Water resources sustainability is one of the major issues in the agricultural sustainability. In this study sustainability of water resources has been investigated by use of linear and non-linear models in six models based on optimal utilization of water resources in the north parts farms of Iran because of incorrect use of agricultural water resources, from 2011 to 2012. Also “gross margin per...

The kinetic study of methylene blue (MB) adsorption using acid-activated spent tea (AAST) as an adsorbent from aqueous solution with the aim of comparing linear and non-linear regression analysis methods was performed at varying initial MB concentrations (10-100 mg/l). Hence, spent tea leaves, which were activated using concentrated sulfuric acid, were prepared. The physicochemical characterist...

Atmospheric dynamics in the tropical regions is dominated by unbalanced motions in response to convective processes, found to vary on many temporal scales from diurnal to inter-seasonal and inter-annual scales. The gravest wave excited by convection is the Kelvin wave and it is characteristics by eastward and upward propagation away from its convective source. As it propagates vertically, a pac...

The present paper deals with the prediction of three-dimensional fluid flow and heat transfer in rib-roughened ducts of square cross-section. Such flows are of direct relevance to the internal cooling system of modern gas turbine blades. The main objective is to assess how a recently developed variant of a cubic non-linear model (proposed by Craft et al. (1999)), that has been shown to produce ...

motion analysis and quality assessment of human sperm cell is of great importance for clinical applications of male infertility. sperm tracking is quite complex due to cell collision, occlusion and missed detection. the goal of this study is simultaneous tracking of multiple human sperm cells. in the first step in this research the frame difference algorithm is used for background subtraction. ...

in this paper, we consider non-linear ginsburg-pitaevski-gross equation with the rosen-morse and modifiedwoods-saxon potentials which is corresponding to the quantum vortices and has important applications in turbulence theory. we use the runge- kutta-fehlberg approximation method to solve the resulting non-linear equation.

We perform numerical simulations of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the mid-plane of a protoplanetary disc. A two-dimensional corotating slice in the azimuthal–vertical plane of the disc is considered where we include the Coriolis force and the radial advection of the Keplerian rotation flow. Dust grains, treated as individual particles, move under the influence of friction with the gas, wh...

background: identification of disease risk factors can help in the prevention of diseases. in assessing the predictive value of continuous variables, a routine procedure is to categorize the factors. this yield to inability to detect non‑linear relationship, if exist. multivariate fractional polynomial (mfp) modeling is a flexible method to reveal non‑linear associations. we aim to demonstrate ...

A pore network model of isothermal drying is presented. The takes into account the capillary effects, transport vapor by diffusion, including Knudsen effect, in gas phase, and Kelvin effect. seen as a first step toward simulation mesoscopic porous materials involving sizes between 4 nm 50 nm. major issue addressed with present computation menisci mean curvature radius at boundary each liquid cl...

data utilized in this study were 6800 records of lambs’ life longevity, and survival rate from 263 sires and 1839 dams collected from 1989 through 2009, from the lori-bakhtiari flock at shooli station in shahrekord. the data were analyzed, using linear and hazard ratio models along with weibul function. these models included such non genetic factors as year and month of birth, sex of lamb, type...
