methoxy polyethylene glycol modified magnetite nanoparticles (pegmns) were synthesized and were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), vibrating sample magnetometer (vsm), and x-ray diffraction (xrd) . the adsorption of diazinon onto (pegmns) was investigated by uv spectrophotometry at 236 nm, through batch experiments. the effects of adsorbent dosage, solution ph, contact time, s...

a simple, rapid and sensitive method has been developed for determination of traces of tellurium (iv) (7.0-120.0 ng/ml) based on it’s catalytic effect on the reduction reaction of lauth’s violet by sulfide ion at ph 4.2. the reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance of lauth’s viole at 600 nm by the fixed time method. the detection limit is 5.0 ng/ml a...

Five methods that generate multiple prototypes from labeled data are reviewed. Then we introduce a new sixth approach, which is a modification of Chang’s method. We compare the six methods with two standard classifier designs: the 1nearest prototype (1-np) and 1-nearest neighbor (1-nn) rules. The standard of comparison is the resubstitution error rate; the data used are the Iris data. Our modif...
