Sulfur emission from coal combustion presents many environmental problems. The techniques used to reduce the amount of sulfur in coal before combustion, include physical, chemical and biological processes.Biological processes based on degradation of sulfur compounds by microorganisms offer many advantages over the conventional physical and chemical processes. The processes are performed und...

qoheston is a region in the southeastern khorasan which includes kashmar, tabas, ferdos, birjand, qaen, torbate haidarie, khaf and taibad cities. this region is surrounded by sabzevar and nishaboor from north, central desert from west, sistan and kerman from south and naomid plains from east. in addition to the geographical and climatic characteristics of the region the abundance of historical ...

Image denoising by block matching and threedimensionaltransform filtering (BM3D) is a two steps state-ofthe-art algorithm that uses the redundancy of similar blocks innoisy image for removing noise. Similar blocks which can havesome overlap are found by a block matching method and groupedto make 3-D blocks for 3-D transform filtering. In this paper wepropose a new block grouping algorithm in th...

A large amount of gas is emitted during underground mining processes, so productivity decreases and safety risks increase. Efficient methane drainage from the coal seam surrounding rocks in mines not only improves but also leads to higher productivity. Methane must be performed when ventilation air cannot dilute emissions mine a level below allowed limits. The cross-measure borehole method one ...

the statistical analysis of spatial data is usually done under gaussian assumption for the underlying random field model. when this assumption is not satisfied, block bootstrap methods can be used to analyze spatial data. one of the crucial problems in this setting is specifying the block sizes. in this paper, we present asymptotic optimal block size for separate block bootstrap to estimate the...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: regional anesthesia is widely used to perform different surgical procedures including those performed on the extremities . in this study, the anesthetic effects of adding intrathecal neostigmine or magnesium sulphate to bupivacaine in patients under lower extremities surgeries were assessed. materials and methods: in this double-blind ra...

introduction the investigated area is situated in the south west of the khorasan razavi province along the north west of the lut block. different types of metal ore bodies along with non-metal deposits have already been documented in the lut block (karimpour et al., 2008). most of the study area is covered with granitoid rocks. metamorphic rocks with unknown age are present in the north of the ...
