Equilibrium adsorption property of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with OH group was studied using experimental design for the adsorption of CO2 , CH4 and H2 . The effect of temperature, pressure, their binary interactions and quadratic terms were studied for adsorption capacity of nanotubes and the results were analyzed by the face centered central composite design method and analysis of varianc...

PURPOSE To improve selectivity of verteporfin therapy (PDT) in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using modified treatment parameters. METHODS Nineteen consecutive patients with predominantly classic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in AMD were treated with 6 mg/m2 verteporfin given as bolus infusion. Patients received PDT with a fluence of either 25 or 50 J/cm2. Choroidal p...

This work is a study of the effects of frequency selectivity on multi-carrier wideband signals in three different environments; indoors, outdoor to indoor and outdoors. The investigation was made using measurements carried out with a sounder with a 300 MHz bandwidth. The main part of this work is related to evaluate the contribution of several parameters; frequency selective fading, coherence b...

asymmetrically mixed matrix matrimid-mil-53 membranes with silicone cover layer were fabricated. for better understanding of membrane fabrication process, three main parameters of fabrication, matrimid concentration, silicone concentration and weight percentage of metal organic framework (mil-53) particles, were optimized by an experimental design method. cross-section sem images were used to s...

The oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) performance over Na-W-Mn/SiO2 at elevated pressures has been simulated by adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) using reaction data gathered in an isothermal fixed bed microreactor. In the designed neuro fuzzy models, three important parameters such as methane to oxygen ratio, gas hourly space velocity (GHSV), and reaction temperature were conside...

The spatial and temporal interactions in the receptive fields of On-Off directionally selective (DS) ganglion cells endow them with directional selectivity. Using a variety of stimuli, such as sinusoidal gratings, we show that these interactions make directional selectivity of the DS ganglion cell robust with respect to stimulus parameters such as contrast, speed, spatial frequency, and extent ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are an important class of drug targets. Quantitative analysis by global curve fitting of properly designed dose-dependent GPCR agonism and allosterism data permits the determination of all affinity and efficacy parameters based on a general operational model. We report here a quantitative and panoramic measure of receptor agonist and modulator equi-response a...

the purpose of this study was determine the selectivity properties of gillnet used in roach (rutilus rutilus) fishery in the lake uluabat. in the fishery works, 7 different gill net which were 100 meters in length and 32, 40,50, 60,70,80 and 90 mmmesh size with a same thickness and depth of 50 mesh as vertically have been used. field work was carried out monthly in a period of january 2011 and ...

ch4, c2h6 and c2h4 are the most important outlet gaseous of oxidative couple methane (ocm) reaction and this process is a new technology for conversion of natural gas to ethane and ethylene products. in this study, adsorption of ocm outlet hydrocarbons over 10x zeolite has been examined at equilibrium conditions. temperature and pressure are the most effective operational parameters in the batc...
