Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) has been widely used to characterize the pore structure for various types of porous media. Several relationships between permeability and pore structure information (e.g., porosity and pore-size distribution) have been developed in the literature. This work is to introduce a new, and simpler, empirical equation to predict permeability by solely using the medi...

this research was conducted to study the length-weight and length-length relationships and condition factor of six cyprinid fish species viz. alburnus atropatena , barbus lacerta , capoeta capoeta , carrasius gibelio , romanogobio macropterus and pseudorasbora parva from zarrineh river (urmia lake basin, iran). a total of 188 specimens ranging from 2.9 to 21.4cm in total length and 0.22 to 176g...

[1] Cross-stratified deposits can give rise to a hierarchy of permeability modes, across scales, corresponding to a hierarchy of sedimentary unit types. The shape of the sample semivariogram for permeability can be largely controlled by the shape of the crosstransition probabilities of unit types having the greatest contrast in permeability. The shape of those cross-transition probabilities can...

Purpose: Quantitative Structure–Permeability Relationships (QSPerR) of the intestinal permeability across the (Caco-2) cells monolayer could be obtained by the application of new molecular descriptors. Method: A novel topologic-molecular approach to computer molecular design (TOMOCOMDCARDD) has been used to estimate the intestinal-epithelial transport of drug in Caco-2 cell culture. Results: Th...

Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major constraint to crop production on highly weathered, lowactivity clay soils in the humid zone of West Africa. Past research suggested a linear relationship between grain yield and P uptake over a range of fertilizer P applied to upland rice cultivars. However, there is lack of information on how these relationships are affected by the long-term fertilizer ...

Most of the current methods used for calibrating tree growth with climate can model only linear relationships. Recent studies demonstrated that artifi cial neural networks (ANN) are a promising method to detect nonlinear relationships. We present a comparative study on the effi ciency to assess the climate-growth responses using the ANN response function (ANNRF) and two “classical” methods: the...

Electrical resisivity is usually easier to measure in the laboratory and in-situ than permeability. Therefore, a method of combination between permeability and electrical resistivity might be used to define the fluid flow of reservoir rocks from resistivity data. However, estimating permeability from resistivity has been a problem examined by different authors. Furthermore, neither electrical n...
