Mono-Size Distribution Index (MSDI): A new criterion for the quantitative description of size distribution
Authors
Abstract:
Graphical size distribution is widely used in different fields of science and studies related to powders, droplets, bubbles, and pores. However, in some condition it may also be necessary to express the size distribution quantitatively. In spite of there being several suggested ways to quantify size distribution in the literature, some of these approaches are not applicable for many methods and the rest have other drawbacks. In this study, first, some quantitative size distribution methods (such as the polydispersity index) and their defects are concisely discussed. SPAN seems to be the most generally appropriate method, its parameters are determined from cumulative size distribution data. Nevertheless, some specific results imply that there are still some drawbacks in this method. Next, a new quantitative description of size distribution is presented which is applicable to many different techniques. In this method the characterization value is limited to 0 and 1, where 0 is related to completely polydispersed size distribution and 1 denotes the completely monodispersed size distribution.

A New Index for Quantitative Assessment of Distribution Network Resilience in the Presence of Distributed Generations
Resilience is defined as the system ability to keep an acceptable performance level against a sever disturbance and to return to a stable condition in a suitable time. Occurrence of inconvenient weather conditions and natural disasters, which are growing in number and severity during the last years, has always led to damages and wide outage throughout the distribution network. Therefore the ass...

Reliable estimation of the porous membranes neck-pore size distribution (NPSD) is the key element in the design and operation of all membrane separation processes. In this paper, a new approach is presented for reliable of NPSD of porous membranes using wet flow-state bubble point test data. For this purpose, a robust method based on the linear regularization theory is developed to extract NPSD...

The use of classical, or time-averaged, light scattering methods to characterize the size and size distribution of macromolecules in dilute solutions or particles in dilute dispersions is discussed. The necessary scattering relations are presented systematically, starting with three cases at infinite dilution: the scattering extrapolated to zero angle, the scattering at small angle, and the sca...

—Proportional size distribution (PSD) indices are convenient measures for numerically summarizing size structure of fish populations. Several novel methods for analyzing PSD index data were examined as a means for potentially improving inferences of size structure: generalized linear mixed modeling, calculation of location quotients, and simultaneous construction of 100(1 a)% confidence interva...
full textA new parametrization of the rain drop size distribution
This paper revisits the problem of nding a parametric form for the rain drop size distribution (DSD) which 1) is an appropriate model for tropical rainfall, and 2) involves statistically independent parameters. Using TOGA/COARE data, we derive a parametrization which meets these criteria. This new parametrization is an improvement on the one that was derived in [3], using TRMM ground truth data...
