Cathodic vacuum arc plasmas can be used to produce well adherent, dense, highquality films and coatings provided macroparticles are removed from the plasma. Both plasma and macroparticles are produced at cathode spots, and in most cases both can easily be observed because they emit light. The nature of this light emission is briefly discussed. Using open, curved solenoids as magnetic filters, o...

asphaltene precipitation and deposition is a serious problem in many iranian fields. the deposited asphaltene results in partial or total blockage of the wellbore and wellstring reducing or completely seizing oil production. this paper studies the asphaltene problem and mitigation methods in wellstring systematically. it presents new approach based on the combination of thermodynamic modeling o...

the suitability of three vapor deposition techniques for pore size modification was evaluated using polycarbonate track etched membranes as model supports. a feature scale model was employed to predict the pore geometry after modification and the resulting pure water flux. physical vapor deposition (pvd) and pulsed plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (pecvd), naturally, form asymmetric na...

BACKGROUND Intravenous magnesium sulfate (MgSO(4)) in children and adults with refractory acute asthma is effective, but therapy may be limited by systemic hypotension that might be avoided with the aerosol route. Inhaled MgSO(4) has a relatively high dose (volume) requirement. This, plus the use of inefficient delivery systems, may explain the lack of efficacy of inhaled MgSO(4) in some studie...

This paper uses a model, and data on particle size distributions, filter efficiencies, and particle deposition rates to estimate the reductions in the indoor mass concentrations of particles attainable from use of filters in HVAC supply airstreams. Additionally, the energy and total costs of the filtration options are estimated. Predicted reductions in cat and dust-mite allergen concentrations ...

‎in this paper‎, ‎the notion of the radical of a filter in‎ ‎residuated lattices is defined and several characterizations of‎ ‎the radical of a filter are given‎. ‎we show that if f is a‎ ‎positive implicative filter (or obstinate filter)‎, ‎then‎ ‎rad(f)=f‎. ‎we proved the extension theorem for radical of filters in residuated lattices‎. ‎also‎, ‎we study the radical‎ ‎of filters in linearly o...

in this paper, we proposed a novel structure for designing all optical filter based on photonic crystal structure. in designing the proposed filter, we simply employed a point defect localized between input and output waveguides as wavelength selecting part of the filter. the initial form of this filter is capable of selecting optical waves at =1560 nm, the transmission efficiency of the filte...
