The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of type of alcohols and humectants in inks formulation, and the papers surface morphology on the ink-jet printing properties. In order to investigate the influence of alcohol and humectant types on printing properties, the optimum ink formulation from previous study, which contained C.I. Reactive Blue 21 Ink2 was formulated with different ...

Considering the great significant role that routing protocols play in transfer rate and choosing the optimum path for exchange of data packages, and further in the amount of consumed energy in the routing protocol, the present study has focused on developing an efficient compound energy algorithm based on cluster structure which is called active node with cluster structure. The purpose of this ...

the engineering properties of soils are generally affected by parameters such as mineral type, structure, and pore water salinity. the existing solutes of soil play a role in the electrochemical forces between particles and can change the index and mechanical properties of soil, including cohesion, compressibility, and compactibility. this study investigated the effect of sodium chloride, sodiu...

We used RNAfold in the Vienna package [1] to compute the minimal free energy for all subsequences in a given sequence. The ones whose length and number of stem-loops are within the range (default 30 ∼ 100 bases, 1 ∼ 2 stem loops), and are locally optimal (base paired at the ends, with no lower-energy states by extending or shrinking 2 bases at the ends) are selected. They are then sorted by the...

in this study, the optimization of energy consumption and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of irrigated lentil production in esfahan province were conducted using data envelopment analysis (dea) method. the used data were collected randomly from 140 lentil producers using a face to face questionnaire method in the cropping season of 2014-2015. based on two dea models of constant returns to...

Nonparametric detection of a zero-mean random signal in additive noise is considered. The locally optimum detector based on signs and ranks of observations is derived, for good weak-signal detection performance under any specified noise probability density function. This detector is shown to have interesting similarities to the locally optimum detector for random signals. It may also be viewed ...

This paper presents a performance-optimization technique in a structured wireless sensor network that has a circular form and consists of several rings with many clusters. Optimization is done by varying the number of rings and by applying aggregation on the data transferred across the network up to the destination node. The main reason for this study is that the energy-limited sensor nodes may...
