Abstract
Purpose: The antigen binding fragments of camelids heavy chain antibodies are comprised in one single domain (VHH). The crystal structure of an isolated VHH indicated that it is a problate particle of 2.5 nm in diameter and ∼ 4 nm high, and has been referred to as a nanobody. The very close similarity of these molecules to human VHs illustrates the potential application of these novel products as an immunodiagnostic immunotherapeutic reagent. One of the key components in production, characterization and application of nanobodies in detection is the anti-nanobodiy HRP conjugate.
Materials and Methods: Here, we report high expression and purification of some nanobodies against tumor markers. The nanobodies genes were sub-cloned into a pSJF9 vector to over-express the protein coupled with fusion tags in E. coli TG1. The expressed nanobodies were purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). Described here is the preparation, purification and characterization of anti-nanobody antibody HRP conjugate for use in the various nanobody detection systems.
Results: Analysis by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting demonstrated the integrity of the purified nanobodies. Because of application of several biochemical modifications, the produced anti-nanobodies HRP conjugate have efficient sensitivity and specificity.
Conclusion: By setting the temperature, time and inducer reagent the nanobodies were produced in optimum yield. We concluded that the HRP conjugated anti-nanobody can detect nanobodies in various detection procedures with great sensitivity and accuracy.

Abstract
One of the most important concepts for all enterprises in every size and every sector is market performance. As the market success of the firm is a consequence of its market performance, it will be pertinent to state that performance is a direct determinant on the consequence. Today, dynamic capabilities have been identified as one of the vital necessities for the performance of organizations in turbulent environments. Given the critical role of market performance in turbulent competitive environments, this concept has attracted attention of many researchers of management science in recent years. So how to achieve this important consult for organizations is vital, and very little research has been done in this regard. Therefore, in this research, the model of improving market performance based on dynamic capabilities (IT competencies, entrepreneurial and market orientation and operational agility) is presented and tested in the electronics industry of Iran. This model is based on four management areas: strategic management literature related to dynamic capabilities, marketing literature, entrepreneurship, and information technology .The results confirm the research model. It can be concluded that the dynamic capabilities of the organization will help to improve market performance.

Abstract
In this research, the free vibration of a sandwich plate made of smart magnetostrictive face sheets and polymer composite core is studied. The effective elastic properties of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite are obtained by the rule of the mixture and micromechanical approach. A feedback control system follows the magnetization effect of Terfenol-D films on the vibration characteristics of a sandwich plate. Considering velocity feedback control gain value, the dimensionless frequency of sandwich plate can be changed to desired values due to magneto-mechanical coupling in magnetostrictive materials. The equations of motions are derived using Reddy’s third-order shear deformation theory, energy method, and Hamilton’s principle. The differential quadrature method (DQM) as a numerical method is used for calculating the vibration frequency of the sandwich plate. This numerical method presents the optimal results using weighting coefficients. The findings of this study show the effect of the vibration control system and geometrical properties of the composite sheet on vibration frequency of structures. These findings can be used in marine, aerospace, and civil industries.

Abstract
In the present study, solid particle erosion of Ti-6Al-4V alloy under multiple particles impact was investigated using finite element modeling. The erosive behavior of this ductile alloy has been simulated as a micro-scale impact model based on Johnson-Cook plasticity and failure equations. Erosive behavior is usually described by the volumetric erosion rate, which is introduced as the eroded volume ratio of alloy surfaces to the mass of the eroding particles. In this paper, the results of the finite element model were validated by comparing with results of typical erosion models. Then, effective factors on erosive behavior of alloy, such as impacting particles velocity, particles size, particles impact angle, temperature effects, and particles shape will be investigated. Results show that there is an exponential relation between particle velocity and erosion rate. Also, as particle size increases, the erosion rate increases at first and after a specific particle size, erosion rate presents a constant trend. The maximum erosion rate has been recorded at an impact angle of 40 degrees and a temperature of 473 Kelvin (average temperature of the middle stages of the compressor). It is shown that when spherical particles shape changes to the angular shape, the erosion rate increases more than four times.

Abstract
Nowadays, many attempts have been made to replace conventional materials with polymers which have the advantage of having less weight and higher formability. Polymers besides these advantages have some shortcomings. One method to overcome these shortcomings is to strengthen them by adding other materials to polymers. As an example, polymer nanocomposites are made by adding nanoparticles to polymers to enhance their tribological performance. In this paper, an experimental and numerical study on the correlation between temperature rise and the wear rate in the polyethylene (PE) with 10% ZnO nanoparticles has been investigated. A comparison between pure PE and polymer nanocomposite has been made. A 3D finite element model has been developed in Abaqus to study the wear in the contact of pin and the disk. The results predicted by the FE model are compared to the experimental data obtained in this research using the pin on disk test rig. According to the results, a non-linear relation between temperature changes and wear rate has been developed.

Abstract
In the present study, solid particle erosion of Ti-6Al-4V alloy under the impact of spherical alumina particles with a diameter of 85 microns was analyzed using experimental studies and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) modeling. The erosive behavior of this alloy was simulated as impacts on micro-scale and based on Johnson-Cook constitutive equations. This research focuses on the effect of particle velocity and impact angle on erosion rate as the most critical factors. Additionally, the results of this model are validated by empirical results under-considered conditions. At the end of the article, based on the alloy properties, the velocity of particles, and impact angle, a prediction equation was presented on erosion rate in the studied range of velocity and impact angle. This study indicates a power-law equation between the velocity of particles and the erosion rate, where the power is independent of impact angle. Furthermore, in all the velocity and angle ranges, the maximum erosion rate was associated with the angle of 45o. Therefore, the critical angle in erosion is also independent of the velocity of particles.
