The hydrocyclone has a very important roll in industrial separation. The consideration of its behavior is very important for design. In this investigation, behavior of water flow and particles trajectory inside a hydrocyclone has been considered by means of numerical and experimental methods, and results have been compared together. To have a numerical simulation, a CFD software was used, and f...

line to/cal/3/7c//bb/cno/5/cal//cno/sn64/4/cno//bad/dar/3/kl/6/sabalan was received from icarda under international winter wheat improvement in 1999-2000 cropping season. based on its favorable agronomic characteristics, it was selected for further evaluations in advanced and elite yield trials in main research stations of dryland agricultural research institute (dari) and on farm yield trials ...

Unfortunately this paper contains two errors with respect to Gallager's work on low density parity check codes. We gained the impression from the literature that \the sparse parity check codes studied by Gallager are bad," but this is in fact not the case. We also had the impression that Gallager's decoding algorithm was the same as Meier and Staaelbach's, and that our use of belief propagation...

18 INNOVATION www.unlv.edu 19 INNOVATION As with any great team–be it in sports or in the laboratory–success is rarely a product of happenstance. So it was no accident when, in the span of just three months last year, several research teams in UNLV’s School of Life Sciences (SOLS) were awarded sizable grants from some of the nation’s most respected funding agencies. Seven teams were notified la...

We assume the existence of a supercompact cardinal and produce a model with weak square but no very good scale at a particular cardinal. This follows work of Cummings, Foreman, and Magidor, but uses a different approach. We produce another model, starting from countably many supercompact cardinals, where κ,<κ holds but κ,λ fails for λ < κ.

Only very small quantities of vitamins and minerals are needed for human health but deficiencies can have disproportionately large, often life-threatening, effects. Micronutrient deficiencies lead to a vicious cycle of malnutrition and infection in poorly nourished populations. Fortification of staple foods is the cheapest, most efficient and most effective way to supply large populations with ...
