In this research, the relationship between P-wave velocity (Vp) and Electrical Resistivity (ER) parameters with rock mass quality indices is investigated; parameters such as rock mass quality classification (Q) and modified system for sedimentary rocks, known as Qsrm. For making predictive models, about 1200 data-sets extracted from sections drilled in Seymareh and Karun 2 Dam Sites (SDS and KD...

One of the most commonly used statistical models for characterizing the variations of tree diameter at breast height is Weibull distribution. The usual approach for estimating parameters of a statistical model is the maximum likelihood estimation (likelihood method). Usually, this works based on iterative algorithms such as Newton-Raphson. However, the efficiency of the likelihood method is not...

suitable soil structure is important for crop growth. one of the main characteristics of soil structure is the size of soil aggregates. there are several ways of showing the stability of soil aggregates, among which the determination of the median weight diameter of soil aggregates is the most common method. in this paper, a method based on adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (anfis) was used...

crocin, a bioactive molecule of saffron can be purely isolated from the saffron extract. it has different pharmacological effects such as antioxidant and anticancer activities. morphine is an opioid analgesic drug. it is mainly metabolized in liver and causes devastating effects. it can increase the generation of free radicals. this study was designed to evaluate the protective role of crocin a...

effect of scale on the hydrodynamics of gas-solid fluidized beds was investigated in two fluidized beds of 152 mm and 78 mm in diameter.  air at room temperature was used as the fluidizing gas in the bed of sand particles. the radioactive particle tracking (rpt) technique was employed to obtain the instantaneous positions of the particles at every 20 ms of the experiments. these data were used ...
