among various reported membrane-based gas separation processes, the best explanation is generally achieved by the solution-diffusion model. the main factors in this model are the solubility and diffusivity of permeationcomponents through the membrane. the prediction of permeability and diffusivity in multicomponent gas permeation as well as the separation evaluation equilibrium and kinetic inte...

liquid-liquid equilibria for the (water + lactic acid + benzyl alcohol or p-xylene) ternary systems were investigated at atmospheric pressure and in the temperature range from 298.15-318.15 k. the studied systems exhibit two types of liquid-liquid equilibrium (lle) behavior. the system consisting of benzyl alcohol displays type-1 lle behavior, while a type-2 behavior is exhibited by the other s...

abstract land surface hydrological models has importance in the determination of soil moisture and temperature, the rate of evapotranspiration, stream flow by emphasis on the land surface physical and dynamic process descriptions. in this research, vic land surface hydrological model has been used for the land surface temperature and stream flow determination. the vic runoff simulation in each ...

objective: poverty alleviation is an essential step to achieve economic development. this is why identification exercise is so crucial. traditionally, different aspects of insecurities have not be taken into poverty measurement. many types of insecurities have adverse impacts on household welfare. identifying vulnerability of household can serve identification of the poor households. methodolog...

objective: this study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of education based of the cognitive, metacognitive, and behavioral model on the reduction of meta-worry beliefs in patients with social anxiety disorder (sad). methods: the research was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design and a control group. the statistical population comprised all patients with sad referr...

objective: the main objective of this research was estimation of genetic parameters for five consecutive measurements of egg weights in isfahan fowl using multi trait model and random regression models. methods: the statistical models included generation-hatch as a fixed effect, weeks of age as a covariate and additive genetic and individual permanent environmental effects as random effects. th...

local scouring around bridge piers is a natural phenomenon caused by the erosive process of flowing stream on alluvial beds. the 3d flow field around bridge piers interacting with the bed materials increases complexity of local scour process. the local scour depth develops in accelerated flows and if it is not predicted correctly, the bottom level of local scour hole will exceed the original le...

one of the models that can be used to study the relationship between boolean random sets and explanatory variables is growth regression model which is defined by generalization of boolean model and permitting its grains distribution to be dependent on the values of explanatory variables. this model can be used in the study of behavior of boolean random sets when their coverage regions variation...

control of sedimentation in dam reservoirs is considered to be one of the most important issues in exploitation of dams and increasing the their useful life. reservoirs act as traps for sediments and prevent transport of sediment to the river. the deposited sediment decreases the capacity of reservoirs so that they can not be in use any more. various methods dealing with removing part of the de...

drying characteristics of quercus were determined experimentally as a function of temperature, air velocity, and variety (quercus persica and quercus libani). in order to estimate and select a suitable drying curve, five different thin layer drying models were fitted to the experimental data. experiments were performed at the air temperatures of 50, 60 and 70°c. at each temperature level, two a...
