Today considerable consumer interest has risen towards the use of herbal hygienic and cosmetic products. Lavender oil is a well-known essence with uses in the treatment of alopecia, dandruff and scalp hair re-growth, as well as possessing antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal effects. Hence, this study was undertaken to formulate and assess the efficacy of a new clear liquid hair shampoo cont...

In this paper, we introduce a roots method that uses the roots inside the unit circle of the associated characteristics equation to evaluate the steady-state system-length distribution at three epochs (pre-arrival, arbitrary, and postdeparture) and sojourn-time distribution in GI/PH/1 queueing model. It is very important for an air base to inspect airplane oil because low-quality oil leads to d...

Our experiments on viscous fingering of air into oil contained between closely spaced plates reveal two selection rules for the fjords of oil that separate fingers of air. (Fjords are the building blocks of solutions of the zero-surface-tension Laplacian growth equation.) Experiments in rectangular and circular geometries yield fjords with base widths lambda(c)/2, where lambda(c) is the most un...

The objective of this paper is to investigate the impacts of implementation of the FTAA and China’s lower import tariffs on international trade of soybean oil, soybean meal, and soybeans. A two-commodity spatial model was formulated. The base model was calibrated to simulate the average level data of 1996, 1997, and 1998. Two alternative trade scenarios were simulated. The results indicated tha...

A typical crude oil supply chain consists of production oilfields, processing terminals, storage facilities and refineries, interconnected by means of pipelines. In processing terminals, different varieties of base crude-oils are received, processed and blended in order to produce commercial varieties which are exported and/or sent to refineries. In the last decade, very few contributions have ...

In this paper we present an approach which aims to support learners in general and environmental decision makers in particular, towards effective decision making in maritime environmental pollution via education and awareness of specific maritime environmental pollution policies. We build on previous work concerning the automatic construction of multiple-choice questions from ontologies (automa...

The paper presents a novel approach which aims to support the training of decision makers in maritime environmental pollution policies via an intelligent tutoring system that focuses on the automatic generation of self-assessment material. More specifically, the paper reports on the automatic construction of multiple-choice question tests from knowledge bases i.e. domain ontologies, instances, ...

In order to study the response of concentration and composition of essential oil of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) to cattle manure and nitrogen fixing bacteria, an experiment was conducted as factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete blocks design with twelve treatments and three replications at homand research station in Damavand of Iran in 2010. The factors were cattle...
