Poly (ether-block-amide) /poly (ethylene glycol)/ carbon nanotubes mixed matrix membranes have been successfully fabricated using solvent evaporation method to determine the effect of ethylene oxide groups on the performance of produced membranes. The effects of CNTs (2-8 wt%) and PEG (up to 50 wt%)were investigated in both single and mixed gas test setup in different temperature and pressure. ...

phosphorus is an important nutrient for plant and microorganisms growth, thus has an important role in creating eutrophication of surface waters. the present study has investigated poly aluminum chloride efficiency on orthophosphate removal by coagulation and chemical precipitation process in municipal wastewater in west wastewater treatment plant. this bench scale study was performed on influe...

Real-time three-dimensional (3D) interactive displays refer to display devices servo to the line of sight of a user, allowing not only free head motion, but also potentially and importantly full body mobility. Ideally, one could wish for such capability to exist without the need to wear any viewaided device. However, unless a display system could be created in space, anywhere and anytime, a sim...

Within the context of tele-presence and immersion for piloting light aircraft, knowledge about the surrounding wind offers useful information for piloting purposes. Rendering wind in virtual simulation or telepresence application has been used still the early sixties [1] to enhance immersion. However since then it has been rather limited to use a fan in front of the user to produce an illusion ...

an analytical equation of state (eos) developed by ihm-song-mason (ism) has been applied tocalculate some thermophysical properties of molten polymers including poly (1-octene) (po), poly (vinylmethyl ether) (pvme), poly (vinyl chloride) (pvc), and poly (styrene) (ps). three temperature-dependentparameters of the ism eos have been determined based on the alternative scaling constants, dispersiv...

there are many occasions where the base of a robotic manipulator is attached to a moving platform, such as on a moving ship, terrain or space shuttle. in this paper a dynamic model of a robotic manipulator mounted on a moving base is derived using both newton-euler and lagrange-euler methods. the presented models are simulated for a mitsubishi pa10-6ce robotic manipulator characteristics mounte...

This supplemental document presents details concerning analytical derivations that support the theorems made in the main text “Spectral MLE: Top-K Rank Aggregation from Pairwise Comparisons”, accepted to the 32th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2015). One can find here the detailed proof of Theorems 2 4. 1 Main Theorems We repeat the main theorems as follows for convenience o...

colloids are small suspended particles in water which can not be settled or removed naturally due to their light weight and stability. these particles pose some degree of stability and cause water turbidity. there are some concerns regarding colloid removal efficiency in water treatment plants of iran. in this study, the effectiveness of aluminium sulfate and poly-aluminum chloride was evaluate...

in this paper, the optimal design of a three phase surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor has been done by particle swarm optimization and bees algorithm. this machine has been designed for high speed applications, and an epoxy and glass fiber bandage is used for permanent magnet protection against centrifugal forces. the optimization has been done by new design equations to improve...
