we study the history and recent developments in nonelementarymodel theory focusing on the framework of abstractelementary classes. we discuss the role of syntax and semanticsand the motivation to generalize first order model theory to nonelementaryframeworks and illuminate the study with concrete examplesof classes of models. this second part continues to study the question of catecoricitytrans...

the first purpose of this study is to present an alternative robust model in order to describe ruminal degradation kinetics of forages and to minimize the fitting problems. for this purpose, the korkmaz-uckardes (ku) model, which has a logarithmic structure, was developed. the second purpose of this study is to estimate, by using the korkmaz-uckardes (ku)model, the parameters tp (the time to pr...

for non-darcy flow in submerged porous media a one- dimensional mathematical model has been developed. rockfill detention dams are one of these porous media that comprised of relatively homogenous coarse rockfill which can be used to reduce flood discharge and hydrograph peak. in this research the focus was on the rockfill detention dams in submerged condition. the existence of overtopping rock...

many research studies have been performed on forced convection (active) solar dryers for fruit and vegetables. a short survey of these showed that applying the forced convection solar dryer not only significantly reduced the drying time but also resulted in many improvements in the quality of the dried products. active indirect and mixed-mode thin layer solar drying experiments were conducted o...

this study tries to codify a proper mathematical model which can be predict the costs of repair and maintaining the tractors as precisely as possible for three common models of tractors in shahid beheshti cultivation firm in andimeshk-ahvaz road of dezfoul. studied tractors include: newhland tm155 tractor which is chosen from the most perfect file of 10 tractor machines and jandier tractor-3140...

background: radon and its short-lived decay products are considered as the important sources of public exposure to natural radioactivity. the synergistic interaction between tobacco smoking and radon is known to be an actual problem. this study has provided a mathematical description and prognosis of the carcinogenic effects after combined action of radon with smoking. materials and methods: a ...
