abstract background: the aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of conventional slow sand filter with modified filter bed with crushed recycled glass in removing of turbidity and total and fecal coliforms from water resources.   methods: in this study efficiency of conventional slow sand filter and modified filter bed with crushed recycled glass during 4 months was compared and their p...

This paper presents a low loss and high selective lowpass filter which is implemented using suspended stripline (SSL) technology. The proposed structure is comprised of a 13th order generalized Chebyshev lowpass filter which enjoys integrated waveguide-to-SSL transitions. This filter is designed and fabricated to be used as lowpass channel of a U-band diplexer employed in frontend of a U-band d...

background: butterworth, gaussian, hamming, hanning, and parzen are commonly used spect filters during filtered back-projection (fbp) reconstruction, which greatly affect the quality and size accuracy of image. materials and methods: this study involved a cardiac phantom in which 1.10 cm thick cold defect was inserted into its myocardium wall and filled with 4.0 μci/ml (0.148 mbq/ml) 99mtc conc...

we study algebraic properties of categories of merotopic, nearness, and filter algebras. we show that the category of filter torsion free abelian groups is an epireflective subcategory of the category of filter abelian groups. the forgetful functor from the category of filter rings to filter monoids is essentially algebraic and the forgetful functor from the category of filter groups to the cat...

the continuous filter is a kind of sand filter, which will operate without any interruptions for backwashing and also it accepts high-suspended solid levels in feed stream. fouled sand is continuously removed from the filter bed, washed and recycled back without interruption with filtration process. various samples of water with certain amounts of turbidity enter through a feed pipe and being d...

myocardial perfusion spect imaging with tc99m-sestamibi is the most accurate non-invasive means of detecting coronary artery disease and assessing the severity of perfusion abnormalities in the patients with coronary stenosis. though simple and straight forward the results produced by the technique is very much affected by the details being used. one of the main problems with the test, which ha...

in order to obtain maximum information from magnetic and gravity anomaly maps, application of an edgedetection method is necessary. in this regard two commonly used methods are derivative filters and local phase filters. in this paper, a matlab code is expanded to combine an analytic signal filter and a tilt angle filter as a new edge detection filter called asta filter. this method was demonst...

‎In this paper‎, ‎the notion of the radical of a filter in‎ ‎residuated lattices is defined and several characterizations of‎ ‎the radical of a filter are given‎. ‎We show that if F is a‎ ‎positive implicative filter (or obstinate filter)‎, ‎then‎ ‎Rad(F)=F‎. ‎We proved the extension theorem for radical of filters in residuated lattices‎. ‎Also‎, ‎we study the radical‎ ‎of filters in linearly o...

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of n-fold obstinate pseudo-hoop and n-fold obstinate filter in pseudo-hoops. Then we investigated these notions and proved some properties of them. Also, we discussed the relationship between n-fold obstinate pseudo-hoop and n-fold obstinate filter and other types of n-fold pseudo-hoops and n-fold filters such as n-fold (positive) implicative filter and ...
