this paper presents the adsorption of phenol on granular activated carbon (gac) from nutrient medium suitable for roorganisms’ growth and also the subsequent biodegradation. two parameter langmuir and freundlich adsorption isotherm models were studied using large range of phenol concentration (50-1000 mg/l). in low range of phenol concentration (50-300 mg/l), correlation coefficient, normaliz...

Yang and Qiu proposed an expected utility-entropy (EU-E) measure of risk, which reflects an individual’s intuitive attitude toward risk. Luce et al. have derived the numerical representations under behavioral axioms about preference orderings among gambles and their joint receipt, which further demonstrates the reasonability of the EU-E decision model as a normative one. In the paper, combining...

OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging derived quantitative metrics and serum soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) level in an embolic canine stroke model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A middle cerebral artery occlusion model was established in 24 beagle dogs. Experimental dogs were divided into low- and high-sCD40L group according to serum sCD40L level a...

‎let $g$ be a graph without an isolated vertex‎, ‎the normalized laplacian matrix $tilde{mathcal{l}}(g)$‎‎is defined as $tilde{mathcal{l}}(g)=mathcal{d}^{-frac{1}{2}}mathcal{l}(g) mathcal{d}^{-frac{1}{2}}$‎, where ‎$‎mathcal{‎d}‎$ ‎is a‎ diagonal matrix whose entries are degree of ‎vertices ‎‎of ‎$‎g‎$‎‎. ‎the eigenvalues of‎‎$tilde{mathcal{l}}(g)$ are ‎called ‎ ‎ as ‎the ‎normalized laplacian ...
