in islamic civilization, rhetoric is the product of a great attempt to find out the secrets of quranic language; nevertheless, the achievements of such studies have been mechanically applied to persian which, compared to arabic, has a different linguistic system and literary conventions. this approach has brought about problems in defining literary terms, internal rhythm being one of them. this...

Principles for determining moisture content and mass of individual peanut kernels by microwave resonator measurements are discussed, and data are presented showing the application of these principles. By measuring the shift in the resonant frequency and the change in the cavity transmission characteristics when a peanut is inserted into the cavity, it is possible to obtain the moisture content ...

To better understand the effects of biological soil crusts (BSCs) on soil moisture and wind erosion and study the necessity and feasibility of disturbance of BSCs in the Mu Us sandland, the effects of four treatments, including moss-dominated crusts alone, Artemisia ordosica alone, bare sand, and Artemisia ordosica combined with moss-dominated crusts, on rainwater infiltration, soil moisture, a...

Biomass, mainly in the form of wood, is the oldest form of energy used by humans. Gasification is a process of conversion of solid carbonaceous fuel into combustible gas by partial combustion. In the present study, a model developed by us in our earlier study is used for predicting the steady-state composition and rate of reaction profiles for the reduction zone of the downdraft biomass gasifie...

UNLABELLED The public health risk and economic impact of dampness and mold exposures was assessed using current asthma as a health endpoint. Individual risk of current asthma from exposure to dampness and mold in homes from W.J. Fisk, Q. Lei-Gomez & M.J. Mendell [(2007) Indoor Air, [corrected] 17, 284-296], and [corrected] asthma risks calculated from additional studies that reported the preval...

The electronics is protected using plastic or metallic enclosures. Although, the by enclosures from surrounding environment, moisture can still enter enclosure via gasket, walls, cable feedthroughs. existing inside may condense on PCBA components due to a temperature changes different levels and lead moisture-related failures. in also very dependent location heating of electronic components. Fu...
