in this research, the activity of mno, produced during steel making in aluminate-rich slags, was investigated.according to thermodynamic equations and mathematical calculation, a series of relations was obtained forevaluation of oxide activity using masson’s theory. the obtained relations were solved according to levenberg- marquardt method and using matlab software. the results were correlated...

Much research has been published in the literature on the mathematical approaches to obtain the most accurate earth resistance and resistivity values. However, the published research only conducted the comparisons among the mathematical/computational techniques and so far none has conducted validation tests of these mathematical/computational methods against the real earth resistance measuremen...

Current theories of mathematical cognition offer competing accounts of the interplay between encoding and calculation in mental arithmetic. Additive models propose that manipulations of problem format do not interact with the cognitive processes used in calculation. Alternatively, interactive models suppose that format manipulations have a direct effect on calculation processes. In the present ...

We investigate two-loop higher-order binding corrections to the fine structure, which contribute to the spin-dependent part of the Lamb shift. Our calculation focuses on the so-called “two-loop selfenergy” involving two virtual closed photon loops. For bound states, this correction has proven to be notoriously difficult to evaluate. The calculation of the binding corrections to the bound-state ...

We present a concise review of the recent theoretical progress concerning the standard model calculation of the inclusive radiative B̄ → Xsγ decay. Particular attention is thereby devoted to the calculations of the next-to-next-to-leading order fixed-order O(αs) contributions, non-local O(αsΛ/mb) power corrections, and logarithmic-enhanced O(αs) cut-effects to the decay rate. The current status ...

The equations of motion for a massive spin2 Rarita-Schwinger field in a finite-range, central, Lorentz scalar potential are developed. It is shown that the resulting density may not be everywhere positive definite.

Delay faults are an increasingly important test challenge. Traditional open and bridge fault models are incomplete because only the functional fault or a subset of delay fault are modeled. In this paper, we propose a circuit level model for resistive open and bridge faults. All possible fault behaviors are illustrated and a general resistive bridge delay calculation method is proposed. The new ...

The role of sustainability dimensions in the value creation process has received much attention. Adopting a proper set of key performance indicators sustainability leads to accurate calculation of chain value. This paper focuses on the dimensions of in the biofuel supply chain and seeks to evaluate the value in the chain. First, the importance of biofuels and its various types are discussed. Th...

A good estimate of the design effect is critical for calculating the most efficient sample size for cluster surveys. We reviewed the design effects for seven nutrition and health outcomes from nine population-based cluster surveys conducted in emergency settings. Most of the design effects for outcomes in children, and one-half of the design effects for crude mortality, were below two. A reasse...
