efficient mode shape extraction of fluid-structure systems is of particular interest in engineering. an efficient modified version of unsymmetric lanczos method is proposed in this paper. the original unsymmetric lanczos method was applied to general form of unsymmetric matrices, while the proposed method is developed particularly for the fluid-structure matrices. the method provides us with si...

soil washing by mobilizing is one of in-situ techniques for soil decontamination. applying this technique to the contaminated soils could be followed by many environmental problems. therefore, it is important to study the effective factors on removal of heavy metals from different forms. in the present research, the forms of zn, pb, and cd in three contaminated soils from the zinc-lead smelting...

recently, subcritical water extraction (swe) has been well known as a green technology for extraction of bioactive compounds from plants. in this study, subcritical water extraction, ultrasound assisted extraction (uae) and shaker solvent extraction (sse) were compared for extraction of phenolic compounds from fig (ficuscarica) pulp and skin. antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated u...

microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (mahd) method has been compared with hydrodistillation (hd) conventional technique for extraction of essential oil from achillea millefolium. microwave-assisted hydrodistillation were examined at three levels of microwave powers (300, 500, and 700 w) .   obtained results show that   mahd offers important advantages over hd in terms of energy savings and extr...
