this research was performed to determine the efficiency effect of sedimentary environment of kerman city area on soil structure bycomparing natural and reconstituted consolidation curves. in this regard, four different criteria such as sensitivity strength, stresssensitivity, schmertman criteria and the result of the uniaxial compression test were used. the base of these criteria is to compare ...

in our previous work, the effect of use of a water soluble cdi/nhs system as nontoxic cross-linking agent on fabrication of gelatin nanoparticles was investigated. in this research, the effect of variation in some synthetic parameters of gelatin nanoparticles cross-linked by cdi/nhs system such as type of gelatin and formulation of cross- linking agent on their size and distribution was examine...

Low dimensional embeddings of manifold data have gained popularity in the last decade. However, a systematic finite sample analysis of manifold embedding algorithms largely eludes researchers. Here we present two algorithms that embed a general n-dimensional manifold intoR (where d only depends on some key manifold properties such as its intrinsic dimension, volume and curvature) that guarantee...

This paper develops two ideas with respect to dispositional properties: (1) Adapting a suggestion of Sungho Choi, it appears the conceptual distinction between dispositional and categorical properties can be drawn in terms of susceptibility to finks and antidotes. Dispositional, but not categorical properties, are not susceptible to intrinsic finks, nor are they remediable by intrinsic antidote...

Electrons and their interactions are intrinsic factors to affect the structure and properties of materials. Based on the "cluster-cluster-plus-glue-atom" model, an electron counting rule for complex metallic alloys (CMAs) has been revealed in this work (i. e. the CPGAMEC rule). Our results on the cluster structure and electron concentration of CMAs with apparent cluster features, indicate that ...

We study the geometrical properties of a unit vector field on a Riemann-ian 2-manifold, considering the field as a local imbedding of the manifold into its tangent sphere bundle with the Sasaki metric. For the case of constant curvature K, we give a description of the totally geodesic unit vector fields for K = 0 and K = 1 and prove a non-existence result for K = 0, 1. We also found a family ξω...

We show that approach to equilibrium in certain forced Burgers equations is implied by a decay estimate on a suitable intrinsic semigroup estimate, and we verify this estimate in a variety of cases including a periodic force.
