in this paper, the effect of cationic and anionic ion sizes on the charge storage capability of graphene nanosheets is investigated. the electrochemical properties of the produced electrode are studied using cyclic voltammetry (cv) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) techniques in 3m nacl, naoh, and koh electrolytes. scanning electron microscopy (sem) is used to characterize the mi...

studies investigating fertility decline in developing countries often adopt measures of determinants of fertility behavior developed based on observations from developed countries, without adapting them to the realities of the study setting. as a result, their findings are usually invalid, anomalous or statistically non-significant. this commentary draws on the research article by moeeni and co...

background: muscle fatigue is an important issue in neuromuscular rehabilitation. better control of this phenomenon would result in better prevention of its consequent physiological damages. objective: to provide a mathematical representation of muscle fatigue as a function of time. methods: we conducted this study by combining the emg-based estimation methods of muscle activation with the avai...

background: the purpose of the present study was to examine the reliability of scapular kinematic measurements using motion analysis system in subjects with and without general hypermobility syndrome. methods: a methodological study was designed to assess the reliability of scapular movement measurement in two groups of females with and without general hypermobility syndrome. upward rotation, s...

an important issue in power generation and petrochemical industries is the monitoring of pipe wall thickness and corrosion/erosion rate. the pipes are usually subject to erosive and/or corrosive environments and any failure could be catastrophic. while periodic manual ultrasonic thickness measurement is the common practice in many industries, in certain cases, where higher accuracies are requir...

we investigated the issue of noise pollution in the bidboland gas refineryby noise measurement and surveys. the bidboland gas refinery has several process units.the sound pressure levels were measured at several places, such as units of 200, 300,400, 500, boiler, powerhouse area, cooling towers pumps, and maintenance area, and thecorresponding noise maps were produced by using sound plan softwa...

abstract accurate water measurement and delivery are basic issues in irrigation networks management and performance. in this regard, baffle modules have been considered as appropriate means for delivering almost constant discharge within a specific range of upstream water variation. the structure is meant for low discharge delivery and could be employed in farm irrigation. however, the design c...

one of the most important challenges in the development of urban railways network is the effects of railway vibrations on human and adjacent structures. although various investigations into the sources of railway vibrations have been conducted, very few research works have been reported on the influences of track geometry parameters on the level of vibrations. this is addressed in this research...

original article background and objectives: one type of electromagnetic fields, based on frequency range, is extremely low frequency (elf) fields. there are lots of reports about measuring elf- magnetic field (mf) in substations, power plants, cities, near high voltage power lines and etc. this study aimed to compare the difference between measurement of three-axis and single-axis probe mf mete...

Abstract: One of basic principle of any organization is to assure about obtained figures from measuring products. If the measured data was not trusted, will be lead to a wrong decisions regarding the approval or rejection of products and obviously the cost would be great. First cases in measurement systems analysis which crossing minds are criteria for approval or rejection any mea...
