A model is developed to describe multilayer deposition in packed-bed systems. The multilayer deposition is significant for colloid suspensions which are near or beyond the critical coagulation conditions. Packed-bed deposition studies of such suspensions are possible in experiments with short residence times. Our model is formulated along the lines of the existing monolayer theories and involve...

We investigate the superconductivity of a three-dimensional d-p model with a multilayer perovskite structure on the basis of the second-order perturabation theory within the weak coupling framework. Our model has been designed with multilayer high-Tc superconducting cuprates in mind. In our model, multiple Fermi surfaces appear, and the component of a superconducting gap function develops on ea...

This letter proposes a new type of neurons called multithreshold quadratic sigmoidal neurons to improve the classification capability of multilayer neural networks. In cooperation with single-threshold quadratic sigmoidal neurons, the multithreshold quadratic sigmoidal neurons can be used to improve the classification capability of multilayer neural networks by a factor of four compared to comm...

In this research attempts were made to estimate the in-situ stresses acting on a hydrocarbon reservoir based on routine activities of acid injection in oil reservoir. It was found that the relation between the re-opening pressure of fracture and principal in-situ stresses can be estimated using rock mechanics equations for the circular underground cavities. An appropriate relation between the m...

abstractbackgrounds: md-55-2 is one of the radiochromic film models with the sensitivity suitable for dose measurements ranging from 5 to 100 gy.  however, this lower limit makes the film impractical for its applications in many areas such as brachytherapy source dosimetry.materials and methods: in this project, the useful range of the film has been extended by using a multilayer film technique...

Patterned multilayer films composed of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) were prepared using dip and spin self-assembly (SA) methods. A silicon substrate was patterned with a photoresist thin film using conventional photolithography, and PAH/PSS multilayers were then deposited onto the substrate surface using dip or spin SA. For spin SA, the photores...

reservoir characterization plays an important role in different parts of an industrial project. the results from a reservoir characterization study give insight into rock and fluid properties which can optimize the choice of drilling locations and reduce risk and uncertainty. delineating hydrocarbon bearing zones within a reservoir is the main objective of any seismic reservoir characterization...

Surface treatments of the biomaterials are of great interest in many biomedical applications. Hydroxyapatite is a favorable candidate for surface modification of the implants. To date, a wide variety of methods have been developed to produce bio-active/biocompatible coatings with desirable features in order to improve the performance of the implants. This paper strives to overview the present p...
