Groundwater is a major source of water for domestic, industrial, and agricultural sectors in many countries. The main objective of this research was to provide an overview of present groundwater quality using parameters such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, chloride, sulfate, pH, and electrical conductivity (EC) in the Mehran plain, Ilam province using GIS and geostatistical techniques. A total o...

The paper presents a novel approach to Java byte code veri cation: The veri cation process is performed \o ine" on a network server, instead of incorporating it in the client. Furthermore, the most critical part of the veri cation process is based upon a formal model and uses a model checker for checking the veri cation conditions. The result of the veri cation process can be securely communica...

The secretion of cationic drugs and endogenous metabolites is a major function of the kidney. This is accomplished by organic cation transport systems, mainly located in the proximal tubules. Here, we describe a model for continuous measurement of organic cation (OC) transport. In this model, organic cation transport in individual freshly isolated rat proximal tubules is investigated by use of ...

We report the first observation of infrared emission from a gaseous ionic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), the pyrene cation, over the range of wavelengths spanned by the ubiquitous interstellar unidentified infrared emission bands (UIRs). The complete set of pyrene cation IR emissions is observed, with relative intensities consistent with astrophysical observations, supporting the propos...

Restricted complexity estimation is a major topic in control-oriented identi cation. Conditional algorithms are used to identify linear nite dimensional models of complex systems, the aim being to minimize the worst-case identi cation error. High computational complexity of optimal solutions suggests to employ suboptimal estimation algorithms. This paper studies di erent classes of conditional ...

cation exchange capacity and specific surface area are among some of the important soil characteristics the direct measurement of which is laborious, costly and time consuming. therefore, fractal dimension of particle size distribution has been widely studied in relation with many such dynamic and static processes as transmission of water and solutes, water holding capacity, heat storage and co...

Nonvoltage-gated cation currents, which are activated following stimulation of phospholipase C (PLC), appear to be major modes for Ca2+ and Na+ entry in mammalian cells. The TRPC channels may mediate some of these conductances since their expression in vitro leads to PLC-dependent cation influx. We found that the TRPC3 protein was highly enriched in neurons of the central nervous system (CNS). ...

Vortices play a major role in many ows and an automated technique that reliably identies, tracks, and possibly isolates vortices o ers much promise for ow diagnostics. The presence of vortices in shear layers is one instance where identi cation using vorticity based identi cation is di cult. The present study has lead to the development of an enhanced feature identi cation and extraction algori...
