abstract nowadays, measuring water quality is very important for comprehensive management of water resources. suspended sediment is one of the most important water quality factors which greatly affects environment health. however, its measurement needs too much time and money. it was therefore tried in the present study to assess the applicability of modelling relationship between suspended sed...

This paper presents the analysis, design and experimental evaluation of miniaturized magnetoelastic tags using frame-suspended hexagonal resonators. Magnetoelastic tags—also known as acousto-magnetic or magnetomechanical tags—are used in wireless detection systems—for example, electronic article surveillance and location mapping systems—that electromagnetically query the resonant response of th...

Nickel (Ni) is a common and potentially toxic heavy metal in many fluvial ecosystems. We examined the potentially competitive and complementary roles of suspended sediment and a dissolved organic ligand, humate, in affecting the partitioning and toxicity of Ni to a model organism, Daphnia magna, in both batch and stream-recirculating flume (SRF) tests. Sediments included a fine-grained deposit,...

soil erosion causes sediments to be detached from their source materials and transported as suspended particles. the present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of sand exploitation on the distribution of suspended sediments in the educational and research forest watershed of tarbiat modares university, which comprises approximately 50,000 ha. fifty-one water samples were collected befo...

air pollution in industrial and urban areas is one of the most important problems of environment which endangers humans' health; an example of these pollutants is the suspended particles in the air that with the increase of 10 in the air, the rate of mortality increases by 1 to 3 precent. this study was done during three seasons by determining ten sampling stations in each season and according ...

the effluent quality of a sewage treatment plant using activated sludge process and finally secondary treatment depends on the flocculation efficiency and settling of the flocs. the survey of various treatment processes in water and wastewater treatment shows that temperature and ph are the important factors affecting efficiency of flocculation and settling properties. this study was performed ...

air pollution in large cities is very important from health and economic points of views. in a city, air pollution has direct relationship with the topography, climate, population, economic situation and the degree of industrialization. therefore, for a survey about kerman's air pollution, 13 stations were chosen for determination of so2, no2 and co, and 14 stations to assess concentration of s...

PURPOSE To evaluate the size and shape of commercially available polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles and to determine whether they change in size when suspended in nonionic contrast and in a solution of nonionic contrast and absolute alcohol. METHODS The two-dimensional area and the long and short axis of PVA particles from several different vendors were measured using a light microscope attach...
