The exact solution of directed self-avoiding walks confined to a slit of finite width and interacting with the walls of the slit via an attractive potential has been recently calculated. The walks can be considered to model the polymerinduced steric stabilization and sensitized flocculation of colloidal dispersions. The large-width asymptotics led to a phase diagram different to that of a polym...

objective: in this study, we aimed to validate the accuracy of computed tomography-based attenuation correction (ctac) using the bilinear scaling method.methods: the measured attenuation coefficient (μm) was compared to a theoretical attenuation coefficient (μt ) using four different ct scanners and an rmi 467 phantom. the effective energy of the ct beam x-rays was calculated, using the aluminu...

abstract spatial variability of soils makes difficult analysis of soil water flow phenomena especially in a large area such as a watershed. using scaling methods is a solution in variability problems. the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the non-linear variability on performance of the scaling methods of richards’ equation for modeling infiltration in a watershed. the me...

Trichophyton rubrum is an anthropophilic fungi and has recently become the most common and widely distributed dermatophyte, isolated of man. The infection usually present as superficial scaling annular patches, but the lesions may involved the extensive area of skin.  A case of multiple cutaneous lesions due to T.rubrum with scaling annular patches and well marginated in much of the skin and in...

We present a technique that generates droplets using ultralow interfacial tension aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS). Our method combines a classical microfluidic flow focusing geometry with precisely controlled pulsating inlet pressure, to form monodisperse ATPS droplets. The dextran (DEX) disperse phase enters through the central inlet with variable on-off pressure cycles controlled by a pneuma...

We describe a multireference configuration interaction method that takes advantage of local correlation methods in both the internal ~originally occupied! and external ~originally unoccupied or virtual! orbital spaces. In the internal space, implementation of local correlation is trivial and involves neglecting configurations having simultaneous excitations out of widely separated orbitals. In ...

We solve analytically the ellipsoidally expanding fireball hydrodynamics with source terms in the momentum and energy equations, using the non-relativistic approximation. We find that energy transport from high pt jets of gluons to the medium leads to a transient, exponential inflation of the fireballs created in high energy heavy ion collisions. In this transient, inflatory period, the slopes ...

Introduction: Corrosion and scaling of water in distribution systems in spite of imposing economic and aesthetic problems can lead to adverse effects on consumers' health. The present study was conducted to evaluate the corrosion and scaling of water distribution system of Sarableh city (Ilam, Iran) during summer and winter seasons in 2014. Materials and methods: Totally, 60 samples of wate...

Introduction:  The  advent  of  dual-modality  PET/CT  scanners  has  revolutionized  clinical  oncology  by  improving lesion localization and facilitating treatment planning for radiotherapy. In addition, the use of  CT images for CT-based attenuation correction (CTAC) decreases the overall scanning time and creates  a noise-free  attenuation  map  (6map).  CTAC  methods  include  scaling,  s...

The effects of three different mixers, two different feeding orders and nanoclay content on the structure development and rheological properties of PE/nanoclay nanocomposite samples were investigated. Fractional Zener and Carreau–Yasuda models were applied to discuss the melt linear viscoelastic properties of the samples. Moreover, scaling law for fractal networks was used to quantify clay disp...
