clustering technique is one of the most important techniques of data mining and is the branch of multivariate statistical analysis and a method for grouping similar data in to same clusters. with the databases getting bigger, the researchers try to find efficient and effective clustering methods so that they can make fast and real decisions. thus, in this paper, we proposed an improved ant syst...

Sulfide lead resources are being depleted and the exploitation of carbonate lead deposits is now the main focus of lead mining. Cerussite, PbCO3, is majorly discarded to tailing damps because it is difficult to be processed by flotation in lead concentration units. This paper not only investigates the optimization of cerussite flotation, but it also proposes a model for predict...

This study concerns the scope to improve water flooding in heterogeneous reservoirs. We used an existing, in-house developed, optimization program consisting of a reservoir simulator in combination with an adjoint-based optimal control algorithm. In particular we aimed to examine the scope for optimization in a two-dimensional horizontal reservoir containing a single high permeable streak, ...

The samples of spent chlorinated Pt/Al2O3 catalysts that were used in the isomerization process were decoked at elevated temperatures under airflow and different oxygen concentrations. The surface of the catalyst was characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, attenuated total reflection fast Fourier in...

The aim of this experiment was to investigate rumen fermentation and some blood parameters of dromedary camels fed with C3 and C4 forage. Four fistulated dromedary adult camels were fed with diets as a changeover design, 30 days for each period. The diets included alfalfa hay + wheat straw (C3 forage) and atriplex+ suaeda + seidlitzia (C4 forage). At ...
