the separation of olefin/paraffin mixtures is an important process in petrochemical industries, which is traditionally performed by low temperature distillation with a high-energy consumption, or complex extractive distillationand adsorption techniques. membrane separation process is emerging as an alternative for traditional separation processes with respect to low energy and simple operation....

Bedload transport is an essential component of river dynamics and estimation of its rate is important to many aspects of river management. In this study, measured bedload by Helley- Smith sampler was used to estimate the bedload transport of Kurau River in Malaysia. An artificial neural network, genetic programming and a combination of genetic programming and a neural network were used to estim...

results comparative analysis of predicted amino acids in the phylogenetic tree showed high similarity between c. glabrata and s cerevisiae. besides, c. glabrata demonstrated the capability to grow in glucose levels as low as 0.01% in the spot dilution assay. in qrt-pcr analysis, differential expressions were observed in selected genes when c. glabrata was subjected to different glucose concentr...

the kinetics of the potassium thiocyanate transport mediated by dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (l) through a bulk liquid membrane is studied experimentally and theoretically. the proposed model is based on the assumption of a pure diffusion of the complex salt [k·l]+scn¯ through the liquid membrane stagnant films at the interfaces. it illustrates the connection between liquid-liquid extraction equilib...

– One of the important applications of robots is in material handling and transport of various shaped objects. In cases where an object cannot be directly grasped by the robot gripper, and must be carried by a hook, it may be subject to undesirable swings during transport. This paper presents an analytical method for minimizing the oscillation of a suspended object during transport. This method...

the partial differential equations for water flow and solute transport in a two-dimensional saturated domain are rendered discrete using the finite difference technique; the resulting system of algebraic equations is solved using a dynamic programming (dp) method. the advantage of the dp algorithm is that the problem is converted from solving an algebraic system of order nc(nl-1) nc(nl-1) into...
