Landfills generate leachate that contains elevated concentration of contaminants and is hazardous to human health and the ecosystem. In this study, the mixture of granular activated carbon and cockle shells was investigated for remediation of COD and ammonia from stabilized landfill leachate. All adsorbent media were sieved to a particle size between 2.00 and 3.35 mm. The optimum mixing ratio, ...

The objective of this research was to determine the optimum speed a knitting machine. This study compared different parameters machine running at various speeds. For this, 22-inch diameter and 24 gauge with 66 feeders Ne yarn selected run 40 rotations per minute (r.p.m.).; 42 44 (r.p.m.) for total hours each speed. Data collected two days 12 each. causes stoppages were recorded their frequencie...

This paper [1] has been retracted as it is essentially identical in content with the published article " Elucidating of rotation speed in friction stir welding of pure copper: Thermal modeling " published in References [1] M. Jabbari and C. C. Tutum, " Optimum rotation speed for the friction stir welding of pure copper, "

Estimate model parameter and the structure simultaneously is a crucial and challenging problem in system identification. For solving the problem, a hybrid algorithm by integrating two-order oscillating particle swarm optimization with successive quadratic programming is proposed in this paper. The two-order oscillating particle swarm optimization is showed to converge rapidly to a near optimum ...

In order to solve the system optimum dynamic traffic assignment problem, the whole link model with physical queue is used to formulate the single destination system optimum dynamic traffic assignment problem as a mixed linear program. A relationship between the cumulative curves and the wave speed presented by Newell (1993) is used to present a dynamic network model in considering spillback que...

We examine the properties and applications of a general class of multi-wavelength optical code-division multiple access codes in high-speed optical local area networks. We demonstrate that multiple pulse per row codes with optimum threshold detection admit maximization of the number of simultaneous users and spectral efficiency. The code design problem is also greatly simplified when the optimu...

This paper proposes a novel optimization algorithm inspired by water flowing and shaking behaviors in a vessel. Water drops in our algorithm flow to the gradient descent direction and are sometimes shaken for getting out of local optimum areas when most water drops fall in local optimum areas. These flowing and shaking operations allow our algorithm to quickly approach to the global optimum wit...
