background : the aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of water ozonation on disinfection by-product formation. methods : experiments were carried out on samples taken from tajan river, mazandaran province, iran. samples of the pre-filtered raw water and from the 3.5-l water tank reservoir (wt) were analyzed for uv-254 absorbance, dissolved organic carbon (doc), hs and non-hs, chlor...

in this work, we consider each normal alkane as a hypothetical mixtureof methyland methylene groups, in which the interaction potential of each pair is assumed to be the average effective pair potential. then, the lir equation of state (eos) is extended for such a hypothetical mixture. also, three basic compounds, namely, propane, n-butane and cyclohexane, are used to obtain the contribution of...

High speed and absence of a precise control over pressure distribution confine sheet Electromagnetic Forming into a die to simple shapes having shallow depth. It is possible to reach a higher depth by using a convex punch instead of a concave die. In this study, sheet Electromagnetic Forming on a punch and sheet Electromagnetic Forming into a die are investigated. The electromagnetic part of th...

In this paper,&#10 the application of evaporative cooling for refrigeration cycle to reduce power consumption in hot climates is emphasized. Experimental and analytical investigations were performed in order to specify the effect of evaporative cooling condenser instead of the commonly used air cooling condenser in window-air-conditioners. Evaporative condenser can reject more heat, thereby pre...

potato is one of the main crops which is suffering from the great losses in storage and the most conventional method of its tuber rot is using hazardous chemicals. using antimicrobial potential of lichens can be one of the safe, green, environment friendly methods for plant diseases management. in this study, antimicrobial activity of acetone, methanol, chloroform extracts of ramalina capitaat,...

We discuss the forward and inverse problems between the potential V (x) measured in a heart chamber and its sources represented by a dipole density d(y) located on the heart wall. We show that the mapping from d(y) to V (x) is a compact integral operator. Its inverse is unbounded which makes the inverse problem ill-posed in the mathematical sense. We investigate methods to solve the inverse pro...

We study political distortions that emerge in situations where agents’ political power is disproportionate with respect to their economic power. We use the Shapley value to evaluate both the economic and the political power. We show that usual weighted majority voting cannot prevent political distortions from emerging in a huge mass of situations. Distortions are less severe if partners can lea...
