medical plants are adapted to different kinds of dormancy to survive in the worst situations. regarding to ecological viewpoint, this kind of adaptation is very important in respect to restriction of genetic draft and decrease of genetic resource of medicinal plants. this leads to plant survival even after prolonged drought. since some of them are endangered species and in the other hand increa...

kinetic study of epoxidation of unsaturated ketone of mesityl oxide was studied by usinghydrogen peroxide in the presence of dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (dtab) as aninverse phase transfer catalyst. the reaction was carried out in the two-phase media of waterheptanewith 1:1 ratio in 25 °c. it was found that the order of reaction for mesityl oxide forketone concentration in the range of 0.0...

In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) was applied for investigation of the effects of ultrasonic waves, temperature and solvent concentration on viscosity reduction of residue fuel oil (RFO). Ultrasonic irradiation was employed at low frequency of 24 kHz and power of 280 W. The results showed that the combination of ultrasonic waves and solven...

Ultrasonic waves form a useful nondestructive evaluation (NDE) probe for determining physical, microstructural, and mechanical properties of materials and parts. Noncontacting laser ultrasonic methods are desired for remote measurements and on-line manufacture process monitoring. Researchers at the Idaho National Engineering & Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) have developed a versatile new meth...

Ultrasonic transducers play a significant role in generating and receiving the acoustic waves in ultrasonic flowmeters. Depending on the required accuracy, the ultrasonic transducers can be installed either in one pair or more in an ultrasonic flowmeter. The main part of an ultrasonic transducer is its piezoceramic element. In this work, four piezoceramic elements with different diameter to thi...
