in order to prevent water losses through disposing hydrous sludge during treatment of water, also recovery and reuse of chemicals; treatment by magnesium carbonate as a coagulant was examined in batch and continuous systems. 600 mg/1 mgco3 as optimum dosage reduced 80% turbidity of a highly turbid water containing 200 ntu. sulfates decreased, but hardness and alkalinity showed some increases. r...

In this paper, the dynamics of multicellular chopper are considered. The model is described by a continuous time three--dimensional autonomous system. Some basic dynamical properties such as Poincar'e mapping, power spectrum and chaotic behaviors are studied. Analysis results show that this system has complex dynamics with some interesting characteristics.

this paper studies a maintenance policy for a system composed of two components, which are subject to continuous deterioration and consequently stochastic failure. the failure of each component results in the failure of the system. the components are inspected periodically and their deterioration degrees are monitored. the components can be maintained using different maintenance actions (repair...

The objective of this paper is to study an integrated two-supplier supply chain whose suppliers are unreliable. An unreliable supplier is alternative between available (ON) and unavailable (OFF) states which are considered to be independent exponential variables. The suppliers apply a continuous review policy and the retailer uses an adapted continuous review base on an(R,Q) policy. Transportat...

this paper introduces an indirect adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller as a power system stabilizer for damping local and inter-area modes of oscillations of multi-machine power systems. this controller is designed based on the combination of sliding mode controller and the fuzzy logic systems. the fuzzy systems are used to approximate the unknown functions of power system model. generator sp...
