operating parameters and membrane characteristics strongly affect the performance of electrodialysis reversal systems. the most impactful factors are applied voltage, flow rate, temperature, initial feed composition, and ion exchange membrane characteristics; the ph of the feed also has an effect, although to a lesser extent. to determine more precisely how all of these factors impact performan...

Wigner’s little groups are the subgroups of the Lorentz group whose transformations leave the momentum of a given particle invariant. They thus define the internal space-time symmetries of relativistic particles. These symmetries take different mathematical forms for massive and for massless particles. However, it is shown possible to construct one unified representation using a graphical descr...

Promethee ii is a multi-criteria decision aid method working as follows: firstly, all alternatives are compared two by to form pairwise comparison matrix. Then the net flow score procedure applied on this matrix assign each alternative according which they ranked. Methods of family may suffer from rank reversal occurrences. The legitimacy methods suffering phenomenon has been largely debated in...

BACKGROUND Patients with alcohol dependence (AD) and pathological gambling (PG) are characterized by dysfunctional reward processing and their ability to adapt to alterations of reward contingencies is impaired. However, most neurocognitive tasks investigating reward processing involve a complex mix of elements, such as working memory, immediate and delayed rewards, and risk-taking. As a conseq...

Let S be a subset of the positive integers, and let σ be a permutation of S. We say that σ is a k-avoiding permutation of S if σ does not contain any k-term AP as a subsequence. Similarly, the set S is said to be k-avoidable if there exists a k-avoiding permutation of S.

purpose: to determine whether adding 2% topical cyclosporine (csa) to local and systemic steroids in treatment of endothelial corneal allograft rejection improves the outcome. methods: a prospective randomized treatment trial was carried out on 40 consecutive corneal graft recipients, presenting with the first episode of endothelial graft rejection in two groups. group one (20 patients) receive...

Objective Background: 2% to 6% of vasectomized men will ultimately seek vasectomy reversal and late stricture and obstruction after operation are relatively common. Objective: To find a method for improving of vasovasostomy outcomes, we used intra-operative local mitomycin-C to prevent possible fibrosis and stricture. MaterialsAndMethods Design, setting, and participants: 44 patients in our ref...

In this paper we study the consequences of introduction a flat boundary on four-dimensional (4D) covariant rank-2 gauge theory described by linear combination linearized gravity and fracton theory. We show that gives rise to Maxwell-Chern-Simons-like two traceless symmetric tensor fields. This induced three-dimensional (3D) can be physically traced back scalar charge fractons, where Chern-Simon...

background: the effects of aqueous extract of fadogia agrestis stem at the doses of 18, 36, and 72 mg/kg body weight on alloxan-induced toxicity was investigated in wistar rats. methods: in total, 35 rats of both sexes (132.80±7.22g) were randomized into five groups (a-e): animals in group a received 0.5 ml of distilled water orally on daily basis for 15 days while the alloxanized rats in group...

We use this theorem to derive the same corollaries for the theories covered by the theorem as were derived for the strongly minimal case in [2]. We also note that the theorem is in some senses optimal. Specifically we can easily construct trivial Morley Rank 1 theories which are not categorical and for which the conclusion of the theorem fails. Also Marker in [3] constructs trivial totally cate...
