This study focuses on the application of nanostructured Mg-Al layered double hydroxide as a promising adsorbent in desulfurization of dibenzothiophene, an aromatic sulfur bearing compound from gasoil model. The Mg-Al LDH was synthesized by a co-precipitation method and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, EDX and SEM. The XRD and FT-IR approved the layered structure and crystalline form of the adsorben...

We study a hierarchical approach for modeling deformable necklaces. A recent paper by Guibas et al. [5] introduced two hierarchies, wrapped and layered. They proved that the wrapped hierarchy admits a separating family of size O(n2−2/d). The main result of this paper is that the same bound holds for the layered hierarchy. The layered hierarchy has some advantages compared with wrapped hierarchy...

Reports of congenital abnormalities of the lateral meniscus include discoid meniscus, accessory meniscus, double-layered meniscus, and ring-shaped meniscus. Particularly, only a few cases of double-layered meniscus have been reported. We report a case of double-layered lateral meniscus, in which an additional semicircular meniscus was observed under the normal lateral meniscus. The accessory he...

A layered dynamic texture is an extension of the dynamic texture [1] that can model multiple regions (layers) of different motion. The motion in each layer is abstracted using a time-evolving state process, and each pixel formed from one of the state processes, which is assigned through a layer assignment variable. In Section 2 and Section 3, we derive the EM algorithm for learning the layered ...

to achieve an excellent thermal-mechanical performance of cmcs, it is necessary to analyze and design the thickness of the multi-layered interphases for an optimized trs distribution. an optimization was performed with a new version of the particle swarm optimization, the bsg-starcraft radius pso linked to a finite element software.

We show how to improve the Sugiyama scheme by using edge bundling. Our method modifies the layout produced by the Sugiyama scheme by bundling some of the edges together. The bundles are created by a new algorithm based on minimizing the total ink needed to draw the graph edges. We give several implementations that vary in quality of the resulting layout and execution time. To diminish the numbe...

In this paper, we propose a simplified Maximum Likelihood (ML) detection scheme for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system that has much less computational complexity than the conventional ML detection scheme. Simulation results verify that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed scheme is close to that of the ML detection scheme with significant complexity reduction. key wor...

Existing solutions for wireless LAN networks have been subject to security vulnerabilities and previous study has addressed and evaluated the security performance of IEEE 802.11b wireless networks using single server–client architecture and simple traffic models. This paper describes research into the effect of multiple security mechanisms on the performance of multi-client congested and uncong...
