the adsorption of lead (11) and copper (11) in a fixed bed column using activated carbonprepared from nipa palm nut was investigated. thomas model and yoon and nelson kinetic models were used to analyze the column performance. the rate constant for thomas model increased with increase in flow rate and initial ion concentration but remained constant at varying bed height. adsorption capacity for...

in the wisdom-faith relation debate, as one of the most important issues in theology, thomas aquinas, the renowned christian rhetoric of the middle ages, intellectually claims that wisdom is independent and even superior to faith. in the modern cartesian intellectualism, there is nothing superior to the wisdom, put differently; things which can’t be recognized through logic can’t be considered ...

Thomas Suddendorf is Professor of Psychology at the University of Queensland, Australia. He was born and raised in Germany, but has spent most of his adult life in the Antipodes. He studies the development of mental capacities in young children and in nonhuman animals to answer fundamental questions about the nature and evolution of the human mind.

Third, he makes sketches and photographs the parts of the dissected fl ower. Fourth, he models its form and structure using 3ds Max (3DCG software). Fifth, he renders separate parts and creates a composition using Adobe Photoshop. ...

My primary research focus is on inverse problems in imaging with applications to science and industry. More broadly, I apply mathematical techniques to model, simulate, and analyze physical and biological systems. Currently, I have active research projects in de-noising of remote sensing images, in image formation for computational photography, and in fast multipole methods for molecular dynami...
