A Simple Method for Estimating Particle Numbers Using a Laser Diffractometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hitherto the method of laser diffraction has been used only for determining particle size distribution (PSD) of mixtures. This paper presents an extension of that measurement approach to include the determination of the number of particles. The described method may find practical application in a variety of disciplines, including biology (e.g. for determination of population sizes of microand mesofauna), agricultural sciences (e.g. with relation to the study of soils), and Earth science (e.g. with relation to sediments and lands), among

A matrix method for estimating linear regression coefficients based on fuzzy numbers
In this paper, a new method for estimating the linear regression coefficients approximation is presented based on Z-numbers. In this model, observations are real numbers, regression coefficients and dependent variables (y) have values for Z-numbers. To estimate the coefficients of this model, we first convert the linear regression model based on Z-numbers into two fuzzy linear regression mode...
متن کاملDESIGN OF A SIMPLE LASER SYSTEM FOR NEPHELOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF ANIONS
A simple analytical system suitable for nephelometric measurements is introduced in this article. The electronic and optical components are simplified so that the apparatus is easily assembled from materials that are generally available. This instrument is designed for the efficient measurement of anions, and microgram quantities of ions may be determined by a convenient method of titration...
متن کاملLASERS WITHOUT INVERSION: DENSITY OPERATOR METHOD
A quantum theory of a two and three-level laser with injected atomic coherence is developed by using a density operator method, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time. The initial atomic coherence plays an essential role. At steady state, the equation of motion for the density operator yields to exhibit laser without inversion and a phase locking but no threshold for the laser fie...

Damage of the normal tissue is a serious concenrn in cancer treatment. Hyperthermia by laserhas been considered as a safe cancer treatments methods with lower harmful effects on normaltissues. Using nanoparticles in cancer treatment has improved laser therapy, which is based ona selective cell targeting method to localize cell damages. Metallic nanoparticles such as gold,silver, and copper have...
متن کاملDetermination of soil aggregate disintegration dynamics using laser diffraction
A new practical and precise method for determining soil aggregate stability is described. Four air-dry aggregate fractions (<0.25, 0.25 0.5, 0.5 1.0 and 1.0 2.0 mm) were added to thoroughly stirred water in a Mastersizer 2000 laser diffractometer. The suspension obtained was passed directly through the measuring system. The dynamics of median (equivalent diameter d50) particle-size distribution...
