedicated his life to the cause of Islam. He has been respected for his courage, knowledge, belief, honesty, unbending devotion to justice, equal treatment of all people, generosity in forgiving his defeated enemies and deep loyalty to the message of God.

Keyhan Special Interview:

University specialization  
     for research development

November 11, 1987 

 

This interview is in persian. For more information please see Persian version.

The role and importance of research in various communities, particularly Iran, is a clearly known issue without any need to mention. Stability and flourishing of research in its true position requires sustained effort of all those especially involved in investigation affairs. These efforts will not bear fruits unless all facilities, human resources, etc. is evaluated and assistance and coordination of all centers that actively participate in different areas of research activity support this endemic movement.

Celebration:

Distinguished Professor

Professor S.K. Sadrnezhaad of Sharif University of Technology was amongst those received National Distinguished Professorship Award of the academic year 2007-2008 from the I.R. Iran President.

The ceremony was held in Shahid Beheshti Hall of the presidential organization in May 1, 2008.

Knowledge and wisdom are the greatest gift of God to human beings and teachers are bright lights for human conduct. The first teacher is God and the messenger of God excelled all teachers and as great imam declared "teaching is the job of prophets".

Praise God for your continuous efforts resulting your obtaining of the national distinguished professorship title.

Fabrication of NiO Nanoparticles and Chip-Like Nanoflakes by Solvothermal Technique

US 2009/0324486 A1

December 31, 2009

A method is disclosed for fabrication of NiO nanoparticles and NiO chip-like nanoflakes by solvothermal technique. Mixed organic alcohols were used as solvent to make a homogenous solution from a nickel containing complex for production of NiO nanoparticles and chip-like nanoflakes. The solution was heated in a sealed flask sitting inside a warm furnace. The precipitate was filtered, rinsed, dried and calcined to produce nanoparticles or nanoflakes.

Vol. 36, No. 7, 2010, Pages 2241–2245

The influence of milling and subsequent annealing on formation, microstructure and magnetic properties of nickel-ferrite phase are discussed in this paper. It is shown that single phase nanosized nickel-ferrite is obtainable by 30 h mechanical alloying (MA) and subsequent annealing at 600 °C for 1 h.
