Characterizing films of polyethylene blends: An application of colorimetric parameters measurements

This study reports an application of instrumental color measurement for quantifying and comparing the optical properties of high density polyethylene HDPE and low density polyethylene LDPE blend films and the effect of blending ratio and miscibility on these properties. The technique of spectrophotometry in transmission and reflectance modes can be used as a versatile tool to evaluate the color...

Characterizing Global Minimizers of the Difference of Two Positive Valued Affine Increasing and Co-radiant Functions

‎Many optimization problems can be reduced to a problem with an increasing and co-radiant objective function by a suitable transformation of variables. Functions, which are increasing and co-radiant, have found many applications in microeconomic analysis. In this paper, the abstract convexity of positive valued affine increasing and co-radiant (ICR) functions are discussed. Moreover, the ...

Ferrite material Characterization Using S-Parameters Data

ince many applications rely on the knowledge of the electromagnetic material properties of ferrites, such as ferrite phase shifters, this paper presents an algorithm for characterizing ferrite materials in a single frequency using a rectangular waveguide system. In this method, the extraction of ferrite parameters is implemented through minimizing the difference between the measured data and th...

On Semantics for Characterizing Sentences∗

The paper presents semantics for a subset of generics, so-called “characterizing sentences”. It is argued that claims about the relationship between the truth of characterizing sentences and claims about the distribution of properties among individuals can be viewed independently of considerations about logical form. Some extant approaches are presented and criticized, and a positive analysis o...

Assessment of soil property spatial variation based on the geostatistical simulation

The main objective in the present study was to assess the spatial variation of chemical and physical soil properties and then use this information to select an appropriate area to install a pasture rehabilitation experiment in the Zereshkin region, Iran. A regular 250 m grid was used for collecting a total of 150 soil samples (from 985 georeferenced soil pits) at 0 to 30, and 30 to 60 cm layers...
