The average scattered intensity is determined by the optical characteristics of particles in dispersion. The normalized time auto-correlation function of the scattered light intensity g (τ ) includes both the optical and hydrodynamic information of particles. From the different characteristics of particles, the particle sizes can be obtained. In this paper, three sizes: the static radius Rs, th...

The performance of a hybrid solar desalination system is predicted in this work using an enhanced prediction method based on supervised machine-learning algorithm. A humidification–dehumidification (HDH) unit and single-stage flashing evaporation (SSF) make up the system. Al-Biruni Earth Radius (BER) Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms serve as foundation for suggested Using experiment...

conclusions this study did not show that distal radius anatomical indices including the radial height, radial inclination, ulnar variance and volar tilt influence perilunate fracture dislocation as risk factors. background distal radius radiographic indices may play a role as risk factors in pathogenesis of kienbock’s disease, scaphoid fracture and non:union:. perilunate fracture dislocations a...

We present evidence for photometric transits of the low-mass planet HD 97658b across the disk of its host star, an early K dwarf. This planet was previously discovered in radial velocities (RVs) from Keck/HIRES as part of the Eta-Earth Survey. Using photometry from the Automated Photometric Telescopes at Fairborn Observatory, we detected four separate planetary egress events at times predicted ...

Multi-spectral data from the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the Terra spacecraft are used to derive cloud optical thickness and effective particle radius using the algorithm of Nakajima and Nakajima (1995). Microphysical cloud properties are retrieved during strong aerosol events from biomass burning to better understand the actual effects of cloud-aerosol interac...
