the notion of a bead metric space is defined as a nice generalization of the uniformly convex normed space such as $cat(0)$ space, where the curvature is bounded from above by zero. in fact, the bead spaces themselves can be considered in particular as natural extensions of convex sets in uniformly convex spaces and normed bead spaces are identical with uniformly convex spaces. in this paper, w...

adsorption and water treatment of ca (ii) and mg (ii) hardness were investigated via adsorption of metal ions onto commercial polyacrylic acid hydrogel beads as a novel sorbent for metal ions (ca2+, mg2+) removal and water treatment. batch equilibrium technique was carried out under the influence of solution ph, contact time, sorbent dosage, initial metal concentration and competitive study. th...

suspension polymerization processes are significantly important in polymer bead formation. one of the important factors for bead size control in these processes is variation in surface tension. in this research, the prediction of optimum concentration of a surface active agent was investigated on the basis of the experimental surface tension diagrams. the experimental data show that the desired...

original article   electrospun nanofibrous filter media have attracted considerable attention in the last decade. the present study aimed to develop the electrospun pan (polyacrylonitrile) filter media through experimental investigations for application in high-performance air filters. for this purpose, an experimental design was proposed to assess the effect of electrospinning process conditio...

In subcuticular wound closure, the use of anchorage beads or knots to maintain opposition of wound edges is a common practice, but can lead to complications. One hundred and one abdominal subcuticular wound closures (44 vertical and 57 transverse) were prospectively studied and assessment of wound swelling was made by measuring the length of exposed suture at both ends of the wound, on successi...
