In the current study the influence of weight percentage of HIPS, weight percentage of CNT and hardener content on damping 1st and damping 2nd properties of epoxy/HIPS/CNT hybrid composite wase valuated. Mixture design methodology was employed to generate mathematical models for predicting damping 1st and damping 2nd behaviors of new mentioned hybrid nanocomposite as function of physical factors...

Asphalt pavement recycling has grown dramatically over the last few years as the preferred way to rehabilitate existing asphalt pavements. Rehabilitation of existing asphalt pavements has employed different techniques; one of them, cold in-place recycling with foamed asphalt (CIR-foam), has been effectively applied in Iowa. However, Iowa’s current cold in-place recycling (CIR) practice utilizes...

Article history: Received on: 05/10/2015 Revised on: 23/10/2015 Accepted on: 08/11/2015 Available online: 27/12/2015 This work, for the first time reports the optimization of recombinant human antithrombin (rhAT) production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741 using statistical experimental designs. Most applications of design of experiments (DoE) have concerned optimization of the composition of...

Nano materials have been widely used in laboratory and industrial scales in order to improve various properties of concrete and concrete mixture. The mainstream practice of the researches in this field is to add metallic nano-particles into the concrete mixture. The present research focuses on adding Micro-Nano Air Bubbles (MNAB) into water before mixing it with aggregate and cement mixtures. I...

    An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary commercial prebiotic A-Max, a mixture of mannan oligosaccharides, fructo oligosaccharides and β glucan, on growth and hemato-immunological parameters of great sturgeon (Huso huso) juveniles. After acclimation, fish (initial weight of 28.79±0.85 g) were placed into 12 tanks (30 fish per tank). Basal diet (containing 44%...

The objective of the current study was to develop and optimize a sublingual tablet formulation of captopril which is an effective drug in the treatment of hypertension. Captopril containing tablets were prepared by direct compression method using different ingredients such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone, starch 1500, sodium starch glycolate and lactose (independent variables) and magnesium stearate, ...

Nonlinear PID design is difficult if one approaches the problem from a global design perspective. In this paper, we propose coalescing the adaptive local linear modeling approach with traditional linear PID controller design techniques to arrive at a principled, intuitive, and simple nonlinear PID controller design methodology. The paper, in particular, discusses two local linear modeling appro...

Hypothesis testing via numerical models has emerged as a powerful tool which permits the verification of theoretical frameworks against canonical experimental and clinical observations. Cleverly designed computational experiments also inspire new methodologies by elucidating important biological processes and restricting parametric spaces. Constrained mixture models of arterial growth and remod...

greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the response of wheat to tank mixture of herbicides with insecticide and manure in ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. the experiment consisted of 8 treatments: 1- tribenuron methyl (15-20 g ha-1) + clodinafop propargyl (0.8 l ha-1) 2- tribenuron methyl + clodinafop propargyl + fenitrotion (1.2 l ha-1) + librel (1 kg ha-1) 3- tribenuron methyl + c...
