background: it has been claimed that by using different washing methods, the sperms can be separated according to size, motility, density, chromosomal content and surface markings and charge. these methods also reduce sperm chromatin deficiencies and screen the sperms before applying in assisted reproduction techniques. objective: this study compared simple density gradient methods and a combin...

zirconium dioxide, commonly known as zirconia, is an interesting material and is receiving growing attention due to its excellent mechanical properties. the solid was characterized for surface area measurements, scanningelectron microscopy (sem), energy dispersive x-ray diffractometry (edx) and potentiometric titrations. surface titrations were carried out at the temperature range 303 to 323k i...

Abstract The application of quantitative interpretation techniques for hydrocarbon prospect evaluation from seismic has become so vital. effective employment these is dependent on several factors: the quality and well data, sparseness physics rock, lithological structural complexity field. This study adopts reflection pattern, amplitude versus offset (AVO), Biot–Gassmann fluid substitution cros...

in this paper, it has been shown that there is a special relation between horizontal and vertical gradients of gravity data and the vertical and horizontal components of magnetic data for some of 2-d sources. it has been shown that the hilbert transform is useful in calculating the vertical gradient of gravity and magnetic anomalies from the horizontal gradient for transformation of gravity and...

Consider the following consistent Sylvester tensor equation[mathscr{X}times_1 A +mathscr{X}times_2 B+mathscr{X}times_3 C=mathscr{D},]where the matrices $A,B, C$ and the tensor $mathscr{D}$ are given and $mathscr{X}$ is the unknown tensor. The current paper concerns with examining a simple and neat framework for accelerating the speed of convergence of the gradient-based iterative algorithm and ...
