The particle size distribution of aerosols produced by electronic cigarettes was measured in an undiluted state by a spectral transmission procedure and after high dilution with an electrical mobility analyzer. The undiluted e-cigarette aerosols were found to have particle diameters of average mass in the 250-450 nm range and particle number concentrations in the 10(9) particles/cm(3) range. Th...

The nanostructured anatase TiO2 with high thermal stability was prepared by polymeric sol-gel method without any additives. The particle size distribution of polymeric titania sol was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Then properties of obtained titania were investigated by TG-DTA, XRD, FESEM and TEM. Also, the decolorization capability of resultant anatase was evaluated using methy...

The Lévy distribution, previously used to describe complex behavior of classical systems, is shown to characterize that of quantum many-body systems. Using two complimentary approaches, the canonical and grandcanonical formalisms, we discovered that the momentum profile of a Tonks-Girardeau gas—a one-dimensional gas of N impenetrable (hard-core) bosons–harmonically confined on a lattice at fini...

Biocompatible hydroxyapatite nanocomposites are biocompatible, biodegradable and nontoxic have been paid many attentions as one of the most suitable vehicle for drug delivery use. Our objective in this work was to prepare and characterize caseins based HA nanocomposite in a colloidal form for drug delivery purposes. Casein biopolymer was firstly extracted from skimmed milk by adding acetic acid...

In this study, the effects of particle size distribution improvement and dense packing techniques on the 28- and 90-day compressive strengths of class G oil well cement have been investigated. It was observed that limited improvements in the particle size distribution of cement (regarding industrial possibilities) cannot result in a significant increase in 28- and 90-day compressive strengths. ...

areas surrounding mines are severely vulnerable to pollution due to mine explorations, excavations and transportations. nowadays spectrophotometers and spectral reflectance are applied for estimating the concentration of pollutants due to high costs of sampling and laboratory measurements. this research was carried out to determine spatial distribution of lead concentration in soil particle siz...

The particle filter is an effective image denoising technique. An important issue with the application of the particle filter is the selection of the filter parameters, which affect the results significantly. There are two main contributions of this paper. The first contribution is an estimation of the noise level. The second contribution is an improved particle filter (Rao-Blackwellized Partic...
