Background & Aims of the Study: Corrosion and scaling play undesirable effects on transmission and distribution system of drinking water. The aim of this study was to assess the corrosion and scaling potential of drinking water resources in Babol city, Iran. Materials and Methods: Totally, 54 water samples were collected from 27 wells in spring and autumn. Calcium har...

We generalize the suggestion presented in arXiv:0806.3498 that the 3d N = 8 superconformal SU(N) Chern-Simons-matter theory of Lorentzian Bagger-LambertGustavson type (L-BLG) can be obtained through the scaling limit from N = 6 superconformal U(N) × U(N) Chern-Simons-matter theory of Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena (ABJM) to the case when we study the scaling limit of N = 6 superconfor...

Two experiments are reported in which linear separability was investigated in superordinate natural language concept pairs (e.g., toiletry-sewing gear). Representations of the exemplars of semantically related concept pairs were derived in two to five dimensions using multidimensional scaling (MDS) of similarities based on possession of the concept features. Next, category membership, obtained ...

Abstract In general, if the large deviation principle holds for a sequence of probability measures and its rate functional admits a unique minimizer, then the measures asymptotically concentrate in its neighborhood so that the law of large numbers follows. This paper discusses the situation that the rate functional has two distinct minimizers, for a simple model described by the pinned Wiener m...
