1-type and biharmonic curves by using laplace operator in lorentzian 3-space arestudied and some theorems and characterizations are given for these curves.

solute transport processes are affected by soil pore water velocity distribution. pore size distribution, which can be used to infer pore water velocity distribution, can be estimated from a soil water retention curve (n). in this study, a solute breakthrough curve was simulated using soil hydraulic parameters in four different soils. to evaluate the proposed model, predictions were compared to...

varieties of st. john’s wort (hypericum perforatum l.) native to iran possess the largest percentage of hypercin in their leaves and flowers. isotherm curves show the relationship between the relative humidity and moisture content of the plant at a constant temperature. it is essential to understand the isotherms curves for successful storage and drying of the plant. this study used adsorption ...

Elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC) are new generations of public key cryptosystems that have a smaller key size for the same level of security. The exponentiation on elliptic curve is the most important operation in ECC, so when the ECC is put into practice, the major problem is how to enhance the speed of the exponentiation. It is thus of great interest to develop algorithms for exponentiation...
