With the development of technology, cloud calculation becomes a widely used technology and is regarded as the third IT revolution following the computers and the Internet. Cloud calculation benefits ordinary users to enjoy high-end IT services by making it turn into the real basic resources through IT technology, resource sharing and high concentration. While cloud calculation offers a variety ...

in the present work, the electronic properties of titanium were studied in three phases of α, β and ω using the density function theory (dft). the full potential augmented plane wave plus local orbital (flapw+lo) method was applied using the generalized gradient approximation. the calculated total energies showed that omega phase was more stable than the two other phases. the largest electrical...

BACKGROUND Avidity determination of antigen-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies is an established serological method to differentiate acute from past infections. In order to compare the avidity of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) IgG in pairs of serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples, we developed a new technique of avidity testing, the results of which are not influenced by the concent...

Sediment flushing of reservoirs is an operational technique, whereby previously accumulated sediments in the reservoirs are hydraulically removed by accelerated flow when the bottom desiltingoutlets of the dam are opened. In this research, the process of sediment flushing is simulated by a three dimensional numerical model in which sediment and flow interaction are reflected in the reservoirs. ...

Tissue metal accumulations (gills, liver, kidney and muscle) in Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) were compared folowing exposure to sublethal levels of waterborne Cd (50, 400 and 1000 μg•L-1) after periods of 1, 2, 4 and 14 days. The obtained results indicate that at the end of 4 and 14 days of exposure, total tissue cadmium concentration followed the pattern: liver > gill > kidney > muscl...

The complexation of sodium molybdate with para-sulfonatocalix [4] arene was studied in thetemperature range from 20 to 40 °C and pH = 5.8 by spectroscopic method in water solution. Thestability constants of complexes were calculated by the multiwavelength analysis of spectral datausing SQUAD program. The equilibrium constant, spectroscopic data, molar absorptivities andconcentrations of all spe...

The spin or nonspin state of electrons in W-doped anatase TiO2 is very difficult to judge experimentally because of characterization method limitations. Hence, the effect on the microscopic mechanism underlying the visible-light effect of W-doped anatase TiO2 through the consideration of electronic spin or no-spin states is still unknown. To solve this problem, we establish supercell models of ...

To evaluate worker's exposure to mixed solvents, equations for the calculation of the biological hazard index, which is defined as biological levels tolerable for exposure to mixture, were developed. When biological levels of exposure indicators were not affected by coexposure, rules similar to those for airborne monitoring could be applied. Namely, when the components had additive effects, the...
