in this study metal oxide nano powder namely nio nanopowder was prepared .the producedmetal oxide was characterized and used as potential adsorbent for the removal of pb and zn from aqueoussolution. the rate of uptake of the pb and zn are rapid in the beginning and the time required for equilibrium adsorption is 120 min .the time of equilibrium as well as time required to achieve a definite fra...

exogeneity and controllabillty of money is a basic assumption in neo-keynesian and monetarist analysis, as well as most contemprory economic macro-models. equilibrium path cattani & cavallo & khan model (j990)1 is employed, and pree & stienhe,2 model (j989) has been used for calculation of the real exchange rate unstability index. the results, indicate negative effects of real exchange rate dev...

The effective removal of dyes from aqueous wastewaters is among the most important issues formany industrialized countries. Removal of Congo Red (CR) dye from aqueous solutions was studiedusing nickel oxide nanoparticles. The operating variables studied were initial pH of solution,adsorbents dosage, temperature and contact time. The morphological information of nickel oxidenanoparticles were ch...

We have developed a sophisticated statistical model for predicting the hitting performance of Major League baseball players. The Bayesian paradigm provides a principled method for balancing past performance with crucial covariates, such as player age and position. We share information across time and across players by using mixture distributions to control shrinkage for improved accuracy. We co...

In the present paper, a new 2-D Van der Polstructural oscillator model is introduced for the vortex induced vibrations of circular cylinders.The main purpose of this task is to control the recently introduced model by means of modern control definitions in state space. In order to control the system, the whole model is linearized about its equilibrium point by deriving state-space matrices. The...

This paper develops a decentralized leader-follower game for network design of a competitive supply chain problem in which a new chain as the leader enters a market with one existing supply chain as a follower. Both chains produce an identical product, customer demand is inelastic and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity-based model. The leader wants to shape his network and set a...

the biosorption of hexavelent chromium from saline solutions by posidonia oceanica, a marinebiomass, was studied as a function of ph, initial chromium (vi) and salt (nacl) concentrations in batchsystem. the sorbent exhibited the maximal chromium (vi) uptake at ph 2 regardless of the presence ofincreasing salt concentration. equilibrium uptake increased with chromium (vi) concentration up to 250...
