deterioration of concrete structures in the gulf region is a serious problem. penetration of chloride ion into concrete is responsible for such early deterioration. determination of chloride diffusion coefficient is an effective way to predict the service life of concrete structures. in order to investigate the performance of concrete mixtures in such environments, ordinary and silica fume conc...

This paper reviews basic methods and recent applications of length-based fiber bundle analysis of cerebral white matter using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is a dMRI technique that uses the random motion of water to probe tissue microstructure in the brain. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an extension of DWI that measures the magnitude and direc...

it seems using the maxwell-stefan (m-s) diffusion model in combination with the vacancy solutiontheory (vst) and the single-component adsorption data provides a superior, qualitative, andquantitative prediction of diffusion in zeolites. in the m-s formulation, thermodynamic factor (г) isan essential parameter which must be estimated by an adsorption isotherm. researchers usually utilizethe simp...
