the kinetic study of methylene blue (mb) adsorption using acid-activated spent tea (aast) as an adsorbent from aqueous solution with the aim of comparing linear and non-linear regression analysis methods was performed at varying initial mb concentrations (10-100 mg/l). hence, spent tea leaves, which were activated using concentrated sulfuric acid, were prepared. the physicochemical characterist...

this paper estimates the determinants of inflation in iran using a linear and non- linear regression model over the period 1959-2008. in the model specification, the conventional variables (liquidity, production and exchange rate) as well as positive and negative oil revenue shocks, monetary disequilibrium, and demand gap are considered. the results show that nonlinear time series regression mo...

the purpose of this paper is to studying nonlinear k-ε turbulence models and its advantages in internal combustion engines, since the standard k-ε model is incapable of representing the anisotropy of turbulence intensities and fails to express the reynolds stresses adequately in rotating flows. therefore, this model is not only incapable of expressing the anisotropy of turbulence in an engine c...

nowadays, it has demonstrated that viruses can be transmitted by water and foods. therefore, it causes the research to develop for detecting different viruses in water and foods. among foods, milk can transfer potentially pathogenic viruses. on the other hand, to achieve every method for recovery and extraction of viruses in raw milk it needs to know about impact of milk components on viruses. ...

in this work some quantitative structure activity relationship models were developed for prediction of three bioenvironmental parameters of 28 volatile organic compounds, which are used in assessing the behavior of pollutants in soil. these parameters are; half-life, non dimensional effective degradation rate constant and effective péclet number in two type of soil. the most effective descripto...

A procedure is presented that synthesizes fractional crystallization separation processes to obtain pure solids from multi-component solutions. The method includes a procedure to generate a network flow model to identify alternative process designs for fractional crystallization. The main advantage of this systematic procedure with respect to other reported procedures is using non-equilibri...
